Bis zur Jahrtausendwende stellt sich die Situation im Mobilitätsbereich so dar, dass es viele Konzeptideen zu einer Verbesserung des Verkehrsflusses, zur Reduzierung des Umweltaufwandes durch eine Verringerung der Fahrleistung im Individualverkehr sowie für einen Modal-Shift zu umweltverträglicheren Verkehrsträgern gab, die Umsetzung allerdings anh...

Aims In 2016, the government of Punjab (Pakistan) established a new system for inspecting road vehicles. The inspection system tests the roadworthiness, noise level, and emissions from the vehicles. These test metrics have further economic benefits that will be analyzed throughout the study. As the main aim of this study, we provide an economic imp...

Die COVID-19-Pandemie stellt nicht nur alle Sozialsysteme vor enorme Herausforderungen, sondern offenbart auch systembedingte Schwächen der deutschen Verkehrspolitik und der Aktivitäten großer Privatunternehmen. Scheinbar gesunde Großkonzerne, die in den letzten Jahren Gewinne von mehreren Milliarden Euro erwirtschaftet haben, scheitern bereits, na...

Die Theorie der Institutionellen Rollenmodelle (IRM) ist ein dynamisches Organisationsmodell, welches zwei Ziele verfolgt: einerseits die Reduzierung von Unsicherheiten für alle beteiligten Akteure und andererseits die Entwicklung eines Vertrauensverhältnisses, die Etablierung einer diskriminierungsfreien Kooperationsdynamik und die Verfolgung geme...

Im Januar 2020 sind wir nicht davon ausgegangen, dass uns die Pandemie in einem solchen Ausmaß beeinflussen wird. Jetzt können wir nach vorne blicken und Konzepte für die Eindämmung einer erneuten oder wiederkehrenden Pandemie entwickeln. Doch wie hat sich die Pandemie auf die Mobilitätsbranche ausgewirkt? In diesem Kapitel diskutieren die Herausge...

Forecasting mobility and travel demand with the aid of dedicated model-based approaches is a recognized method to deal with challenges related to urban transport planning as well as the fulfilment of political goalsetting. Nevertheless, even if for the transport segment a large variety of forecasting models exists, the specification on limited purp...

The demands on companies, especially on their ability to innovate, have risen dramatically in recent years. Hence, the importance of partnerships, networks, clusters and ecosystems has increased. When aiming for innovation it is generally accepted that merging various skills may lead to competitive advantages. So-called innovation ecosystems would...

Political goal settings related to sustainable development and zero emission goals in the transport segment, just as a comprehensive market deployment of electric vehicles with a 2020 horizon, often miscarry when it comes to user acceptance. Radical changes and disruptive innovations that are expected to negatively affect individual’s mobility comf...

With the shift from an industrial to a knowledge-based society entire branches of the economy are facing far-reaching changes. For companies in the automotive industry this new era will mean opportunities as well as challenges.

Die Kosten für die Erhebung und die Kontrolle der Maut betragen nach den Berechnungen des BMVI rund 195 Millionen Euro pro Jahr. Somit ist mit Nettoeinahmen in Höhe von rund 500 Mi...

Electric vehicles play a central role for sustainable mobility and have technologically improved over the years. However, customers remain sceptical because the advantages of electric vehicles are perceived as minor. Consequently, the intention to use electric mobility is low. Recent research projects aim at integrating Intelligent Transportation S...

Transport systems are marked by a strong path dependency due to habits, infrastructure, and market rigidities. This path dependency result is challenging for innovative solutions as they face unexpected barriers, but also abrupt acceleration once the barriers are overcome. In consequence, innovation diffusion needs special attention when transformi...

The European mass-market introduction of FEVs in general and the implementation of eCo-FEV platform in particular require considerable investments from various stakeholders. In order to decide on an investment, private investors expect viable business models. Public authorities on the other hand usually decide on investments on the basis of an econ...

Future mobility will be marked by cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). Therefore, the European Union fosters the implementation of C-ITS. The European Commission introduced the Directive 2010/40/EU on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in road transport and for interfaces with other transport modes. The...

Market introduction are important topics of intelligent transport systems (ITS) as market penetration crucially affects socio-economic profitability. Therefore, the identification of relevant explanatory factors of market penetration is a crucial topic. This paper overcomes the current focus on consumer-related or strategic factors. It, in contrast...

Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are making big efforts to produce cleaner vehicles both to give an answer to the requirements of society and to fulfil approval standards. In the interest of environmental and health protection as well as fair competition it is important to ensure that vehicles on European roads are maintained to a high degree of...

For a successful implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS), technological progresses and innovations are undisputable important. Nevertheless, economic viability may not be forgotten as a prerequisite. Considerable investments for stakeholders (such as public or industry) are needed to equip vehicles, install the necessary infrastructur...

Governments have always been playing a central role for the provision and protection of critical infrastructures (infrastructures that are essential to national stability and security, such as energy, water or transport). Over the last decade, criticism on the increasing instability and vulnerability of these infrastructures emerged as they require...

Is a minimum regulation efficient or not? This general question of the paper is answered by empirical evidence using cost-benefit analyses. The period technical inspection in the European Union is regulated by a minimum regulation leading to 13 different practices of roadworthiness inspection of passenger cars and light goods vehicles. It can be sh...

Main objective of the study is to find out the socio-economic benefits and costs resulting from a change of the inspection cycle of N1 vehicles (vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes) in Belgium. The current Periodic Technical Inspection (PTI) has a cycle of 1-1-1-1, which means that every year t...

The overall objective of TEDDIE was to define new test procedures and equipment for measuring emissions of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) from diesel vehicles during periodic technical inspection (PTI).

Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) promise significant traffic safety improvements, which means from a societal point of view that resource savings can be realized and the allocative efficiency can be optimized. Therefore, transport policy has a high willingness to support and to ensure the market introduction of IVSS. The general proof of t...

Road crashes take a tremendous human and societal toll from all EU member states. Each year, more than 125.000 people are killed and millions more are injured, many of them permanently. The costs of the road safety problem in the EU amount up to 2% of its gross domestic product. New, safety related technologies are promising instruments in order to...

Background & policy context: Transport is a key element of modern economies. Due to an increasing demand for transport services, the European Union is in need of an efficient transport system, and has to address the problematic issues raised by transport congestion; the harmful effects to the environment and public health; and the heavy toll of r...
