This book is a valuable resource for companies in the transport sector, political decision-makers, transport engineers, planners, and scientists engaged in fundamental research who are facing increasingly complex challenges in the field. These challenges stem from a multitude of powerful socio-technical trends, including digitalization, globalization, urbanization, and the ever-growing demands of individual users, as well as the urgent need to minimize the environmental impact of transportation. Meeting these challenges requires the development of innovative solutions that are not easily achievable.

Towards Innovative Transport Systems: Structures and Compiles Theoretical Foundations from Evolutionary Economics, the Sociology of Technology, and Innovation Research in a Way That Provides a Broad Understanding of Innovation Processes without Demanding Prior Knowledge. Using the Concept of Transport System Evolution (CTSE), it delves into the economics of innovation in the transport sector, providing a comprehensive context for the processes, drivers, and obstacles at play in current practice. Among these processes are the transition to electric mobility, the realization of autonomous cars, the revival of railways through innovations, and the management of disruptive innovations in transportation. The CTSE is an approach to bringing the multi-level perspective for the transport sector introduced by Frank Geels to life. Based on the CTSE, the author presents principles for a novel innovation policy in transport that can serve as a guide for readers when making strategic decisions.
