Cycling-oriented traffic planning

RadVis - Digitalization in cycling

The state of Baden-Württemberg has set itself the goal of achieving a 20 percent share of cycling by 2030 so that the statewide, national and international climate protection goals can be implemented.

For this reason, climate-neutral forms of mobility such as cycling must be given priority. This means a paradigm shift in transportation planning, which has focused heavily on the car in recent decades.

With a traffic turnaround, Baden-Württemberg wants to make its streets more livable and ensure that living spaces become people-friendly again. 

A tool for documenting and planning cycling networks

For cycling-oriented planning, data is the basis for designing mobility that is oriented to the needs of the users. In addition to this data, information on cycling infrastructure plays a central role. The Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg has therefore been working intensively on the digital representation of a state-wide bicycle network.

RadVIS, which it developed together with WPS Workplace Solutions, is a unique system for cycling infrastructure information in Germany that creates a clear and comprehensive data basis for cycling infrastructure and thus facilitates cycling planning. 

How does RadVIS work?

Where is a cycle path located? And how wide is it? Where is the RadNETZ Baden-Württemberg and where are the district or municipal networks? Many of these questions can be answered, but usually only with difficulty and cause quite a bit of work. Various information on cycling infrastructure is available in the administration, but often not digitally in one place. This makes it difficult to exchange information with neighboring municipalities, higher administrative levels and the public.

With the statewide Cycling Infrastructure System (RadVIS), the state of Baden-Württemberg supports districts and municipalities in designing and documenting their cycling networks. The state's own mobility center contributes directly to digitization in cycling and enables simplified cycling planning. RadVIS is a project that enables the state of Baden-Württemberg to make its contribution to the traffic turnaround.

If you don't know how wide the bike lane is, how high curbs are or what the condition is, you can only close gaps and make improvements to a limited extent. With RadVIS, this data from different sources is unified and presented in one system for the first time. The system offers comprehensive functions for the collection, processing and evaluation of the available data.

In order to reach its full potential, RadVIS is actively maintained by the users, and so that RadVIS starts with a good basis, the Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg is expanding the existing condition recording and evaluation for cycle paths to include other aspects such as cycle path width.

The development of RadVIS

After the state of Baden-Württemberg had completed the conception phase in 2020, the starting signal for the development of RadVIS was given to WPS Workplace Solutions on 01.01.2021. Thereupon, all participants worked at full speed to visualize the state-wide RadNETZ with its current course in a first step.

With the RadNETZ BW, the state of Baden-Württemberg has implemented a comprehensive, continuous network of bicycle connections suitable for everyday use between medium-sized and large cities. It is supplemented by the cycling networks of the districts, cities and municipalities. Via a web application, RadVIS provides tools for the documentation and planning of bicycle networks to those responsible for bicycle traffic.

After the presentation of the RadNETZ in RadVIS, the integration of signposting, municipal cycling networks, planned measures, tourist routes and all existing cycling infrastructure data followed in further work steps.

"Cycling planning must be carried out from the user's point of view. RadVIS summarizes data to be able to plan user-oriented. This makes cycling safer and more attractive."

Lisanne Slotboom (Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg) 

That's why RadVIS is the right software

Lasse Schneider, project manager RadVIS at WPS: "With RadVIS, WPS is developing a web application for the state of Baden-Württemberg that enables those responsible for cycling in the administration to document, plan and evaluate information about the cycling infrastructure. In parallel, a web portal for citizens to plan cycling routes and view the existing cycling infrastructure is being developed with the Cycling Route Planner BW. Both applications should help to increase the share of cycling in Baden-Württemberg to 20% of all trips by 2030."

Lisanne Slotboom, Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg: "With the state-wide cycling infrastructure system (RadVIS), the state supports counties and municipalities in designing and documenting their cycling networks. In this way, the Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg contributes directly to digitization in cycling and enables simplified cycling planning. RadVIS is a project with which the Mobility Center Baden-Württemberg makes its contribution to the traffic turnaround."
