Transport is socially too important to be judged solely in technocratic terms - but it helps to look at facts to avoid misjudgements.
My background is in regional science. Because it has a lot to do with spatial interdependencies, one quickly ends up with transport. Analysing transport linkages, their causes, effects and developments was the speciality from which everything else developed: mobility research, transport modelling, transport forecasts, evaluation of transport projects and alternative solutions, federal transport route planning.
I have played a major role in shaping all “binding” nationwide analyses of source-destination traffic flows and traffic interrelationship forecasts since the end of the 1980s, linking traffic models with empirical data, most recently mobile phone data. And I still feel “the respect for the numerical, for the calculation result”, which must always be questioned again, despite all the good traffic models and data bases.
