Societal Trends Influencing Mobility and Logistics in Europe: A Comprehensive Analysis
Book Contribution - Chapter
The objective of this paper is to establish a comprehensive view of societal
trends that have an impact on mobility and logistics in the future. Based on a review of scientific literature, the output of European research projects and reports from consultancies, the result of this investigation provides a broad and comprehensive set of factors that influence, and will influence in the future, mobility and logistics. The set is composed of 29 trends organised under 9 larger categories covering economic issues, societal issues, urbanisation, the environment, the digital society, new business models, safety, security and the legislative framework. The present analysis has greatly benefited from the concept of liquid modernity developed by Bauman that value of this contribution is its systematic approach allowing to describe this complex topic in an exhaustive manner while focussing on links and dependencies enabled a broad and complete view on the dynamics of society and mobility. It allows describing linkages between social and economic trends, and between society and technology, especially information and communication technology. Thus, the added value of this contribution is its systematic approach allowing to describe this complex topic in an exhaustive manner while focussing on links and dependencies.
