Dabei handelt es sich um ein standardisiertes Ver- fahren, nach dem alle vier Jahre etwa 14100 Kilometer Staatsstraßen erfasst und be- wertet werden. Bayerns Verkehrsminister Hans Reichhart: „Die Erhaltung unseres Staatsstraßennetzes ist eine zentrale Auf- gabe der Bayerischen Staatsbauverwal- tung. Die Zustandserfassung ist für uns da- bei essenziell, denn sie bildet die Grundlage für die Wahl der richtigen Erhaltungsmaß- nahmen in unserem Staatsstraßennetz. Da- rüber hinaus liefert sie wichtige Erkenntnis- se für die Verkehrssicherheit, beispielsweise über die Griffigkeit und Spurrinnentiefe der Straßen. Dieses Wissen hilft uns, die Sicher- heit auf Bayerns Straßen zu gewährleisten und weiter zu verbessern.“ Die sogenannte Zustandserfassung und -bewertung (ZEB) wurde auf den Staatsstraßen in Bayern erstmals 1996 angewendet. Die Straßen werden mit speziellen Messfahrzeugen be- fahren. Ein Fahrzeug misst, wie eben die Straßenoberfläche ist, und erstellt Bilder. Damit können Risse, Flickstellen oder Aus- brüche visuell ausgewertet werden. Ein zweites Messfahrzeug misst die Griffigkeit der Straßen. I n spite of many political and economic uncertainties as well as numerous business challenges ranging from the lack of skilled personnel to digitalization, the lo- gistics industry is confident that it will meet the challenges. Compa- nies are getting ready and push- ing future technologies forward. This can also be seen at transport logistic in Munich. “The international logistics in- dustry is optimistic. Forty-three per cent of the logistics profes- sionals surveyed see the further economic development rather positively, and 41 per cent believe it will remain stable,” Stefan Rum- mel, Managing Director of Messe München, reported. “At the same time, the trend barometer of transport logistic shows that companies are facing the chal- lenges, adapting and investing in future technologies.” The opinion research institute IfaD conducted the survey online among previous trade fair participants on behalf of transport logistic in February 2019. Seventy-two per cent of the 2,680 respondents are in manage- rial positions. Confident despite challenges Despite many economic and politi- cal uncertainties, logistics profes- sionals in Germany (1,599 respond- ents), other European countries (868) and beyond (213) see eco- nomic development globally and in their respective countries as rather positive (43 per cent) or sta- ble (41 per cent). They feel ready to face the challenges. Sixty per cent of companies are taking measures such as efficiency programmes to cushion a possible slowdown in the economy. In addition, 61 per cent say they will adjust their supply chain or do so in the near future due to stronger trade con- flicts and punitive tariffs. Even in the face of the Brexit cha- os, the majority of respondents are not worried. Thirty-eight per cent say they are prepared for all contingencies. Fifty per cent be- lieve they will not be directly af- fected. Only twelve per cent fear massive adverse effects from a hard Brexit. One of the biggest challenges facing the logistics in- dustry is the lack of good staff. Forty-five per cent complain about the lack of skilled workers, and 33 per cent about the lack of drivers. Increasing price and competitive pressure is also at the top of the list at 40 per cent, 33 per cent also regard digitalization of business processes as particularly chal- lenging, and 25 per cent cite in- creasing bureaucratic constraints. Respondents also had the oppor- tunity to specify their own topics. The quality of infrastructure was particularly criticized. However, companies not only see challenges; 60 per cent of re- spondents say that their company is investing in innovative technolo- gies. Top 5 technologies: “Industry 4.0 and IoT” (25 per cent), “Telem- atics and Autonomous Driving” in the same measure as “Alternative Drives /Electric Mobility” (22 per cent each) as well as “Robot Use” and “Artificial Intelligence” at 14 per cent each. Clogged inner cit- ies, area competition, challenge of the last mile – to make city lo- gistics smart, fast and clean, the three most important measures are: cooperation with other par- ticipants (20 per cent), alterna- tively powered delivery vehicles (17 per cent) and the bundling of shipments from different service providers (14 per cent). The diesel engine is under pres- sure, and consequently many companies are too. Twenty-eight per cent of respondents say that (diesel) driving bans jeopardize the profitability of their company. Thirty-three per cent already have alternative drives in use in their company, and 41 per cent want to integrate alternative drives into their fleet in the near future. Only eleven per cent want to retrofit ex- isting vehicles. Overall, 54 per cent of respondents say their company will invest in new vehicles. The logistics industry is in the midst of the digital transforma- tion. Eleven per cent see them- selves as pioneers in this field, 33 per cent already have a digital overall strategy in the company, and 44 per cent have already digi- talized many processes and will do this with other ones. Sixty- four per cent say their company invests sufficiently in digitaliza- tion. Thirty-five per cent of re- spondents reported their compa- ny works with start-ups to drive innovation.
