Purpose The majority of current e-carsharing users are middle-aged men with a high education and high income; they are most likely to have a full-time employment. Women are consistently underrepresented in previous studies and therefore this paper focusses on characterization of female early adopters. It builds a basis to identify current female ea...

The poster describes perceived differences between battery electric vehicles and other modes of transport and groups them accordingly. Evaluating acceptance of BEVs, subjective perspectives have to be taken into account, in order to address the subgroups of potential customers appropriately. Individuals take an interest in more characteristics of m...

Travel patterns in daily life differ greatly between women and men, and differences in socialisation substantially impact travel mode choice. The literature has demonstrated a higher affinity towards local public transportation and sustainability for women. Men, by contrast, show a higher affinity towards cars, technology, and innovation. However,...

This mixed-methods research provides insights about gender preferences of urban women regarding innovative urban mobility solutions analysing the use of and the attitudes towards free-floating e-carsharing in urban areas from a gender perspective. This work provides the answer to the research question, what motivates urban women to use free-floatin...

The presentation contains recommendations on how to collect and use data in mobility research in a gender-sensitive way. It gives indications of how the gender data gap can occur and where gender differences are currently not visible in mobility data. The process of empirical research is followed by looking at pitfalls and potential biases to avoi...

This is a summary of my PhD research: The dissertation started with the phenomenon that needed to be understood in order to close the gap in existing theories that cover gender-sensitive (sustainable and urban) mobility. Those existing theories could not explain the high share of men using innovative sustainable mobility services as many studies sh...

This topical collection of Transportation Research Procedia includes a selection of peer-reviewed articles presented at the 46 th European Transport Conference (ETC) organised by the Association for European Transport (AET), in the historical site of Dublin Castle, from October the 10 th to October 12 th 2018. AET is the leading European organisati...

The digital transformation and the new modes of transport (e.g., automated vehicles, ride hailing, car sharing, demand-responsive transport systems, and micro-mobility) offer a wide range of possibilities to improve accessibility and to promote inclusive mobility solutions addressing the needs of disadvantaged groups of population. However, as the...

This study aims for (1) characterising female early adopters, (2) identifies the attitudes towards sustainable transport of urban women in contrast to men, (3) identifies potential obstacles and advantages of free-floating car-sharing of urban women to (4) provide practical measures to promote FFECS for urban women as an additional part of multi- a...

The 46th European Transport Conference (ETC) is taking place from 10th-12th October 2018 at Dublin Castle, Dublin (Ireland), hosted by the Association for European Transport (AET) and local partners. After the successful implementation of the Young Researchers’ and Practitioners’ Forum (YRPF) in 2013, ETC 2018 will again include a special format fo...

Women in urban areas have specific requirements for their daily mobility. Car sharing services are mostly used by men as shown in studies from different countries. This study aims for understanding specific reasons and requirements of respective trips in women’s every day live to help dismantle hurdles, which hinder women to use carsharing services...

Understanding of acceptance of electric mobility has been typically discussed by a comparison of vehicles with different types of propulsion engines, battery electric vehicles and vehicles with an internal combustion engine. Nevertheless, electric mobility comprehends a combination of public transport and electric vehicles. The aim of this paper is...

Dear colleagues, The 45rd European Transport Conference (ETC) is taking place from 04-06 October 2017 at Casa Convalescencia, Barcelona (Spain), hosted by the Association for European Transport (AET) and local partners. After the successful implementation of the Young Researchers’ and Practitioners’ Forum (YRPF) in 2013, ETC 2017 will again includ...

Not just that there are different travel patterns in the day-to day life, but also do differences in socialization have a high impact on mode choice. Previous literature shows a higher affinity to local public transportation and sustainability for women. Men, on the other hand, show a higher affinity towards cars, technology and innovation. However...

Purpose The aim of this paper is to provide insight into how people assess different charging options in the context of electric mobility and how charging can be integrated into daily activities. The central research question concerns the acceptance of fast charging with direct current up to 200 kWh relative to alternative charging concepts such as...

Teilbericht des Projekts E3 – Combined Charging System: Entwicklung und Demonstration von Schnellladestationen zum Arbeitspaket 6

Electric mobility comprises a variety of transportation systems, notably the combination of public transport and electrically powered vehicles. It serves as an inherent part of future urban integrated mobility concepts. From the users’ perspective, e-mobility has so far been discussed via a comparison of cars with internal combustion engines (ICEV)...

Carsharing with battery electric vehicles can help reducing urban space scarcity, local and global emissions and noise exposure. However, operating a carsharing scheme with electric vehicles is more expensive and offers users less autonomy than carsharing powered by internal combustion engines. Thus, carsharing providers need to identify and addres...

The tasks facing German child protection in the media are complex and constantly need to adapt to new aspects of the Internet. The legal position in Germany, however, is even more complex. Various laws have been simply amended in line with changes on the market. Unfortunately, this has obscured the view of the whole picture and many aspects of chil...
