Progress in Sustainable Mobility Research

This book explores innovative strategies for addressing mobility needs in rural areas, emphasizing sustainable solutions and community involvement. Progress in Sustainable Mobility Research provides valuable insights.

This book presents the outcomes of the trans- and interdisciplinary research project NEMo (Nachhaltige Erfüllung von Mobilitätsbedürfnissen im ländlichen Raum - Sustainable Fulfilment of Mobility Needs in Rural Areas). The project addresses the challenges faced by rural districts and communities in maintaining essential public transport services such as bus and train transit amidst demographic changes. These challenges include ensuring social participation, fostering regional value creation, and achieving environmental protection goals. With the demand for mobility in rural areas expected to rise, particularly due to the concentration of medical care facilities and shopping centers near urban areas, innovative solutions are urgently needed.

Focusing on the development of sustainable and innovative mobility services and business models, Progress in Sustainable Mobility Research explains how new mobility offerings can empower citizens to become mobility providers themselves. The book combines insights from various research groups and incorporates external contributions from both academia and practical applications, creating a comprehensive understanding of the subject. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between different stakeholders to create effective and sustainable mobility solutions.

Through its detailed analysis and practical recommendations, this book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners interested in enhancing mobility in rural areas. The findings presented in Progress in Sustainable Mobility Research aim to inspire further research and implementation of sustainable mobility strategies that meet the evolving needs of rural communities.
