The project RECREATE (REsearch on a CRuiser Enabled Air Transport Environment) is a part of the EU 7th Framework Programme and is conducted by nine European research institutes, universities and corporations. RECREATE explores new solutions for the civil air transportation in the future. The project is focusing on the introduction of cruiser-feeder operations and air-to-air […]
Autonomous vehicles are seen as a part of the future transportation and have the potential to improve traffic safety and to optimise driving behaviour. Autonomous vehicles were also identified as a relevant technology for the future by experts in the OPTIMISM project. Autonomous vehicles use cameras, sensors, radars and GPS devices for recognising their surroundings […]
Socio-economic factors such as income and age are influencing the travel behaviour and mobility patterns in Europe, which is also a central issue in the EU project METPEX. A case study from Switzerland was used in order to look at the influence of demographics on mobility patterns. As seen in the following figure, the Swiss […]
