EUFAL: Electric Urban Freight and Logistics
Although it is commonly believed that EVs are suited to perform last mile deliveries in particular in urban areas, only some companies make use of electric delivery vehicles. Up to now, electric vehicles have been considered as perfect substitutes of conventional vehicles. But there are problems which still need to be solved: difficulties to deal with the inter-day variability of tour-lengths, problems to integrate EVs into existing fleets and ...

EVer: Energy and Transport
In order to achieve Germany's environmental goals, major changes in the energy and transport sectors are required. In the energy sector, the switch to renewable electricity has already begun and significant progress has been made, although further development of renewables presents challenges. In contrast, the transport sector ...

„Ich entlaste Städte“: The German cargo cycle testing scheme for commercial and public users
Cities have to deal with high levels of traffic, which is partly due to an increase in delivery transport. These high levels of traffic result in emissions and congested streets, putting strain on both the environment and public health. Additionally, these transport-related problems ...

Move Urban: Flächeneffiziente Siedlungs- und Mobilitätskonzepte in wachsenden urbanen und neuen suburbanen Quartieren
Das Wachstum der Städte führt zu einem höheren Bedarf an Mobilitätsversorgung bei gleichzeitig zurückgehenden Flächenreserven. Die Lösung dieses Konflikts erfordert die Integration von Wohnungsbau-, Mobilitäts- und Logistikkonzepten als Bestandteil der flächensparsamen Planung neuer Stadtquartiere. Der Einsatz dieser Konzepte soll das Erreichen ökonomischer, ökologischer und sozialer Ziele unterstützen, indem insbesondere umweltverträgliche Alternativen zum motorisierten Individualverkehr Berücksichtigung finden.

Multi agent simulation for urban freight transport (Multi-Agent-City)
The project extends an existing MA framework for freight transport by modelling the demand side of the transport market, i.e. shippers and recipients as well as logistics service providers, in a detailed way. It will probably be the only existing freight demand model that includes several decision dimensions, makes use of complex optimisation, interacts with time-dependent traffic flows, and is available as an open source program that has been tested by various other researchers.

Site-selection tool for the expansion of infrastructure for alternative fuels (IAK)
Limited range, long charging time, and uncertainty in finding charging infrastructure nearby or during a trip are common reasons against purchasing an electric vehicle. This in turn leads to a low overall demand of these vehicles. Thus, charging infrastructure available nationwide and sufficiently dimensioned for each location is essential for successful market ramp-up of electric vehicles in Germany.
