Germany expects an increase of freight transport up to 64% until 2015. The most important growth of 90% is expected for cross border transport. Very negative impacts on the environment, congestion and the overall economy are the consequence. The employmen ...
GermanyVEU 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 ...
GermanyIn order to put a halt to climate change and its effects, Earth’s average temperature should not increase more than two degrees by 2050. This is a common goal which has been declared internationally. The European transport sector must therefore bring abou ...
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 ...
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 ...
GermanyWithin this project, the currently emerging legal standards for emissions measurements under realistic conditions on the road should be tested. In addition, complementary standard measurements on a bench are carried out. The aim is to verify the complianc ...
GermanyThe increasing density of traffic in the road transport sector caused a steady increase in emissions from heavy trucks. In the mid-term, heavy trucks will be the main source of CO2 emissions in surface transport. Effective measures for fuel efficiency and ...
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 ...
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 ...
GermanySince the UN World Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, sustainable development is one of the guiding principles of the international community. The national strategy for Sustainable Development "Perspectives for Germany" sets guiding principles an ...
GermanyCarbon Footprint Freight transport and logistics is a major source of energy consumption and climate gas emissions from transport. For internal assessments as well as for image and competitiveness reasons, customers and logistics service providers get inc ...
GermanyThe transport sector is currently responsible for approx. 30% of final energy consumption and 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. In this context, road transport accounts for the largest share. In recent years, road freight transport in particular ...
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 ...
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 ...
GermanyHELD A major challenge of individual mobility is the mitigation of negative environmental effects. Tightening of ecological and legislative boundary conditions leads to the development of new technologies in the field of public transport. City busses equi ...
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 ...
