Summary
New Quality of the Public Transit in Kassel
Quality, image and attractiveness play a decisive role for the use of the public transit. In Kassel, the clients´ interests are taken into account in the fields of infrastructure, vehicles and service to the client. Dissatisfaction influences the demand. Since 1997, the KVG carries out surveys in order to analyze the passengers´ expectations and satisfaction. The results are taken into account for the further services and the employees´ qualification.

Konzept für den Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis
Summary
Decentralized Mobility Network
Structures of settlement and mobility outside the conurbations as well as the rapid development of information on the basis of telecommunications necessitate an integration of the local, personnally accessible offices (of information) for the citizens into a decentralized mobility network instead of central offices of mobility on the level of the district and, as for the information via telephone or internet, to make use of the accessible supraregional services.

Summary
For a Better Orientation towards the Clients
Besides an adaptation of costs and structure, the orientation towards the clients belongs to the strategy of the tramway company in Stuttgart (SSB) to prepare itself for the future competition on the public transit market. In this context, it is important to make the orientation towards the clients a matter of each employee. The SSB has opted for a method wich is a novelty for the public transit: the method of educational maps.

Dezentrale Instandhaltungskonzepte für den regionalisierten SPNV ►
Hoher Kundennutzen, flexibel und wirtschaftlich
Summary
New Conceptions of Services
The liberalization and regionalization of the rail local traffic have created new requirements and fundamental conditions for the technical services of rail vehicles. Centralized and internal auxiliary processes have become autonomous service products offered in a decentralized way. They are without preference at the disposition of all applicants and thus reduce the obstacles of access to the market. This encourages the competition and is therefore to the benefit of the transport enterprises and transport operators.

Summary
New Rail Vehicles
On the occassion of the international rail fair Innotrans, which will take place from 12th to 15th September in Berlin, the author sketches the development of light regional motor cars for the local rail traffic from the basic idea to the vehicles of the second generation. The second part deals with the creation of locomotive pools which enables above all smaller freight railways to use modern locomotives on economically acceptable conditions.

Wirkung von Maßnahmen für nachhaltigen Verkehr und ihre europaweite Übertragbarkeit
Summary
Legal and Regulatory Measures for Sustainable Urban Transport
LEDA is a recently finished RTD project commissioned by the EC. Research was carried out into some 200 legal and regulatory measures and their effectiveness in promoting safer and more environmentally friendly travel patterns in 40 European cities. The project demonstrates that the major barriers to transferability of effective measures lies to a great extent in a lack of political will and public acceptance, rather than in the differing legal and administrative frameworks across Europe.

Summary
Optimization of Route Choice Models for Public Transport
For a traffic forecast model sensitive to transport policies and infrastructure measure, a realistic representation of the status-quo situation is an essential prerequisite. Apart from the traffic supply, algorithms for the route choice model and the calibration of the origin-destination matrix are important parameters when simulating the public transport side. The article presents how to achieve a sufficient accuracy of the traffic assignment with additional extensions of route-choice model and matrix calibration methods.

Park-and-Ride: Attraktiv und einfach ►
Reduzierte Stellplatzabmessungen reichen aus
Summary
Park-and-Ride: Attractive and simple
Park-and-Ride combines the advantages of the automobile in the rural area and the
public transport in the city. However, often the offer does not live up to the demand. As an argument against an extension, the necessary financial expenditure is frequently named. This article will show how a sufficient park-and-ride system can be offered also under difficult basic conditions: inexpensively through reduced measurements of parking lots, attractively through a standardised provisioning and findable through clear signposting.

Orts-, Stadt- und Citybussysteme im bundesweiten Vergleich
Summary
What makes town bus systems successful?
The number of small town bus systems is still increasing. But when local politicians have to decide about spending (more) money on the bus, they often have difficulties to quantify of the costs and the success of the system. The decision would be easier if there was a possibility to compare the own system with some others. The ÑOSCì-Study shows various numbers of nearly one hundred small town bus systems and explains some factors which may lead to more passengers and less costs.

Analyse des Wettbewerbs um SPNV-Leistungen in Deutschland ►
Die DB liegt gut im Rennen - Private weniger erfolgreich
Summary
Analysis of the Competition for Regional Rail Passenger Services in Germany
The article investigates the intensity of competition for regional rail passenger services in Germany from 1996 to 1999 using data mainly provided by the so-called Aufgabenträger. It finds that with competition being fairly rare the amount of tendered services even declined in recent years. State-owned carrier DB AG could win more than half of the tendered services followed by DEGV. Despite of DEGV representing DB AGís strongest rival, private companies have played a minor role in this game up to now. Accomplished reduction of subsidies and improved service quality respectively provide an indication of the potential for enhancing efficiency in this market.

Outline conditions for rail public transport in terms of traffic policy, law on competition, and finances are experiencing an accelerated change, showing in the more service-oriented character of transport offers and thus their quality and customer-friendliness. By aiming to ensure the quality of services in transport contracts. The instruments were created to value the supplied quality in terms of money and, in connection with agreed quality standards, to ensure that the quality level of the offer is acceptable to customers.

Risikomanagement und Frühwarnung in der kommunalen Verkehrswirtschaft ►
Aufbau von Frühwarnsystemen schärft Risikobewusstsein
Summary
Risk management and Early Warning in the Municipal Transport Economy
Due to statutory regulations and a highly competitive business environment municipal transport businesses are forced to deal with risk management and early warning systems more than ever before. The implementation of the legal obligation is unsatisfactory in many companies. Early warning is to be seen as the core of a risk management system.
