Networks for Mobility
5th International Symposium
Stuttgart, Sept. 30-Oct. 01, 2010
"The Future of Mobility: Necessity, Affordability, and Implementation"
Solutions to most of the current and future transportation problems cannot be found within only one single mode of transportation or within one single discipline. On the contrary, improvements in the direction of sustainable mobility require close interaction between the different transportation modes as well as the integration of the planning, technical, and socioeconomic fields. The effects of political decisions, the interaction of supply and demand, as well as technical and planning possibilities lead to interdependencies that can only be treated in the scope of system approaches and network solutions.
We encounter networks and interdependencies in all fields of transportation and mobility: in transport infrastructure with the interaction of road, rail, land use, and open space; in telematics and road pricing with their demanding information processes; in combined passenger and freight transport linking road and rail; in public transport with the conflicting requirements of the passengers and operators; and in politics with the interaction of transportation, the environment, and society.
The symposium derives its name “NETWORKS FOR MOBILITY” from the network approach and is a forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of information and experiences from the various areas of transportation and related fields. The first four symposia (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008) have shown that bringing together representatives from various disciplines leads to new insights and new projects. The researchers and practitioners—from fields ranging from urban and regional planning, economics, and ecology, to transportation planning, traffic, and vehicle engineering—experience fruitful, multi-disciplinary exchanges, particularly due to the fact that methods of network analysis and modelling are very much interchangeable.
