Prüfungsteilnehmer A

the image depicting women commuting between multiple places, including the park, child care, school, leisure activities, shopping, and paid work
while men primarily travel between home, work, shopping, and leisure, sheds light on gender differences in mobility patterns
the material suggests that women often have more diverse mobility needs, involving multiple destinations beyond work
when planning regional projects, it is important to take into account the specific needs of the different genders and to ensure that transport offers meet their different mobility patterns
regional projects should focus on promoting multimodal transportation options $\rightarrow$ integrates different modes of transportation such as walking, biking, public transit, and shared mobility services
improving public transportation networks is essential for adapting to different mobility patterns
expansion and improvement of public transit (focus on frequency, reliability, and accessibility) provide for greater reliability and use within society
prioritize implementation of safety measures such as well-lit pedestrian and bicycle paths, safe parking, and effective surveillance systems

Prüfungsteilnehmer B

the material you provided highlights the unequal conditions and challenges faced by goods trains compared to trucks in the context of regional mobility
the image depicting a truck and a train traveling in the same direction reveals disparities in the ease of movement and regulatory conditions between these modes of transportation
regional projects should aim to create efficient and seamless connections between different modes of transportation, including rail, road, and possibly waterways
create a level playing field and ensure fair competition
focus on harmonizing regulations for cross-border train traffic, simplifying administrative procedures, and reducing obstacles that impede smooth train movement, such as changing track gauges
regional projects should prioritize the development and maintenance of rail infrastructure, including tracks, terminals, and signaling systems
the environmental benefits of rail freight, such as reducing carbon emissions and congestion should be emphasized

Truck vs. goods train

Prüfungsteilnehmer C

the illustration in the material shows city maps - one symbolizes the transport infrastructures of the present and one those of the future
at the present time, cities have a high traffic load, bicycle lanes are rare
the idea of the future is less traffic in cities, a bigger public transport network and a better passage for e.g. emergency vehicles
this version of the future would not only provide a better CO2 balance, but also a greater sense of security within society
in order to realize this, however, individuals will have to make sacrifices and resort to, for example, shared or public transport
