11. Effectiveness: Does mobility provide Access ?
Affordability: How high is the Price for Access ?
vehicles, energy, time; comfort & safety; housing
infrastructure, management, regulation
Externalities: Who bears indirect costs ?
accidents, noise, toxic pollutions well-to-wheel
space-making, design, innovation
climate change
Carbon-friendly Mobility:

12. Batteries : what costs & externalities in the name of carbon-friendliness ?

13. Carbon-friendly nastiness
Great efficient and modular concept, in need of update

53. (1) How can private and public transport
providers work together in a more “positive”
manner in order to give travelers the best
possible mobility offers available?
(2) How could the solutions be better
adapted to actual user needs and wishes,
and how could we make the solutions more
attractive for the inhabitants?

• Public transport stops
• Electric car-sharing
system (for businesses
and public)
• 2-way chargers (vehicle-
building-grid)
• Electric city bikes
• Airport buses

Factors that influence acceptable walking distances:
• Good emotions and short distance perception
• Access to services along walking trips
• Footpath network
• Crossings trafficked streets
