Sustainable Travel – Mobile Media Examples?

December 6, 2010 at 6:53 pm · Filed under bike, car, GPS, interactive, ipod, mobile phone, Sonic Interaction Design, sound studies, sustainable, walking

Can anyone recommend mobile media projects that encourage sustainable travel behaviour? I’m looking for examples where artists, designers or activists have used mobile phones (or any other mobile devices) to encourage people to walk/cycle/use public transport/share cars/etc.

(The photo is from a trip to Helsinki in the summer – liked the sound-mobile-media-cycling graffiti very much.)

Any creative or inspiring ideas welcome! I’m attending an interdisciplinary event on “how to change transport behaviours” this week, and would like to show some examples of how mobile media might be able to do this.

If any of these projects would use sound (in addition to images, maps and text maybe) that would be a bonus, obviously!

Thank you in advance for any suggestions (as comment or email to f dot behrendt at sussex dot ac dot uk)!
