Project 4: Energy-efficient and networked routing in urban areas

In modern societies exists due to the spatial separation of work place, housing and recreation areas a basic need for mobility. Especially in urban areas due to plurality of available mobility providers a constant change takes place in recent years. The portion of motorized individual traffic in the complete volume of traffic decreased in most German major cities since the end of the 1990s, yet the automobile rates still today as primary mean of transport. The core questions of the automobile research area with energetic relation is - separated from the questions of costs and emission - the mobility-demand-dependent choice of energy-form and driving units. In the light of current debates about energy-turnaround, energy-politics but also about energy-prices and emission, this leads to the future need a more difficile on-board and especially comprehensive off-board networking energy- and information-management. Primary objectives are to avoid unnecessary use of energy and to efficiently use the selected form of energy in order to contribute to the energy-turnaround also by the mobility-sector.
