VEU Securing the mobility of people and goods and at the same time preserving a healthy environment and natural resources is one of the main challenges our societies face. The DLR internal project “Transport and the Environment” (VEU) aims to analyze the ...
GermanyOver the last two decades, the pollutant emissions from motorised transport have decreased significantly thanks to technical advances in motor vehicles. However, this does not solve the problem of traffic-related pollution. Air pollution causes cardiovasc ...
GermanyLowCarb RFC The LowCarb-RFC study is motivated by a number of research projects funded by the European Commission. All of these studies investigate ambitious scenarios for shifting transport demand from road to rail for better quality of life, energy effi ...
GermanyTo date, there are no international effective regulations concerning greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international maritime transport. As maritime shipping contributes considerably to global GHG emissions, efficiency measures and economic measures are ...
GermanyThe transport sector is one of the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions. In Germany, the transport sector caused an amount of 192 million tons of CO2 emissions in 2010. About 85% of it was contributed by road transport. Accordingly, the transport secto ...
GermanyThe noise exposure from rail freight is still a major environmental challenge. Main problems are caused by old freight wagons, which still account for the vast majority of the rolling stock. Equipped with iron cast brakes their noise emissions are way abo ...
GermanyQWeMob The technological innovations related to electromobility also affect job profiles and structures in the relevant departments of enterprises. In competitive environments, these adaptation processes often take place very fast. Therefore, further trai ...
GermanyNumerous epidemiologic studies have investigated the health impact of road traffic noise, and there are several that have provided similar results due to aircraft noise. Health effects could be demonstrated mostly for arterial hypertension and for cardio- ...
GermanyInternational sea transport in 2005 contributed nearly 3% of the global CO2 emissions, with trends showing further increase. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) which regulates international sea transport has as of June 2011 only adopted the ene ...
GermanyWFF In 2007, Germany showed a strong growth in the aviation sector. In comparison to the European Union, the growth rates were above the average. The growth rates were limited by slow development of the airport infrastructures. To reduce stress in a long- ...
GermanyThe small-scale commercial traffic models used in planning practice do not reflect the large range of tradesmen's services and the predominantly used light commercial vehicles in a sufficiently differentiated manner. This applies in particular to the ...
GermanyFUE Driver assistance systems can only support the driver intelligently if the system has access to adequate information concerning the vehicle and the road, and particularly concerning objects and obstacles in the vehicle environment. The use of differen ...
GermanyFVM Driver assistance systems offer a considerable potential for improving driving safety and comfort. In designing systems to realise this potential successfully, several important issues concerning the human-machine interaction arise and need to be cons ...
GermanySTA Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems regulating headway and speed for freeway and rural highway driving are just entering the market in the latest vehicle series. In the future, it is also desirable to utilize the advantages of this technology under ...
GermanyVAS About 85 percent of all traffic accidents are attributable to driver distraction, fatigue, and perceptual errors. A large proportion of these accidents could be avoided or at least reduced in severity by active safety systems. In particular, assistanc ...
GermanyOver the last few years, electric mobility has been the subject of lively discussions due to the availability of new, more powerful rechargeable batteries and the high volatility on the oil markets. Other political objectives have fed in to this as well s ...
GermanyClimate protection requires a drastic reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve the German goal of almost complete elimination of emissions by 2050, a significant and early structural change in all energy consuming sectors is requi ...
GermanyDisLog Today’s commercial transport has to cope with ever smaller shipments on the one hand, and increasing requirements of speedy and time-exact delivery on the other. Yet, in the context of growing environmental awareness, an increased efficiency of dis ...
GermanyNaNu! Deliveries to and within inner-city areas are a fundamental cause of temporary local bottlenecks in traffic and dominate the local peak concentration periods of relevant pollutants. A shift of deliveries into night time would contribute to decongest ...
GermanyE-BUS Berlin N/A Up to the present, an all-electric bus operation is only possible over short distances, unless the batteries can be recharged along the route. The objective of the E-Bus Berlin project is to prove that electric buses with interim charging ...
