Cities are essential for fostering wealth and economic growth. The impact of infrastructure on a city's physical, social, and institutional growth is significant. The significance of urban transportation is crucial in this situation. This paper provides an overview of the different initiatives...

In the course of the so-called requirements plan review, a fundamental discussion is taking place about the priorities in federal trans-port infrastructure planning. Numerous interest groups are calling for a sole focus on climate protection and environmental goals. This paperargues that such a...

A significant part of highway and street congestion is produced by work zones. Depending on the type of construction and/or rehabilitation activity, street capacity could be significantly decreased, or the street could be completely closed. The work zone generates traffic delays in the street...

Maximum entropy methods are used to infer the true trip-distribution matrix in cases where parts of the data are suppressed due to privacy concerns. Large proportions of the suppressed data are found to be inferred correctly when the marginal totals in the trip distribution are known....

Dieses Discussion Paper thematisiert die Regelwerke der Forschungsgesellschaft für Straßen- und Verkehrswesen zur Verkehrsplanung deutscher Großstädte sowie ihren historischen Hintergrund. Anfangs werden geschichtliche Aspekte, wie die Motorisierung oder die zwei Weltkriege, und umgesetzte...

Der Verkehrssektor steht mit Blick auf die Klimaziele und angesichts seiner bislang ausgebliebenen Erfolge bei der Treibhausgasreduktion vor großen Herausforderungen. Getrieben wird der hohe Ausstoß auch durch eine Infrastrukturpolitik, die den Straßenverkehr stark begünstigt. Diese...

Zur Umsetzung einer Verkehrsverlagerung vom autozentrierten Individualverkehr auf den (elektrifizierten) Schienenverkehr bedarf es unter anderem einer neuen Schwerpunktsetzung in der Infrastrukturplanung. Die Erarbeitung von Projektvorschlägen für den Bundesverkehrswegeplan 2030 auf der Ebene...

"Recent changes in travel practices, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, raise the question of how cities and mobility systems are changing. Moreover, many local governments are accelerating their plans to reduce car traffic. This book comprises expert contributions taking multidisciplinary...

"The emerging technologies of Information and Communication Technologies, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and robots and drones, plus collaboration among stakeholders, can be used with data to model, plan and evaluate an efficient and sustainable urban freight...

Proximity for whom? Accessibility in an unequal, ageing city -- Critical issues in operationalizing the x-minute city -- Quality of the walkability for measuring accessibility: The case of the elderly people in the city of Milan -- New metrics for inclusive accessibility by proximity.

The report presents policy options for the successful integration of drones into the transport system. How can countries reap the benefits of drone transport while limiting risks? The report examines concerns about the acceptability, efficiency and sustainability of drone transport. The analysis...

This timely book calls for a paradigm shift in urban transport, which remains one of the critically uncertain aspects of the sustainability transformation of our societies. It argues that the potential of human scale thinking needs to be recognised, both in understanding people on the move in...

Zahlreiche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sichere Infrastruktur für Radfahrende geschaffen werden muss, um den Radverkehrsanteil zu steigern und den Kfz-Verkehrsanteil zu reduzieren. Die wissenschaftliche Grundlage dafür, was als sichere Infrastruktur angesehen wird, ist allerdings nur bedingt...

Verkehrserziehung und das damit einhergehende Ziel, die Sicherheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Straßenverkehr zu gewährleisten und zu fördern, ist seit den 1930er Jahren in Deutschland relevant. Dabei hat sich die inhaltliche wie auch terminologische Ausrichtung mehrmals geändert. Zwar...

Electric vehicles (EVs) can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation sector. Therefore, the German government has defined various measures and targets to promote the diffusion of EVs. However, factors influencing the market diffusion of EVs as well as interdependencies...

Grundlagen Öffentlicher Mobilität -- Aktuelle Entwicklungen Öffentlicher Mobilität: Neue Entwicklungspfade zu einem menschengerechten Verkehr -- Aktuelle Entwicklungen Öffentlicher Mobilität: Neue Instrumente zur Gestaltung eines menschengerechten Verkehrs.

Transport planners see an opportunity in mobile phone data to better map trip destinations and monitor travel demand over time. However, such data require extensive processing to reveal trip details and transport modes. This paper defines quality indicators for reliable trip data collection and...

"American cities are distinct from almost all others in the degree to which freeways and travel on them dominate the urban landscape. While they have for the most part fallen out of favor among transportation planners and policy-makers who seek more sustainable, less-car dependent modes of...

Designing public transport networks involves tradeoffs between extensive geographic coverage, frequent service on each route, and relying on interconnections as opposed to direct service. These choices, in turn, depend on individual preferences for waiting times, travel times, and transfers. We...

The role and agency of the public is often a minor consideration for researchers, authorities, and other experts evaluating policy goals, strategies, and instruments within the transport sector. Public Participation in Transport in Times of Change analyses and discusses different forms of...
