Sehr geehrte Lesende
Mobilität und Transport-Infrastruktur begegnet uns jeden Tag. Wir stellen uns die Zukunft velozentriert vor, finden eine Revolution im Bahnverkehr sei unwahrscheinlich und testen den Stress, den auch Transportsysteme manchmal haben.
Wir wünschen viel informatives Lesevergnügen!
![Dynamic allocation of urban road space based on the bi-modal (motorized vehicles and bicycles) daily traffic pattern [source- mattership.io]](https://www.nsl.ethz.ch/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Dynamic-allocation-of-urban-road-space-based-on-the-bi-modal-motorized-vehicles-and-bicycles-daily-traffic-pattern-source-mattership.io_-760x475.jpg)
Allocating dedicated road space to slow modes is considered an effective way toward a radical modal shift. By exploiting traffic flow theoretical knowledge, convenient models can be developed to help evaluate the influence of such a large-scale transformation on network traffic performance. Novel strategies for bi-modal urban traffic management can also be proposed to solve congestion.
Many aspects contribute to the further development of the technologies, but no single game changer could be identified. Developments are expected in automation; revolutionary changes are perceived as unlikely.
Transportation systems are vital for economic and social development, yet are susceptible to disruptions caused by natural hazards, especially considering the adverse impacts of climate change on increasing the intensity of frequency of climatic hazards. To manage these risks effectively, stress testing, as a diagnostic tool, has shown promise.
Der Verkehr auf ländlichen Strassen ausserhalb der Städte kann erhebliche negative Auswirkungen auf die Ökologie und Umwelt von Natur- und Agrarlandschaften haben. Der Umfang dieser Auswirkungen kann jedoch nicht bestimmt werden, da in vielen Ländern keine Daten zum Verkehrsvolumen auf ländlichen Strassen verfügbar sind. Deshalb haben wir einen Datensatz zum ländlichen Strassenverkehr auf allen wichtigen ländlichen Strassen für mehrere Zeitschritte entwickelt.
Damian Jerjen is currently Director of the Swiss association for spatial planning EspaceSuisse and Lecturer at ETH Zurich and other Swiss universities. He is an economist and spatial planner. He serves on various bodies, including the Council for Spatial Planning (ROR). At EspaceSuisse, he supports and brings together spatial planning experts throughout Switzerland, and is active in the Spatial Planning Network. He has a thorough knowledge of ETH Zurich, both as a lecturer and as a member of the Advisory Board for the Master of Advanced Studies in Spatial Planning. He will continue to participate in curriculum development for the Master’s course. Start: April 2024.
On-Board Monitoring techniques, defined as using commercial trains to monitor the track status, have garnered much attention recently. While data come in relatively low quality, OBM is a low-cost and efficient alternative to traditional monitoring methods. Thus, funded by the ETH Mobility Initiative project OMISM, this study checks the viability of applying such data in several prediction models.

Growing urban population and contemporary urban systems lock-in unsustainable urban development pathways, deteriorating the living quality of urban dwellers. The systemic complexity of these challenges renders it difficult to find solutions using existing planning processes.
Public participation in local development is an integral part of democratic agendas across the world. Yet not much research specifically focuses on people’s perspectives of participation, especially among underprivileged populations.
Recently, efforts have been made to standardize signal phase and timing (SPaT) messages. These messages contain signal phase timings of all signalized intersection approaches.
Explaining train delay propagation using influence factors (to find the determinants) is essential for transport planning and train operation management.

Today’s design reflects a car-oriented consensus, which was formulated between the 1930’s and 1950’s and adopted around the world since then. The climate crisis challenges this orientation and asks for designs that emphasize micro-mobility. The three days between September 4th and 6th bring together experts, students, and the general public to think about how such a future could look. Talks, discussions, and interactive workshops offer the chance to learn together how to overcome the hurdles facing a climate-friendly environment.
26-28 February 2025, ETH Zürich Hönggerberg and Zentrum.
The colloquium will investigate the relationship between the design and maintenance of living systems, seeking to cultivate practices, terminology, and theoretical insights into approaches that attempt to maintain otherwise.
