Rasmus Kyng has written the near-perfect algorithm. It computes the maximum transport flow at minimum cost for any kind of network – be it rail, road or electricity – at a speed that is, mathematically speaking, impossible to beat.
How Zurich has to change its roads to have more e-bikes than cars
News
![A symbolic image with a road space, half of which is dedicated to bikes and e-bikes.](/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2023/11/how-zurich-has-to-change-its-roads-to-have-more-e-bikes-than-cars/_jcr_content/pageimages/imageSmall.imageformat.contentteaser.366331241.jpg)
What happens when cities gear their road space primarily to the needs of cyclists and e-bikers? On a new popular-science website, ETH researchers use examples from the city of Zurich to show what such an “E-Bike City” could one day look like.

Without political measures for zero-emission technologies, a significant proportion of heavy goods vehicles will still run on diesel in 2035. This result is shown in a new ETH Zurich study on the decarbonisation of truck traffic.
