Die Digitalisierung im Verkehr - verstanden als Herstellung von Verfügbarkeit und Zugang zu Mobilitätsangeboten über digitale Anwendungen, die Ermöglichung neuer Geschäftsmodelle bis hin zur vollständigen Automatisierung und Vernetzung von Fahrzeugen - weckt hohe Erwartungen. Dies gilt auch und insbesondere mit Blick auf die Potenziale einer Digitalisierung im Verkehr, zum Klimaschutz und einer nachhaltigen Ausgestaltung des Verkehrs beizutragen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht anhand identifizierter Entwicklungslinien und Anwendungsfälle der Digitalisierung im Verkehr Regelungsansätze und -konzepte, die der Realisierung einer ökologisch nachhaltigen Mobilität dienen. Durch das fortentwickelte automatisierte Fahren sind erhebliche Auswirkungen zu erwarten. Die sich daraus ergebenden Risiken und Chancen für die ökologisch nachhaltige Entwicklung des Verkehrs und die Möglichkeiten der öffentlichen Hand, diese Entwicklung im Sinne einer ökologisch nachhaltigen Entwicklung – unter Berücksichtigung von Mobilität, Klimaschutz, Energieeffizienz, Verkehrssicherheit, Gesundheitsschutz sowie Reduktion des Flächen- und Ressourcenverbrauchs – zu lenken, stehen im Mittelpunkt der Studie. Untersucht werden die jeweiligen Entwicklungen in den "Teilsystemen" der physischen und digitalen Infrastruktur, des motorisierten Individualverkehrs, des öffentlichen Personenverkehrs und des Güterverkehrs. Ergebnis der Studie ist eine gesamthafte Darstellung der zur Regulierung der Digitalisierung im Verkehr und insbesondere des automatisierten und vernetzten Fahrens erforderlichen Maßnahmen mit Fokus auf ihrer Zielrichtung und in ihrem Zusammenwirken (regulativer Gesamtrahmen).

This book explores the emerging politics of Eurasia from the vantage point of Kazakhstan. Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine in February 2022 has led to the end of the post-Cold War paradigm of liberal convergence and has triggered a geopolitical shift that will lead to the establishment of a renewed bipolar world order. However, if Russia is responsible for that shift, it will most likely not be the power that will be the leading force of the anti-Western bloc. The leading force of this emerging bloc will rather be China to which Russia is inevitably destined to be relegated as a junior partner in Beijing's geopolitical orbit. This book, analyzing the geopolitics of a changing region, will interest scholars of international relations, Eurasia, and the economics of energy.

The book conducts a comprehensive research study on China's urbanization. It puts forward three theoretical development models of urban planning in China, i.e., the politics-oriented city, the economy-oriented city and the human-oriented cultural city. It makes objective evaluations of the development models of the politics-oriented city and the economy-oriented city. It suggests that relations between the government and the market should be straightened out to solve the hangovers of the development model of the politics-oriented city, and eco-civilization development and cultural development should be put on the top of the government's agenda in order to cope with the recurring problems and complications brought about by the development model of the economy-oriented city
