Mobility Management to Reduce Travel: The Case of Aalborg

Abstract

The solution to traffic problems was often seen in the past simply in terms of building more roads. Increasingly, however, a wider range of mobility management measures is employed to solve transport problems while supporting environmental objectives. These often include non-physical measures, such as traveller information and company based travel schemes. The city of Aalborg in Denmark has used a combination of measures to promote modal switching and reduce congestion, in the process helping to avoid the need for new road construction. Aalborg is the regional capital of North Jutland, and with some 125,000 inhabitants is the fourth largest city in Denmark. The city of Aalborg's recorded history dates back to the beginning of this millennium, but only in the last century has it grown to be of some size and importance, with many industries and a university. Aalborg actually consists of two cities located on either side of the Limfjord Channel. Aalborg proper is on the southern side of this channel, while on the north side lies Norre Sundby. Administratively, both cities are located in Aalborg Municipality. Nevertheless, their separation by the channel presents an important physical barrier
