Mobility Analyses for Südliche Weinstraße

For the Südliche Weinstraße study area and the city of Landau, we conducted, on behalf of the District of Südliche Weinstraße, a public transport (ÖPNV) study on the accessibility of tourist destinations by local transit. This study was carried out as part of the Rhine-Neckar region’s Smart Region initiative. Its aim was to identify both general and tourism-specific strengths and weaknesses of the transit offer, which were consolidated in a comprehensive gap analysis.

As the on-demand service VRNflexline operates in parts of Südliche Weinstraße, the public transport analysis integrated this service with classical line-based public transport to provide a complete analysis of the transit offer. For the tourism-specific analysis, we produced fact sheets for 19 selected POIs to illustrate their accessibility by different modes of transport. Our evaluation also incorporated results from a visitor survey conducted at several POIs. Based on these analyses, we developed a catalogue of measures designed to improve the quality of public transport in the District of Südliche Weinstraße.
