Integrated Transport Planning

Über das Fachgebiet

The Chair of Integrated Transport Planning researches overarching aspects of transport and their interrelationships with environmental, technical, social, political, and economic issues. Mobility and transport determine both spatial supply options and social participation and are thus a fundamental task of public services. Accordingly, we are concerned with the development of concepts for the design of a mobility that sustainably shapes economic cycles and social participation while reducing traffic. We are an interdisciplinary team of experts from transport, social, and spatial science who aim to design the future of our society in a way that is both sustainable and human-centered.

Our areas of interest

Mobility

Unlike transport, mobility describes people's subjective realm of possibilities and thus opens up entirely new perspectives on the design of space and transport. At the same time, this expanded scope for action is accompanied by new requirements that must be taken into account for a goal-oriented design of mobility. The Chair of Integrated Transport Planning draws on decades of experience in mobility research to help stakeholders better understand and shape mobility.

People

Transport and mobility are fundamentally defined by people. Our actions, routines, and perceptions determine when, how, and where transport takes place. As such, people must be at the center of all concepts and strategies aiming to sustainably change transport or mobility. This requires an in-depth understanding of qualitative social research methods which explicitly focus on people and their needs. We are continually developing this in our teaching and research.

Strategies

Changes to infrastructures, transport processes, or mobility routines always occur over long periods of time. In order to design these changes within the framework of integrated transport planning, concrete strategies are needed which integrate mobility and people early on. These mobility strategies help actors to achieve social policies both effectively and efficiently. The Chair of Integrated Transport Planning has extensive experience here, particularly in the implementation of participatory strategy development.
