Die EU-Kommission plant eine jährliche Hauptuntersuchung für PKW ab zehn Jahren, um die Verkehrssicherheit zu erhöhen. Dieser Policy Impuls analysiert die Maßnahme aus ökonomischer Perspektive und zeigt: Die geplante Regelung erzielt kaum sicherheitsrelevante Effekte, verursacht aber...

Transportation is a backbone of modern globalized societies. It also causes approximately one third of all EU and US greenhouse gas emissions, represents a major health hazard for global populations and poses significant economic costs (e.g., due to traffic congestion). However, rapid innovation...

This paper addresses the extension of cross-border transport within the EU. Despite the longstanding efforts of transport and cohesion policies to improve cross-border transport, many border regions still face challenges related to transport infrastructure and local public transport; these are...

Die Grenzen des Verkehrswachstums sind erreicht. Klimaschutz und Lebensqualität sind wichtiger als hochgerüstete Autoflotten, die für Millionen Menschen ohne Auto Belastungen und Mobilitätsnachteile bedeuten. Notwendig ist eine radikale sozial-ökologische Transformation des Verkehrssystems:...

Our mobility system is changing rapidly. We are at the crossroad of major changes in the way we travel and deliver goods. Research agendas are adapting to this changed environment with new challenges and opportunities. This paper presents a research agenda for the future of transportation...

The paper provides an overview of the most important technical requirements for railway infrastructure as regulated by the standards proposed by the European Union. More precisely, the paper gives an insight into the following Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) requirements: track gauge,...

This paper assesses the impact of European rail transport regulation in the past 25 years. It highlights competition as a necessary condition to overcome the inertia of legacy railway operators, but argues that competition is not sufficient to increase efficiency when they feel protected by the...

In this paper the strategic transport policy assessment instrument HIGH-TOOL is presented. The model has been developed for the European Commission, allowing policy-makers to identify the most advantageous transport policies and to strategically evaluate the impacts of transport policies on...

Mobility in Brazil represents a crucial challenge for policy makers, given the economic, environmental and social problems that current patterns of transportation bear in densely populated urban areas. The research stems from the assumption that, since commuters play a key-role in driving the...

Es gibt schon viel Literatur über eine umweltfreundlichere Verkehrspolitik. Aber das von Wirtschafts- und Verkehrswissenschaftlern verfasste neue Buch ist weitgespannter. Es behandelt neben dem Klimaschutz auch den Umbruch in der Autoindustrie mit gravierenden Folgen für den Arbeitsmarkt. Ein...

This Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA) roadmap document addresses the Research and Innovation (R&I) activities and other policy support measures required so that the concepts of connected and automated transport (CAT), for all transport modes, may contribute to the...
