Personal mobility in today's society is closely linked to socio-demographic, socio-economic and land use. Changes and developments in these areas must be fully considered in the design of future transport systems both to achieve a high level of user acceptance and to provide sustainable transport networks.

Particularly interesting are questions in the areas of age discrimination, social inclusion, equal opportunities and accessibility in transport, as well as mobility in rural areas. The research program line ways2go supports development of innovative transport technologies designed to address evolving mobility needs within the framework of the strategic initiative IV2Splus "Intelligent Transport Systems and Services plus" through funding R&D projects and measures that stimulate the development of new technologies and products.

Programme Line

The programme line ways2go is focused on the movement of persons and is geared towards developing a knowledge base of future mobility and transport issues. This knowledge base will be used to expand and develop innovative transport solutions that will form an essential contribution to the development of sustainable, demand-oriented transportation systems and mobility solutions. The following sections describe a progressive, interdisciplinary and integrated research approach that will be used to successfully complete this ambitious program.

Ways2go - Interim Innovation Report - Executive Summary

In the course of three programme calls for proposals between 2008 and 2010 251 project proposals with a total project volume of 54 million Euro were submitted by more than 800 organisations. 97 projects with a project volume of around 21 million Euro, submitted by more than 350 organisations, were selected for funding (funding volume of approx. 15.5 million Euro).

By means of a systematic analysis, the innovation impacts of the programme in the relevant thematic fields were presented in the form of an „interim innovation report“ and discussed and/or reflected upon by experts.
