On-demand mobility meets scheduled services
Dr. A. Becker, M. Wurm
The mobility market is changing constantly: The drivers of these dynamic changes are among other things, digitisation and individualisation as well as the increased use of data.

Mobility between effectiveness and efficiency
Don’t worry, in this article we will not refresh the basics of business studies again.

With digital solutions towards profitable public transport
Mobility is often still a resource-intensive undertaking – in every respect: Too many cars on the road cause a high level of environmental pollution, loosely set timetables mean an immense loss of time and excessively large containers and empty runs – especially in rural areas and at off-peak times – take their financial toll.
Corona crisis: A gamechanger during climate change?
Better air, blue skies and significantly fewer vehicles on the roads: The Corona crisis has given our planet a little well-earned rest. This is because of the positive effects in terms of lower CO2 emissions during the pandemic. A recent study shows that the restrictions on public life have also reduced global emission numbers drastically.
