α LED lights for in-line skates

main problems with the older version :

-low adaptability for different designs of skates -low durability

major improvements :

-higher durability-easier installation-better visibility from sides-participation on public demonstrations with larger audience accompanied by police

α LED lights - demonstration

Your initiatives

clearly visible difference

new police forces

β Transportation study - analysis

Your ideas

brainstorming & discussion :

-why has Martin such a high percentage of cyclists in comparison with other Slovak cities ?-which age groups are the most prevalent among cyclists and among skaters ?-what are the differences between cyclists and skaters with regard to infrastructure requirements ?

preparation of questions for a town official :

-is there something like a long-term framework plan for the development of non-motorist transportation in Martin ?-does the planning follow guidelines of an institute or an example of a twin town ?-which other facilities are planned to be built other than the roads ?-in which forms is the information campaign to be carried out ?-have you implemented a way to collect feedback from visitors and citizens ?

β Transportation in Martin - interview

Your initiatives

present situation for non-motorists :

-high traffic flow capacity for both motorists and non-motorists-good information campaign potential thanks to a regional organization for cyclists, town webpage with a high traffic, high number of volunteers and culture institutions-excellent natural resources with water access and accommodation services

issues :

-small lenght of quality cyclo roads in the town-sole focus on cyclists-too many road crossings where motorists have priority-disrupted connections to nearby recreational roads and other transport options-lack of parking places for cyclists and other facilities-non-existent long-tem plans for sustainable regional development

γ Information campaign

Your ideas

student campaign :

-focus on daily commuters (students, bus or train co-travellers)-social sites, sharing of experiences-helps to improve social skills, cheap but also unreliable

town campaign :

-high accessibility and trust, official-public spaces, town webpage, regional television-potentially expensive

events :

-varied masses, singular occassions with small chance of providing complete info-can target specific groups, e.g. turistic events for cyclists, meetings, ...

γ Cycle rickshaw

Your initiatives

good speed, maneuverability :

-distinguishable-a lot of advertisement space-easily combined with individual skaters, cyclicts and others-space for two “customers”

δ Existing issues - identification

Your ideas

two types of issues that can be resolved locally - construction (project) :

-impossible road turns-absurd obstacles, confusing signs, details - e.g. road bumpers and 5km/h speed limit-pedestrian crossings

and maintenance (management) issues :

-obstruction of visibility by plant growth-obstruction by vehicles, terraces, etc.-obstruction by pedestrians

issues that require large-scale solutions - urbanistic problems :

-road crossings without priority for non-motorists-missing relations to other roads, areas, facilities, etc.

δ construction (project) issues

Your initiatives

impossible road turns

5km/h speed limitpedestrian crossings

confusing signs combined with road bumpers and parking lots for cars

δ maintenance (management) issues

Your initiatives

pedestrians

construction

a terrace, people, etc.

δ urbanistic issues

Your initiatives

- road crossings without priority for non-motorists- missing relations to other roads, areas, facilities, etc.

prevention :

- correct order of (construction) services- audit of the project during each step- information campaign - increasing awareness
