Branchenreport zur Radlogistik Jahr 2021

Car- and Bike-sharing systems have dramatically altered mobility services in metropolitan areas in recent years. They improve flexibility and convenience for non-private car-based mobility. This transformation seems to be further revolutionized by the introduction of self-driving vehicles. Indeed, Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems are ga...

In this modern era of transportation, bike-sharing systems dynamically increased their scope as one of the main mobility components in cities. Conventional bike-sharing systems significantly impact urban mobility, and the users have more interest in the utilization of bikes for short trips. However, the conventional bike-sharing systems have no dyn...

Autonomous Driving as a possible, almost likely future of mobility offers new scenarios to move. In the present study, we take the first step to transfer the vision of mobility as a service on autonomous driving cargo bikes: users will be able to call a cargo bike, use it for multiple purposes and release it again for others to use. To ensure broad...
