Mobility survey in central Styria

In the second half of 2020, the Graz Urban Mobility Lab carried out a pilot survey in central Styria. In cooperation with the market Institute and Graz University of Technology, PRISMA proved that the acquisition of mobility data - even over several months - with MobiMeter® is easy and effortless for the participants. The initiative is a pilot survey, which is why the results are not representative of the population as a whole.

A longitudinal section of data shows changes in mobility behavior over time and thus allows more in-depth statements than the snapshot of a conventional survey.

The evaluation of available data is even more interesting, as the second COVID-19 lockdown (Nov. 3 - Dec. 7, 2020) occurred during the survey period.

The key data

Development partner: Mobility Lab Graz

Period: 13.07.2020 – 15.12.2020

Scope: 85 participants tracked 13.464 routes, either entirely or partially in Styria, with a total length of 183.003 km.

For the evaluation, Styria was divided into three structurally different areas: Graz city center, Greater Graz (excluding the city center) and Upper, Eastern & Southern Styria (excluding Greater Graz).

Mobility curves, automatically generated from raw data. By the way: a very interesting comparison of October and November 2020, which shows the lockdown, starting in the beginning of November.

Spatial comparison I: Distribution of routes to the main modes of transport in different areas all persons, all means of transport

Diagrams, automatically generated from raw data. Due to the different number of participants in considered pilot areas, there are also different numbers of covered distances.

Spatial comparison II: Relative distribution of routes to main means of transport in different pilot areas all persons, all means of transport

Spatial comparison III: Distribution of tracked kilometers to main means of transport all persons, all means of transport

Diagrams, automatically generated from raw data.

Spatial comparison IV: Comparison of mobility curves per means of transport
