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

The research programme 'Urban Transport' (FOPS) is an initiative dedicated to improving short-distance traffic conditions in municipalities and also rural areas. FOPS is funded with resources from the 'Local Authority Traffic Financing Act' (approximately EUR 3.6 million annually). The programme

Four major themes for the future development of cities, conurbations and regions have been identified: identity; integration; regionalisation; and shrinking of cities and regions.

Under the Decision of 7 December 2007 the European Commission approved the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 2007-2013. It is a culmination of many months of work on preparing the largest programme in the history of the European Union. The amount of EU funds involved in its

In 2009 the German government announced the goal to have one million electric vehicles, including battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) passenger and goods livery vehicles on German roads by 2020. To promote experience and testing of various vehice-, infrastructure- and application
