Chair of Transport Ecology
To achieve sustainable transportation development, the environmental impacts of transportation must be further reduced. The top priorities for research and teaching at the Chair are the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the reduction of other pollutants from transportation. At the same time, a high level of mobility is to be maintained. To this end, we focus primarily on the following areas of research:
- Climate-Friendly Mobility: What measures and transformation pathways are most effective in achieving a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions? What are the advantages, disadvantages, and interactions involved?
- Clean Transportation: What do motor vehicles emit on the road under real-world conditions? How effective are emission reduction measures? What is the proportion of high-emitting vehicles? To this end, we analyze remote sensing data from across Germany and Europe.
- The bicycle is a clean, climate-friendly, healthy, and inclusive mode of transportation. Our research analyzes behavior, the effectiveness of measures, and options for staying mobile.
We are continuously refining our approaches and welcome suggestions, collaborations, and new student and Research Associates.
Feel free to take a look at our current research projects or topic suggestions for student theses.
