Challenges for mobility and traffic in the

21st century:

� Climate change and extreme weather

events

� Environmentally sound development of

traffic and traffic infrastructure

� Energy transition and digitalisation

� Aging infrastructure

� Increasing economic interdependency

and steadily growing mobility

requirements

A resilient and environmental sound

traffic system needs an

interdisciplinary

and inter-modal approach

The BMVI-Network of Experts is a

new format in public authority
