Abstract

In dem Beitrag geht es um aktuelle Trends und Herausforderungen der deutschen und europäischen Mobilitätsentwicklung. Hierzu zählen neben der Klima- und Energierelevanz des Verkehrs Themen wie soziale Differenzierung, demographischer Wandel und kulturelle Aspekte in ihrer Bedeutung für Mobilität und Verkehr aus einer sozialökologischen Perspektive. Es gibt Vorzeichen für einen möglichen Paradigmenwandel, der v.a. auf eine Dekarbonisierung des Verkehrs abhebt. Ein neues Leitbild einer multioptionalen, intermodalen Personenmobilität wird skizziert, das die Bedürfnisse einer sich weiter differenzierenden und pluralisierenden Gesellschaft aufgreift. Es basiert auf dem Rahmenkonzept "nachhaltige Mobilitätskultur" und auf drei Ebenen von Angeboten, die ein multioptionales Verkehrsangebot bilden. This article examines current trends and challenges of German and European mobility development. This includes besides climate and energy relevance of transport topics such as social differentiation, demographic change and cultural aspects, and looks at their significance for mobility and traffic from a socio-ecological perspective. There are signs for a possible change of paradigms which mainly emphasize the decarbonsation of transport. A new vision of a multioptional, intermodal mobility is sketched. It embraces the needs of a society that is taking on an ever more differentiated and pluralistic form. It bases on the framing concept of "sustainable mobility culture" and three levels within a transport system which form multi-optional transport products. Document type: Book

Abstract

Public transport is seen as a way to solve challenges in mobility. Increasing mobility demand, energy consumption"br" and GHG emissions as well as excessive costs could be addressed by resource efficient services as an alternative"br" to the private car. A precondition for this mode shift is a positive experience of passengers with public transport."br" A broad study carried out in cities across eight European countries plus the FIA network measured passengers’"br" experience based on interviews to understand which aspects contribute to satisfaction or dissatisfaction. To"br" understand the differing needs of passengers, we built a typology based on a cluster analysis leading to six groups"br" with specific characteristics. Working commuters appeared especially sensitive to reliable services and comfort"br" on their daily trips. Leisure travellers need orientation to reduce insecurity related to their occasional trips."br" Dissatisfaction with ticketing was an issue in all groups, and student commuters were critical in their assessments,"br" which puts transport providers at risk of losing their potential future customers at an early stage.
