The Research Programme Urban Transport (FoPS) is a funding programme of the Federal Ministry for Transport and Digital Infrastructures (BMVI) for improving transportation conditions in communities.
Large public organisations tend to create a huge amount of knowledge through commissioned research studies. However, making use of this knowledge often is difficult as technical or scientific reports may be voluminous and/or difficult to digest for non-expert readers.
As mobility is an important part of our life, and the interconnectedness of the economy leads to more and more transport, we expect to see significant growth in freight as well as in passenger transport in the future. Forecasts predict that the global vehicle population – currently about 1.2 billion
Modern technologies must be adapted to meet the needs of people, both young and old. This is why the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the “Bringing technology to the people” research programme on human-machine interaction. The "Bringing technology to the people" research
Mobility and transport together represent a central socio-political issue in today's world. Mobility is a fundamental need in modern society - a prerequisite for economic success, social prosperity, and general satisfaction of all actors in society. Guaranteeing mobility in the future requires
Efficient mobility and traffic management systems rely on telematic-based information and control functionalities. Mobility services using current (real-time) traffic data and traffic forecasts are being developed which offer travellers options with respect to route and means of transportation. A
Leisure related transport and the associated impacts on traffic were often seen as being of a disperse, statistically random nature. Therefore, only limited research efforts were made and it was rarely considered in the planning phase of transport systems. On the other hand, up to 50% of all
