After completing this module, students are able to

• outline why mobility occurs and to identify problems in existing mobility systems of the world
• describe future mobility concepts with their specific challenges and chances
• explain energy efficient mobility concepts and compare technologies for traction: battery electric vehicle (BEV), all types of hybrid driven vehicles (HEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and internal combustion engines with its CO2 neutral fuels like eFuels and H2
• describe different needs for mobility and specific aspects (logistics, micro and active mobility, inclusive mobility, etc.)
• describe goals of transport policies and planning concepts
• develop a basic concept for a mobility master plan
