"After successfully completing the module, students will be able to: • identify latest developments in the field of transportation • identify requirements of practice and society for the engineering sector • understand the interactions between scientific development, practice and society • be involved in public debates on traffic engineering problems"

As part of the elective module 'Lecture Series: Future of Mobility` current issues of science and practice in the transport sector are presented. Often the topics addresses regional aspects in the field of transportation. But also international topics, which will be presented in English are in the focus of the different speakers. Each semester every presentation will be held on a specific framework topic. These framework topics deal with the following aspects of transport: • Mobility (e.g. mobility concepts of the different transport modes, electro mobility, public transport concepts, transport in Urban Areas) • Traffic Telematics (e.g. driver assistance systems, communication between vehicles and infrastructure, automated driving) • Financing concepts in transport (e.g. toll, Public Private Partnerships) • Environmental aspects of transport (e.g. sustainability, noise, pollutants) • Traffic safety • Freight traffic and logistics

The lectures consist of theoretical and practical knowledge, which is visualized in the form of pictures and charts using PPT presentations. During a public discussion at the end of the lecture contents of the presentation can be re-examined critically, which contributes to a better understanding of the content of the course.
