S3 Goal of Sub-Project A is to state the final results of the Lufthansa Systems subproject “Trusted Traveller” in the framework of the project S3 (Safety seat to seat). The final results are to be communicated clearly to the project sponsor National Aeron ...
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 ...
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 ...
GermanyAlthough major improvements have been made in the past two decades, air quality levels in cities still are of major concern to public health. To achieve a further reduction in citizens' exposure to air pollutants, lowering the exhaust emissions from ...
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- ...
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 ...
GermanyTo harmonize the European rail transport system and to reduce the noise emissions of rail transport, technical specifications for interoperability (TSI) were implemented: For the first time, there are general European-wide limits for noise emissions regar ...
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 ...
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- ...
GermanyCritical infrastructures supply households, enterprises and public administration with electricity, water and Internet or other essential goods and services. Even minor disturbances can be mutually reinforcing and cause supply shortages and high economic ...
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 ...
GermanyThe mobility of private households is not covered by official statistics. The Federal Ministry of Transport therefore relies on supplementary surveys to fulfil its tasks (e. g. policy-making, federal traffic route planning). Since 1994, the BMVI has commi ...
GermanyImproving road safety and reducing the number of road accidents, and thus the number of fatalities and injuries in this area, has been a key objective of the Federal Government for many years. Particularly at interfaces of different responsibilities in th ...
GermanyEMSec More than two-thirds of the world's total cargo is transported across the world's oceans. In addition, thanks to constantly growing offshore wind parks, energy supply is to be ensured without fossil fuels in future. The industries around t ...
GermanyMAR-SIMNET Major failures at sea are highly complex rescue operations. In the event of a damage, the coordination of the different rescue units plays a key role. The use of different ships of the sea rescue, various authorities as well as firefighting uni ...
GermanyVESUV A computer-assisted image recognition of a warning system in a vehicle has to react potentially much faster than a human being. Hence, there are clear consequences for the nature of the selection of concepts and procedures deployed for problem resol ...
