Study on Transportation Usage Patterns in Bergisch Gladbach, 2025
Helmert Conducts Mobility Survey in Bergisch Gladbach
In September 2022, the engineering firm Helmert from Aachen will be conducting a mobility survey in the city of Bergisch Gladbach. This survey aims to gather data on the transportation modes used by residents, their frequency, and the purposes of their trips. This information will serve as an essential basis for future traffic planning.
The survey will be directed towards 5,000 randomly selected households in Bergisch Gladbach. Participants will be contacted in mid-September and given the option to complete the questionnaire digitally, on paper, or through a telephone interview.
The distribution of routes to different means of transport, known as the modal split, is a crucial aspect of the survey. By gathering this data, the city can gain insights into the traffic composition, including the shares of pedestrians and cyclists. The modal split is significant because conclusions can be drawn about the sustainability of the transport system.
The data obtained from the survey will be anonymized by aggregating information at the level of statistical districts before further processing. This ensures that traffic flows in the city area can be derived and represented without revealing individual persons.
The survey results will be evaluated and processed by the engineering firm Helmert. The final report on the survey will be available in the first quarter of 2026. It is worth noting that the last data collected in this way in Bergisch Gladbach dates from the year 2014.
Bergisch Gladbach promotes the means of transport of the environmental network (foot, cycle traffic, and public transport). The city encourages its residents to choose these eco-friendly modes of transport for their daily commutes.
The survey will query all household members' mobility behavior for a specific reference day. It will gather information about the means of transport used, distances covered, and purposes of the routes. The data will be used exclusively for mobility recording and not for personal evaluation.

The data gathered from this survey will provide valuable insights into the mobility behavior of people in Bergisch Gladbach and will serve as an important basis for future traffic planning decisions.
