you happiness fears for everyone schuman penises are very different from primates you know we have a totally ridiculous size view nature and there. is climate change regular sex how to dance in books you get smarter for free you know where your books. in other countries i just read you the interest of cars and like you just have to go even because i'm not on the bike. just like. germany is highways are overcrowded and traffic is only getting worse.

the monday course it does different think about it there are 2000000 trucks on europe's roads every day i decided i had to do something most. urban areas also suffer the effects of road traffic clogged streets and produce it and if you build a city along the car you forget to human beings on the streets we as a cross-reference how can we really imagine the militia of the future. i love the shipment test failed to materialize the just 6 agent all of it took goes over to talk to his driver in the meantime they had a lot of empty runs on the weekend after dropping off their cargo trucks came back empty and that's something all of the public wants to avoid. hoover county i was

supposed to make 3 runs today but the 2nd was canceled if no other solution is found the truck will go empty for 500 kilometers. to the canada has been a truck driver for almost 40 years his look has changed a lot over that time. but. this used to be a dream job not anymore. there are too many trucks on the roads and. traffic is heavy and and there are constant traffic jams i can't just drive past it on the shoulder or say get out of my way i'm on a deadline that means. the number of trucks on germany's freeways has been rising with no end in sight but 2030 it's expected that freight volume will increase by 39

percent driven by the growth in online shopping. more goods going by road to bring more congestion. close to tell our friends is a management consultant he never had anything to do with trucks or freight companies but one day that changed. i don't know if i know autobahn really stuck in a traffic jam on a freeway like this it's on in front of me the trucks were lined up to the horizon i wondered if there might be a smarter way to deal with richard's it's really going to loosen. against this kid i want to major insight was when i realized that 25 percent of trucks on the road are empty the complex clear and about 40 percent of their capacity goes on tax but . now i'm on the roads the solution was clear to him a few. empty trucks would help reduce traffic and its environmental impact

environmental issues are high on his agenda he takes the train to work. and 2016 he took the plunge and founded cargo next a company that aims to stop empty runs baskets in the logistics companies on board wasn't easy. i asked the established companies in the industry what part they also work that's really fun to. cargan excess online platform uses self learning algorithms to calculate logistics capacity and demand in real time when a company wants to ship goods to a customer it has to strike a deal with religious text. that takes time. the platform acts as an intermediary calculating a current market price in the blink of an eye religious text companies see it online whoever has an empty truck nearby can claim the job and send their driver

straight away. it makes sense but is the logistics industry ready to change the way it operates the trucking business is already stressful enough. over cantor has nearly completed his 1st delivery the carrier he drives for has been using hove to to love hence his online platform for just 2 weeks will it work after unloading there's a gap his next job isn't 500 kilometers away. his truck will have to make the run empty unless his dispatcher manages to get him another order. the former north when you're ready to go you press here to indicate you're looking for an order. that tells the office the truck is empty kinds of obvious sometimes we drive 10150 kilometers without cargo. on.

the message arrives at the office in pattaya born in northwest in germany the dispatchers does looking for a suitable cargo time is of the essence the company only ends money when the truck is loaded and on the road. about it if a truck has to wait too long at the unloading point or gets stuck in traffic it can miss its delivery window so we have to reshuffle the deck 3 or 4 times a day. before have a dr. can the intelligent online platform help that would be good for the environment and help prevent clogged roads. commuters are another piece of the past they add to the traffic bed and. carlos usually drives to her work at schneider a company known for its pens and pencils. her partner money where his works there

too and could even ride with her but here's the prefers to take his bike to work. just down the road money where his meets up with his father about what. a lot of oh yeah i. did i asked if. he also works at schneider it's a snowy morning in this corner of the black forest in southwestern germany but every day rain or shine the 2 cycle to work 5 kilometers over hilly terrain. not far from their house is a bus stop the passengers also work for schneider. it looks like a regular city bus but had belongs to the family owned company. for the past 34 years

there's been a free bus service for employees so they can leave their cars at home commuters are a major burden on germany's roads some 68 percent drive to work most of them alone in their cars up to 55 people can fit on the company bus so that means up to 55 fewer cars on the roads. manner and battered his bikes don't belong to them at least not yet they lease through their employer they can also ride them in their free time one of their pays a leasing fee of $65.00 euros per month his employer offers a financial incentive if you bikes to work at least 60 times a year the company pays up to $35.00 euros of the monthly rate meanwhile a 3rd of schneider's workforce is taking part and a reward awaits the 3 cyclists who write the most. if you write

