Abstract
Climatologists forecast drier summers and more humid winters in Germany and Central Europe over the next few decades. If incidents such as storms, thunderstorms or floods increase, then the consequences on traffic, the economy and the mobility of people will also increase. Furthermore, coping with climate changes and protecting the environment plays a more and more significant role. New environmental laws and guidelines in Europe force politics and economy to act which requires e.g. innovative concepts for traffic management. Risk protection can only be assumed if the risk is known in due time. In extreme cases, target-oriented information can save lives, protect infrastructures, increase safety and save energy. In order to gain this information, a modular data acquisition network is necessary for the cost-efficient capture of traffic and environmental data.
