Combined transport (CT) is an environmentally sensible and politically desired traffic, which is struggling with cost problems due to complicated supply chains. Previous innovations in CT have focused much on the development of new transhipment technologies. These innovations were very expensive and resulted in the medium term partly to a further increase in the cost of the supply chain. The intention of this study includes a redesign of the transport and business processes, the compatibility of interfaces (with orientation towards homogenization and standardization) for the individual actors and an adapted technological development of intermodal transport containers (containers, SAL, WAB). 06/2014

The study "INCOM-F" aimed to reduce the complexity between the actors (transport action and transport performance) of the freight mobility as well as to analyse its challenges (e.g. technical barriers as incompatible transport systems, lacking interoperability, different data formats etc.). The therefrom obtained results, allow the contracting entity to identify the most important actors and hence address promising RTI-topics in future national research calls. 07/2014

Social, economic and technological developments are placing increasingly more complex demands on the transport system and its capacity. New tech-nologies and innovations can significantly contribute to shaping sustainable mobility. They play an indispensable part in facing the major societal challenges such as climate change, scarcity of resources and demographic change and open up new economic opportunities for the transport sector, one of the most important economic branches in Austria Evelinde Grassegger, Andreas Dorda, Sarah Krautsack (BMVIT)

The proposed study analysed the impact of Industry 4.0 on the transport and logistics sector, also with regard to the foreign trade links of the Austrian economy. This analysis therefore offers a sound basis for the formulation of differentiated economic and transport policy recommendations as well as strategic recommendations. Mag.

Run off accidents with personal injuries are the second most frequent type of accidents on the ASFiNAG road network. Road Restraints are an important instrument to reduce accident severity. For that reason the efficiency of these systems was analysed, in order to insure an efficient road maintenance regarding infrastructure costs and to reduce furthermore the severity of these accidents.

The aim of the project is the coverage of rural and/or suburban regions with multimodal services, which are more attractive for customers and economically more efficient than conventional public transport, accessed by foot, bike&ride or park&ride, and at the same time ecologically and socially more sustainable, than the sole use of motorised individual transport.
