    Evaluation "Leezenflow"

    Das·Projekt „ Leezenflow" soll die Radfahrqualität vor den Ampeln in-Münster steigern. Das Leezenflow-System ist als Grüne-Welle-Assistent konzipiert, der den Radfahrer*innen in Münster durch dynamische LED-Anzeigen anzeigt, wie lange die aktuelle Ampelphase noch dauern wird. Dies soll dazu führen, dass möglichst wenig Radfahrer*innen vor roten Ampeln stehen müssen. Stattdessen sollen die Radfahrer*innen durch geringfügige, individuelle Geschwindigkeitsanpassungen im „Flow" bleiben können. Ob die anvisierten Auswirkungen auf den Radverkehrsfluss tatsächlich realisiert werden können und inwiefern die Verkehrssicherheit durch das Leezenflow-System beeinflusst

    Electric Vehicle Transition and Road Transport Levies: Forecasts and Strategies

     

    Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are increasingly replacing combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) – but what does this mean for public revenues? In their new article "Antriebswende und Straßenverkehrsabgaben: Prognosen und Strategien" (Electric Vehicle Transition and Road Transport Levies: Forecasts and Strategies), Maria Kennel, Gernot Sieg, and Berthold Wigger examine the impact of the electric vehicle transition on public revenues from motorized individual transport in Germany (currently around 51.2 billion euros per year). Since the energy tax does not apply to BEV, revenues could halve by 2050 without policy intervention. Using a dynamic simulation model, the authors compare five policy instruments to offset the revenue gap. Published in the ORDO Yearbook. Link to Article.
