Infrastructure

More and more people prefer using means of transport to owning them. Multimodal mobility services link the offerings of public transport, pedestrian and cycle traffic, car sharing, taxis and other new mobility offerings. The objective is to provide seamless multimodal mobility services from A to B which are available to users. The Confederation is creating…

Automated and networked mobility can contribute to more efficient use of infrastructure and improved transport safety. For automated and networked vehicles to operate, basic conditions must be established which enable the opportunities to be exploited and which at the same time minimise the associated risks.

The following activities are included:…

Support for digitalisation of radio broadcasting through implementation of the radio industry's DigiMig agreement.

Within the framework of Energy Strategy 2050 and the electricity legislation (Electricity Supply Act, Electricity Supply Ordinance) the first framework conditions were stipulated for the digitalisation of the industry and the development of intelligent electricity networks (smart grids). In particular the following areas are regulated: the introduction…

As part of the revision of the Electricity Supply Act, the basic conditions for the electricity market are being improved once again.
