21 Oct Approaching the Urban Mobility by Category Theory

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences (ASTR)

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.

21 Oct Moving people and goods – Developing integrated mobility and logistics to promote quality of life and prosperity

National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech)
2012
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.

21 Oct New autoMobility – The Future World of Automated Road Traffic

National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech)
2015
Owing to developments in the field of assistance systems and automated driving, vehicles are taking over more and more elements of the driving tasks hitherto incumbent on the driver. Thus, automation and connectivity are under way of revolutionising the road transport system. In the present POSITION paper, the project group New autoMobility, a joint initiative by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure and acatech, develops a target scenario of a world of automated road traffic in a future beyond 2030. It provides a set of usage scenarios addressing the challenges of our present mobility system. On the basis of these scenarios, the project group worked out specific policy recommendations for implementation in politics and society. They describe what steps must be taken to set the course towards automated road traffic and how best to take advantage of its ecological, economic and social benefits to promote public welfare.
