The City of Sinsheim commissioned Plan4Better to carry out an integrated mobility analysis of cycling, walking and public transport to reduce the high dependency on private motor traffic and identify improvement potentials for the city’s various transport modes.
Sinsheim is a vibrant community of around 37,000 inhabitants in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Known for attractions such as the modern TSG Hoffenheim stadium, Sinsheim has become an important regional hub. Despite significant investments in sustainable mobility, most trips are still made by car, and key destinations - like the business park with its stadium, climate arena and thermal baths - remain accessible from the surrounding area mainly by transferring at Sinsheim station.
The aim of this mobility analysis was to identify improvement potentials for cycling, walking and public transport in Sinsheim. Rather than viewing individual measures as competitors to private motorized transport (PMT), an integrated concept was pursued. Using the WebGIS platform GOAT, Plan4Better conducted a comprehensive SWOT analysis of foot, bike and transit networks.
The infrastructure and offer analysis was complemented by a current demand analysis, combining origin-destination matrices derived from mobile-phone data and public transport occupancy based on AFZS traffic counts.
This data-driven approach identified existing gaps and supported the development of high-impact measures aligned with current demand potential in close coordination with the City of Sinsheim.
