SmartUpLab - Decision Support Tools for Integrated Mobility Systems
SmartUpLab is developing a smart, interconnected toolkit to support the roll-out of innovative mobility systems.
SmartUpLab focusses on future developments in local and regional mobility. The project is developing an intelligent toolbox for planning innovative mobility solutions in collaboration with stakeholder groups, e.g. from transport planning, the energy industry and urban planning.
The global trends towards the necessary transformation of our mobility systems due to challenges such as climate change, but also triggered by the technical possibilities of networked, increasingly automated mobility solutions, go hand in hand with new digital platforms and the automation, networking and far-reaching electrification of fleets (cars, scooters, scooters, e-bikes). The new mobility services, which, in combination with a sustainable energy supply, in some cases follow disruptive business models of new players, are increasingly posing major challenges for municipal urban and transport planning.
Scenarios are modelled using participatory research methods. The resulting interactive simulations enable a reduction in complexity in order to identify system dynamics and interactions for stakeholders in a clear way. SmartUpLabs integrates technologies and data-based planning methods for the realisation of the models.
The research design is based on a sprint logic that realises the following project modules in an agile manner:
Identification of the requirements and challenges of developing local and regional mobility systems with the involvement of decision-makers from various stakeholder groups
Mapping of existing best practice examples and technologies in cooperative planning processes.
Integration of existing geoinformation systems and data for the simulation of future scenarios of selected use cases.
Establishment of a SmartUpLab knowledge and technology transfer hub for the subsequent use of the developed planning tools.
SmartUpLab integrates various planning instruments that are currently only available as stand-alone tools and methods. Thanks to its modular structure, the toolbox can be expanded and transferred for further planning tasks.
