Abstract

It is everybody’s right to be mobile. The current status quo is in flux as a greater demand on mobility and transport driven resolutions have emerged through established and new actors on the scene. Insights into mobility provisioning, mobility preservation and safe travel and sustainable offerings will be given throughout this chapter. Today, public and private actors are confronted with decisions about investment and infrastructure efforts that define the maneuverable space for tomorrow. Therefore insights into key parameters and measurements are being introduced, too. Those concern both individual and cargo transport needs. You will also find insights into traffic management systems and technological trends such as the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.
