In an ever more connected world, society’s reliance on high integrity positional, navigational and timing (PNT) data is growing. The Academy’s study has identified an increasing number of applications where PNT signals from GNSS are used with little, or no, non-GNSS based back-ups available. The trend is for GNSS to be used in a growing number of safety of life critical systems. Unfortunately, the integrity of GNSS is insufficient for these applications without augmentation. Non-GNSS based back-ups are often absent, inadequately exercised or inadequately maintained.  The recommendations of this report include raising awareness, analysing impact, increasing resilience and a number of particular policy responses.

Considering that transport modes are suited for certain market areas, it is proposed to shift from the existing concepts of inter-, multi- and co-modality to the generalizing concepts, theories and models in order to bring transport modes into an equivalent logistics space where the mobility systems are comparable and capable of cooperation at various levels: companies, logistic chains, urban corridors, urban intermodal platforms etc.

The integrated education in view of sustainable development requests the study of the following themes: population (structure and spatial distribution), manner of living, organizational structures and their administration, spatial structures, technical structures and ecological environment. In synthetic approach, the level of sustainable development of the territory subordinated of the mentioned themes has to be assessed by sustainable development indicators - EUROSTAT - existing in Romania.

Mobility is one of our basic needs as human beings. It provides us with independence, allows us to express our individuality and enables us to enjoy a full social life and participate actively in society. We need mobility to do our shopping, for example, and it is therefore essential for trade and supplying people with the goods they buy. Goods transport, production and trade are also facilitated by logistics. Efficient logistics networks are key to securing economic growth and enabling Germany's export trade to do business on the international market. The German logistics industry is worth 222 billion euros and employs 2.8 million people, making it the country's third largest industry. Logistics is also a high-tech business with enormous market potential both nationally and internationally.
