Future of Mobility - TrEx​

Project Title: Transformative Mobility Experiments​

​Project Acronym: TrEx

​Researchers: ​

This project area is supported by multiple experts from TUM and SAP ​

​Motivation:​

​The MCube lighthouse project Transformative Mobility Experiments (TrEx) aims to systematically understand experiments for sustainable and scalable mobility transformations, develop them in a participatory way, test them in a business-oriented way, and strengthen them with new tools and perspectives. TrEx sees experiments and crisis experiences of various types as key to the transformation of mobility.​

Specifically, TrEx addresses three types of experiments that are of great relevance for mobility transformations and will be considered carefully and in a differentiated manner:​

​(1) Natural Experiments and Crisis Experiences,​

(2) Everyday World (Social) Experiments, and​

(3) Innovation Experiments and Reallabs.​

​By the end of the term, we will develop new solutions to similar challenges at different scales -- from the citizen to urban neighborhoods, to the large enterprise.​

As an outcome of the project, we aim to develop experiences for urban resilience, prototypes for citizen-centered transformation scenarios, and the iterative development of standardized processes for economically connectable, responsible, and safe implementation of mobility innovations.​

On the one hand, TrEx focuses on the process level, where new procedures are developed, for example, for the safe and standardised use of real laboratories or complex data architectures.​

Project Start: 2021​

Project End: 2024 ​
