At least 80 per cent of persons at the company know about the project. At least 200 persons have participated in information meetings at the companies. At least 90 per cent of participants at meetings are satisfied with the information. At least 50 persons agree to become test travellers. At least 45 persons test public transport at least 3 days per week for two months. At least 40 persons are satisfied with the tested public transport option. At least half of the test subjects (25 persons) continue to use public transport at least 3 times a week. Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by at least 20 tonnes per year.

7. Drawing up indicators and methods for the different analysis levels 7.1 INDICATORS THAT ASSIST UNDERSTANDING It is often difficult in practice to directly measure travel habits and the impact on traffic for different measures. Indicators can be used instead. Indicators are data that are easy to measure and have been chosen or compiled to illustrate changes that cannot be measured directly. Indicators are specified for each planned service and target group and for each of the analysis levels. Indicators are chosen to be consistent with the defined targets. For some levels and targets it is sufficient to register or measure numbers, while for others it may be better to describe indicators in terms of a percentage. The method or methods used to collect data is to be stated for each indicator. It is not possible only to focus on quantifying changes, such as the number of motorised kilometres. It is also important to study why these changes have taken place. This means the list of indicators should also include reasons for the changes in behaviour. Indicators used are slightly different for city-wide and site-specific projects. 7.2 METHODS FOR COLLECTING DATA A large amount of different types of data can be interesting to study. However, data collection requires extensive effort and is often expensive. It is therefore important to carefully identify which data are necessary for monitoring and evaluation of the project for the chosen indicators. Before starting a project, one should carefully think through which behavioural measurements are required before the project begins. This is necessary to compare and measure the effects of implemented measures. In principle, data collection should be carried out regularly (each year, month, week etc.) in order to monitor changes in user situation and behaviour, increased programme efficiency and the impact of this on the transport system. While planning the project one should decide how often data collection should take place. For the Test Traveller project, it is suitable to measure travel behaviour before the test period, during the test period, and 6 and 12 months afterwards. Documentation of useful achievements should be carried out continuously. INDICATORS AND METHODS sumo – System for Evaluation of Mobility Projects 25
