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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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- ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
GermanyPiraT German shipping companies use most container carriers worldwide- and complain about the highest number of pirate attacks. But not only container ships are threatened. Passenger ships are also the target of piracy. Furthermore, the danger of maritime ...
