Abstract

Motivated by the ongoing urbanization megatrend, a vision for future urban mobility can be derived from the main problems like space scarcity, congestion, vehicle emissions and road safety, which most major cities have in common. Urban transportation planning shifts the priority from maintaining free flowing traffic towards facilitating access to destinations. Instead of improving conditions for car travel, e.g. by providing more lanes, the Avoid-Shift-Improve (A-S-I) [1] approach first seeks to reduce the need for travel, then promotes shifting trips towards non-car modes like public transit, bicycle or walking, and considers measures which improve efficiency within the modes, i.e. electrification.
