Singapore’s Vision for Future Mobility (by Loh Ngai Seng)

This could be the traffic architecture of the modern city of the future: Transport routes – for example for autonomous vehicles – at different levels underground ensure safety, efficiency and quality of life.
This could be the traffic architecture of the modern city of the future: Transport routes – for example for autonomous vehicles – at different levels underground ensure safety, efficiency and quality of life.

The prosperity of a city is inextricably linked to the quality of its transport system. Good road networks facilitate the flow of goods and services, spurring economic growth. Increasingly, however, cities have become a victim of their own success. Intense urbanisation has resulted in congestion and pollution, stressing both commuters and infrastructure. Land-scarce Singapore is cognisant of these challenges. With 12% of our land already used for roads, it is critical for us to shape mobility in ways that enable our citizens to enjoy a better quality of life whilst optimising space and resources.Continue reading

HOW ONE CITY IS DRIVING INTO THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY

Singapore develops groundbreaking testing standards for autonomous electric cars.
Singapore develops groundbreaking testing standards for autonomous electric cars.

Writing emails, reading the newspaper and watching movies will be part of everyday car journeys in the future. The vehicles of tomorrow will be self-driving – no human driver will wield the controls, but instead a computer will change gears, steer, brake and accelerate. The benefits will be fewer accidents and traffic jams and safer driving. While many of today’s manufacturers already offer assistance systems that manage the car in an increasing number of road situations, the era of fully autonomous cars is still some way up the road. And this is where Singapore is currently setting new standards. With an area of just 719 km² inhabited by 5.6 million people, Singapore must set high requirements of any driverless vehicles operating within its densely populated urban environment. Mastery of these requirements will have applications far beyond its shores.Continue reading

Growing commuter traffic in cities calls for innovative solutions

“Living test-lab” Singapore: Comfortable and flexible autonomous driving services of the future make the private car superfluous

Never before have there been so many commuters in Germany as today. The most recent Aral study (2018) shows that 72 percent of German employees now commute by car from home to work either always (59%) or mostly (13%). However, this preference for one’s own car is increasingly pushing all the major cities to their capacity limits. Traffic data provider Inrix found that Berlin drivers, for example, spent an average of 154 hours on congested roads in 2018. An unparalleled waste of time and resources – and also a great burden on the environment. New solutions for future-oriented commuter mobility are in demand – not only in Germany, but worldwide. After all, the metropolises of other countries are also struggling with the problem of traffic congestion.Continue reading

DAY OF THE STRATEGISTS

Prof. Dr. Stephan Rammler, Scientific Director of the Institute for Future Studies and Technology Assessment (IZT) in Berlin and Professor of Transportation Design at the HBK Braunschweig

Should Germans say farewell in their heads and hearts to the cars they love so dearly? Mobility researcher and futurologist Stephan Rammler certainly thinks so. „When people started using cars, fossil-fuel propulsion was a very good idea,” he said, “But now things have changed.“
