Mobility Planning

Mobility planning challenges are fundamentally spatial — from assessing public transport quality to identifying cycling infrastructure gaps. GOAT brings together GTFS timetable data, traffic flow data, and sociodemographic information in one browser-based platform, enabling transport planners to move from raw data to decision-ready insights without GIS expertise.

Public transport quality classes (ÖV-Güteklassen) analysis in GOAT

Assess & Benchmark Public Transport Quality

Calculate public transport quality classes (ÖV-Güteklassen) based on real timetable data to assess service levels at stop and municipality level. Identify underserved areas, benchmark against regional or national standards, and build a data-driven case for network improvements — including the integration of on-demand services alongside classical scheduled transit.

Identify Gaps in Walking, Cycling & Transit Access

Evaluate how well residents can reach essential destinations — schools, healthcare facilities, workplaces, retail, and public transport stops — by foot or by bicycle. GOAT's isochrone and heatmap tools make it easy to identify gaps in the active mobility network and prioritise infrastructure investments where they matter most.
