InfraDem

THE INTEGRATIVE INFRADEM PROJECT HAS THE TASK OF EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE ON INFRASTRUCTURE DEMANDS IN THE TRANSPORT, ENERGY AND WATER SECTORS. ITS PURPOSE IS TO DEVELOP ANALYTICAL TOOLS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION PLANS FOR NETWORK-RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE. IN ADDITION TO THE NATION-WIDE OVERVIEW, TWO SAMPLE REGIONS HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED IN GREATER DETAIL. THE PROJECT HAS ALSO COMMITTED ITSELF TO EVALUATING THE VARIOUS DIRECTIONS IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT WITH REGARD TO SUSTAINABILITY. THE PARTICULAR AIM OF THE DLR INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORT RESEARCH IS TO ASCERTAIN THE FUTURE DEMAND ON TRANSPORT UNDER CHANGING FRAMEWORK CONDITIONS. BY ANALYZING THE EFFECTS OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES ON MOBILITY BEHAVIOR, WE AIM TO DETERMINE THE DIFFERENCES IN DEMAND ACCORDING TO REGION AND CALCULATE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS. DIFFERENT REACTIONS AND STRATEGIES WILL BE EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS.