a lot the company will cover the costs for a whole year. but when it rains we take the bus every now and then. i. have read journey is recorded in the log books. manuel has never won the company's competition but he's ambitious. for me i think i'm near the top this year. i hope so. we'll see time to hand over the log books. the competition was multinational it is the idea. she's had of public relations in the family for environmental awareness has long been central to the schneider company's ethos and that includes how its 400 employees commute to work it was martina's grandfather who launched the company pass the bicycles were her father's idea. and commuting bike is so popular now that it's giving the bus

a run for its money. to fly their local go here like the 2 programs compete with each other in a way but 1st it's the time i passed when we started with bicycles and 2012 some people switched from the past to the find a horse that had an impact on sustainability the bus with room for $55.00 so only 5 people on board that has an effect so we're looking for workable solution yourself driving a bus or small van so we're still figuring out the best solution to get. martino's brother christiane schneider is the managing director he's especially keen on the idea of self driving buses and he's been considering purchasing 2 or 3 of these buses they can operate with or without a driver this small and economical and each person could travel a different route. every bone below the concept is

always going to need to be updated unmodified we're putting a lot of thought into what the future. i look like it's. self driving buses might be the wave of the future but this now does need a quick isolation and nearby company recently started offering its workforce a carpooling service using mini buses every morning jeff did call him and collect his colleagues and after work he drives them home in the evenings and on weekends the minibus is available as part of a car sharing scheme open to the public. from a one but your business for right. more our 9 seats and 9 of us before we leave my place at 630 so. people can now leave their cars at home. for the schneider company it's a promising idea they could use more mini buses in the winter and fewer in the

summer it would be a good supplement to the commuting bike scheme. but for the moment it's the bike scheme that's getting all the attention. who will win the competition and receive a year's free lease on their bike when money where his come out on top the moment of truth is here. or from a crowds at our regional goal mistral place 20000 kilometers of driving we've done that many times over we've put in over 400000 kilometers. yes i had a liver failure providing really to find out who the winners are. was close. by. it's the model. the 3rd winner is money well his congratulations and good luck this upcoming season coming off oracle for the next

now you get one year on your bike free of charge it's not like this isn't. leasing bikes and company passes are just too incentives that can help reduce commuter traffic but what if entire cities move to ditch their cars. this city of trashed in the netherlands has tried to do just that according to an international survey it's one of the world's best bike cities even ahead of amsterdam. but traced isn't content to rest on its laurels it's continuing to invest in is a bit of projects. originally from australia conny fund done now who is the netherlands home she'd lived in a number of cities around the world but fell in love with a small town. she learned how to ride

a bike here when she was already in her thirty's. i've never cycled i tried to cycle once i didn't know what i was doing dangerous it was 35 degrees i heard myself i only started cycling in london in central london. really crazy. cycling has become her passion she even writes articles for english language newspapers about cycling in the netherlands one article profiled cycling instructors like fun slip he's going to take early on a tour to taste the record. and you want to talk about cycling through your trip i would like a result enjoy your dia my job is to teach anyone who wants to learn how to write safe. traffic coming from here. even on a bike urban traffic takes some getting used to cycling instructors are just one of

the novel idea is that the netherlands has used to win people over to bikes. another idea to make biking more fun is smart and playful traffic lights called flow which connoted in 2017. the turtle tells riders to slow down to catch the green knight rather means pedal harder to cali. his power for you so no chance of getting a green light. across traced new bike paths and bridges are sprouting up to give cyclists the fastest and most convenient rates. this new bridge is even heated in the winter so that it doesn't over. it's happening and you can see it in a city like you to it in the example unlike houghton of course yeah there are there are cities who are really thinking from how do we get from being a car city to be

a washable city we knew we were traced is continuing to invest in a car free future. oh my no way. the latest mega projects cost more than $30000000.00 euros. the main railway station as now home to the world's largest by kharaj. and plans are underway to remove even more cars from the city center. a lot from her drunk is you trace deputy mayor responsible for transport and mobility when we build these kind of beautiful our parkings people are going to really go to psycho just because the facilities are there so it's it stimulates the mobility that we like. the treasurer is growing and doesn't want to be overwhelmed by car traffic in 2017 the city invested $130.00 euros per resident into cycling

