Society's need for greater mobility poses a variety of challenges for existing transport infrastructures and requires innovations and the further development of the regulatory framework.We provide economic advice related to questions of regulation and competition in rail, road and aviation.

Price and access regulation: Determination of track access charges, airport charges and environmental charges, determination of capital cost rates, implementation of efficiency incentives for operators.

Impact assessments: impact of new technologies and regulations, promotion of electromobility

Demand modeling: Future demand forecasts, influence of shared economy, calculation of sustainable infrastructure investments and their financing
