Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) provide the opportunity to increase road safety and driving comfort. Reviewing existing empirical work on comparable innovations, Patrick Planing derives potential acceptance constructs, which together with the results of thirty-two semi-structured interviews, have constituted the basis for a survey instrument that was consequently administered to a sample of over 400 participants from the target population. The resulting regression model shows that perceived safety and comfort benefits are most decisive for the acceptance of ADAS, while desire to exert control was found to most strongly support resistance to this technology.

Das Thema Urbane Mobilitat rangiert sehr hoch in nahezu allen Gesellschaftsbereichen. So ist es nicht zwingend ein alleiniges Automobilthema, sondern betrifft Branchen wie Immobilien, Handel, Hospitality, Energie und Finanzen. Die Coronakrise hat nochmals unterstrichen, wie wichtig Mobilitat im Sinne von Logistik und Fortbewegung fur den wirtschaftlichen Wachstumsgedanken ist. Mobilitat im Sinne von geistiger Beweglichkeit stellt einen wichtigen Kulturfaktor dar, Mobilitat als Synonym fur Freiheit. Das vorliegende Buch fokussiert Urbane Mobilitat unter den Gesichtspunkten Technologie, neue Lebensformen, neue Wirtschaftssysteme und Gesellschaft. Mobilitat muss nicht nur branchenubergreifend neu gedacht, sondern als ein kultureller Veranderungsprozess in seiner Gesamtheit verstanden werden. Urbane Mobilitat vereint Themenwelten von Generationenkonflikt, uber Nachhaltigkeit und Klimawandel bis hin zu einem neuen Politikverstandnis. Unterstutzt wird die Diskussion durch Beitrage von Experten aus unterschiedlichsten Branchen.

This book presents human-centered concepts and solutions for mobility, logistics and infrastructure that will make our growing metropolitan areas more livable and sustainable.The still accelerating megatrend of urbanization is leading to constantly growing metropolitan areas. This creates a whole series of challenges for municipalities, as well as citizens, such as overcrowded traffic routes, limited building space and an increasingly difficult supply situation. With this book we want to answer the following question: How can people live in densely populated areas and meet their needs in terms of mobility, freedom, self-determination, security, prosperity, communication or in other words: how can metropolitan regions be made humane? The answer to this question requires innovative ideas and approaches in various areas: Sustainable designs of infrastructure Economically and ecologically efficient logistics and mobility approaches Intelligent applications for navigation and communication All these ideas must be measured against the needs of citizens and should thus be developed following a human-centered design approach. This ensures that innovative solutions will be widely accepted by the public. In addition, they also have the potential to turn citizens into active co-designers of future metropolitan areas.
