Broad social acceptance of new forms of mobility is crucial for a successful mobility transition. The needs of numerous user groups must be taken into account when developing and implementing these forms of mobility in order to make public space accessible to society as a whole. With the advancing automation of transportation, it is therefore of central importance to put people at the heart of developments and to take into account the different mobility needs of vulnerable road users. The Test intersection for urban automated and connected traffic will provide a safe testing ground for automated forms of mobility in interaction with vulnerable road users such as cyclists, pedestrians and wheelchair users.
Following the start of construction work on the test intersection this year, it is expected to be completed by the end of the year. In the meantime, stationary LiDAR systems, which will also be used at the test intersection and allow data protection-compliant recording of all road users, as well as traffic technology components that enable the networking of all road users, have been installed and tested at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences' technology campus. In addition, work on the Chair of Traffic Engineering's research vehicle, an automated rickshaw, was driven forward.
Once the test junction has been completed, tests will be carried out on various use cases, which will cover the following topics:
In 2025, representatives from various municipalities regularly met as part of a Community of Practice to exchange ideas on meaningful practices with urban data for sustainable mobility.
How can questions of equitable mobility be jointly researched and shaped? The seminar „Planning for Mobility Justice“ at the TU Munich highlights different perspectives on mobility (in)justice.

What will mobility actually look like in 2035? At the MCube Speaker Series at the SAP Lab Garching, we discussed this with experts from academia, business, and the public sector.
This year's cluster meeting was not only about the MCube innovation projects, but above all about the five-year anniversary of the cluster. MCube is celebrating 5 years and with it 5 years of mobility innovations.
rescuePY shows how simulations can be used not only for traffic planning but also for critical areas of urban mobility.
While debates today are often characterized by hardened fronts, we tried a different format: the House of Commons debate.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
