BRT i Helsingborg

- Abstract (Swedish)
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) är en benämning på ett högkvalitativt kollektivtrafiksystem som utvecklades under mitten av 1900 – talet och blev känt efter att det framgångsrikt implementerades i staden Curitiba i Brasilien. I Sverige används BRT som ett komplement till övrig kollektivtrafik medan det i stora städer runt om i världen fungerar som stommen i kollektivtrafiksystemet. För BRT i Sverige finns det guidelines som med hjälp av olika kriterier anger vilken standardnivå systemet har. Beroende på vilka förutsättningar en stad har och vilket standardnivå systemet införs med kan olika resultat uppnås. I Helsingborg har en BRT – lösning som ska ersätta linje 1 planerats sedan 2013 med namnet HelsingborgsExpressen. Syftet med detta... (More)

Beroende på vilka förutsättningar en stad har och vilket standardnivå systemet införs med kan olika resultat uppnås. I Helsingborg har en BRT – lösning som ska ersätta linje 1 planerats sedan 2013 med namnet HelsingborgsExpressen. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka det bakomliggande målet med HelsingborgsExpressen och studera effekterna som införandet av BRT bidrar med till Helsingborgs stad utifrån framkomlighet, trafiksäkerhet och resbeteende. Målet är att utveckla kunskaperna om hur Helsingborgs stad kommer att påverkas i samband med att HelsingborgsExpressen tas i drift. En enkät har tagits fram för att samla in information om hur nya resenärer ser på hur förändringen av framkomlighet, trafiksäkerhet och resbeteende som projektet innebär. För att ta del av linjesträckningen utformning med hänsyn till trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet togs två formulär fram som användes vid observationer av olika platser längs med sträckan. Som komplement till observationerna utfördes en intervju med planerare på Helsingborg Stad som arbetat med projektet. Resultatet av fallstudien har lett fram till fördjupade kunskaper i projektet HelsingborgsExpressen. Målet med HelsingborgsExpressen är att öka andelen kollektivtrafiksresor och bidra till målet med 22 miljoner kollektivresor år 2022 uppnås. Införandet av HelsingborgsExpressen kommer att innebära ökad framkomlighet för kollektivtrafiken, fotgängare och cyklister samt begränsad framkomlighet för övriga motorfordon. Trafiksäkerheten kommer att öka för samtliga trafikantgrupper då väl anpassade lösningar har utformats för varje plats och alla trafikantgrupper har tilldelats tydliga utrymmen i vägrummet. Utformningen och placeringen av den nya expresslinjen förväntas medföra ett ökat antal resor baserat på attityden till Helsingborgsexpressen och stadsutvecklingen längs den planerade linjesträckningen.

- Abstract
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a name for a high – quality public transport system that was developed in the middle of the 19th century and became known after it was successfully implemented in the city of Curitiba in Brazil. In Sweden, BRT is used as a complement to other public transport, while in large cities around the world it functions as the frame of the public transport system. For BRT in Sweden there are guidelines and different criteria that indicate which standard level the system has. Depending on the condition the city has and which standard level the system is introduced with, different results can be achieved. In Helsingborg, a BRT solution that will replace line 1 has been planned since 2014. The purpose of this thesis is to... (More)
- Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a name for a high – quality public transport system that was developed in the middle of the 19th century and became known after it was successfully implemented in the city of Curitiba in Brazil. In Sweden, BRT is used as a complement to other public transport, while in large cities around the world it functions as the frame of the public transport system. For BRT in Sweden there are guidelines and different criteria that indicate which standard level the system has. Depending on the condition the city has and which standard level the system is introduced with, different results can be achieved. In Helsingborg, a BRT solution that will replace line 1 has been planned since 2014. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the underlying goal of the HelsingborgsExpressen and to study the effects introduction of BRT contributes to Helsingborg ́s city based on accessibility, traffic safety and travel behavior. The goal is to develop knowledge about how Helsingborg ́s city will be affected in connection with the commissioning of the HelsingborgsExpressen. A survey has been developed to gather information on how new travelers see how the change in accessibility, traffic safety and travel behavior that the project entails. In order to take note of the line stretch design with regard to traffic safety and accessibility. Two forms were developed which were used in observations of different locations along the route. As an addition to the observations, an interview was carried with planners at Helsingborg Stad who worked with the project. The result of the case study has led to in-depth knowledge of the project HelsingborgsExpressen. The goal of the HelsingborgsExpressen is to increase the proportion of public transport trips and contribute to the goal with 22 million trips in 2022 achieved. The introduction of the HelsingborgsExpressen will increase accessibility for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists, and limited accessibility for other vehicles. Traffic safety will increase for all road user groups as well – adapted solutions have been designed for each location. All road user groups have been allocated visible spaces. The design and placement of the new express line is expected to result in an increased number of trips based on the attitude to the HelsingborgsExpressen and the urban development along the planned rote stretch.