infrastructure bilin invested just 4 euro 70 per resident but who traced hasn't always been a world class bike city. like in many other countries in the 1950 s. and sixty's the automobile was at the center of urban planning a large canal in the center of the city was even filled in so that a freeway could be built on top of it. for the past 20 years has been gradually reversing the mistakes of the past the condell is also being restored and the motorway is being transformed into a waterway and away says of car in the midst of the city. new residential developments are also doing their part for a lot fun who dunks reducing car traffic is a priority a new district with 6000 drillings isn't planning. instead of one car per

household the district will have parking for only one out of every 3 households there will be mobility management so a couple of hops people can go for all their mobility desires car sharing electric by cargo public transport there's really no fast mobility inside this area. the residents of already undertake half of all journeys by bike the deputy mayor wants to increase that. human beings should be central in the city that's what we are building the city around and not the cars and in debt since it's a historical change and we try to undo all the damage that's been done been done in the fifty's and sixty's and seventy's. leave and it's on her way home the route takes her along

a lovely cycle path it's another incentive to leave the car behind people in the netherlands travel by bike for 27 percent of their journeys in germany that figure is 11 percent and in france just 3. the cycle express or it brings karlie directly to how to where cars are now just guests. truckdriver overcomer is still waiting for a load of freight otherwise he'll have to drive an empty truck 500 kilometers to where. at the company's headquarters all of a book is trying to prevent the empty run he is on the cargo next online platform looking for a suitable order. he spotted something pick up in a location not too far from me is waiting. one click and he has the job.

as does all confront so that truck's now been taken care. of called for all of the order is coming through for monday 35 power cages 10 pallets for drilling and so we can get moving. over canada got the additional load he'd hoped for it's along his planned route and his truck has enough room for it thanks to intelligent freight coordination he's avoided an empty run and kept an unnecessary truck of the road it's a win for the logistics company the roads and our environment. back in hamburg 050 to love is pleased. although the logistics industry was skeptical at 1st that's changed. some 8000 companies with more than 120000 trucks have registered with his platform. the

larger the network grows the more efficient it becomes cutting down on even more empty runs. we could measure it on vehicles that operate exclusively through us. we saw a 50 percent reduction in empty kilometers compared to the overall average for quarter but. if all trucks in germany operated at such a high capacity at least half of empty runs could be avoided that would mean fewer trucks on the highways and fewer traffic jams. but what could be done about the traffic taking over our cities. again we can look to the netherlands for an.

car leave undone and her family live in the town of hearten outside taste before living here she could hardly imagine doing without a car but in house and she does everything by bike. right into our house 3 minutes. and by cartridges around to our house 10 minutes some people don't understand how why you would get in the car to do the shopping children also go to school on their own 9 year old rafi has just short trips. his older sisters mia and abby spend about an hour on their bikes getting to school and back every day. it's a lot of writing every way it's 8 kilometers back and forth but it's still better than a car because

a car is not really that good for the next year and it's just so more independent to write they come out of school and i know they can get themselves to one place to another place i don't have to chaperone them they're independent they can make decisions for themselves and they just feel. good in the world in other countries i just read that they all just have cars and like you just have to go in a car and not on the bike bridges like. in 2018 how tim was voted the netherlands best bicycle city around the world the suburb of 50000. is regarded as the model for the mobility of the future car and bicycle traffic are separated wherever they do meet the bicycle always has the right of way there hasn't been a fatal cycling accident here in 40 years houghton's bicycle commissioner and i put in months is a friend of kylie's. you know how to cyclists always you know cycle on they never

have to stop not for cars or traffic not for traffic lights not for trains nothing airplanes. and overflying birch. next article kylie wants to report on how houghton became a bicycle city. is missing the man who planned this town more than 50 years ago club attacks back then housing was still a village in the search for new housing here to taste it decision was made to build a new community here with a very special traffic concept. we decided to do things the other way around instead of starting with the car which was normal in urban planning we started with other things green areas walking cycling quality of life. because you're going to come with. a community with a car is an afterthought

a community with room for people in your area and your friend is living over there and you want to go to visit them. by bike it is. managed by car impossible this is a barrier you have to go out to shoot your road and driving driving driving an additional movement in my book. there's the family that . people can still drive and house in but it's never the fastest option that makes the decision to travel by bike easy and that's why the share of journeys made by bike here is the highest in the world. and some people say that if the nederlandse is the heaven for cyclists then out in is the heaven of heaven. i believe it with the right incentives we can leave our cars

behind like bike friendly communities and new mobility infrastructure company buses and cheap or even free public transport. this transformation won't happen overnight but there are people and places that have paved the way for us to.
