Driverless vehicles have attracted much public attention in recent years and have come to the forefront of mobility research.

The now published conference volume "Driving without a Driver" by Uwe Kischel and IKEM Director Prof. Dr. Michael Rodi examines regulatory approaches to the integration of autonomous vehicles into the legal system from a comparative law perspective.

The conference volume is now available and can also be ordered as an e-book!

Overhead lines on highways are a promising approach to decarbonise heavy freight traffic. In a new study, IKEM has examined the legal framework with regard to the billing of energy consumption and the integration of overhead line trucks into the energy market.

"Our study finds that electric road systems on highways form a new net sector that requires its own market regulation, depending on the market phase. Here, the legislator would have to take action as far as a market ramp-up of the technology is to take place," says Giverny Knezevic, study author and research associate in the IKEM Mobility Department.

Mark your calendars for the IKEM Annual Conference, scheduled for 19 October 2023, starting at 5 p.m. We invite you to join us and esteemed experts in deliberating strategies for decarbonising road freight transport. Secure your spot by registering via our online form. Participation is free of charge.
