Abstract (ENG): China is the world’s largest and fastest growing market for e-mobility. In order to create a deeper understanding of smart city concepts, databased traffic optimization models, their efficiency and environmental impact, the speaker organized a field trip of the study program Information Management Automotive to China in November 2018. The main goals of the field trip were (1) to understand industrial policy and market specifics in public and private transportation systems, (2) to learn how China supports and regulates e-mobility and how it succeeds in building up the relevant infrastructure incredibly fast and (3) to discover how local and foreign companies deal with the opportunities and challenges of this huge market. The group experienced the local public transportation systems in four megacities and analyzed their benefits and shortcomings from a user’s perspective. They visited nine e-mobility companies and three universities to learn from their experience and strategies. Additionally, the researcher interviewed two traffic planners in China. The key findings on the theory and practice of urban traffic planning systems will be presented and compared to the approaches in Europe. The comparison covers goals, achievements, regulations, sources and methods of data analyses and AI as well as shortcomings and potential improvements on both sides.
