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.
Develop the next mobility innovations for metropolitan regions. Together. Possible. To make it happen.
A recent study from the ReMIX environment investigates, through urban experiments in Munich, how specific mobility futures are made effective by three central performative mechanisms.
How can mobility innovations be designed responsibly — and what political frameworks are needed for this?
At re:publica 2026 in Berlin, MCube was represented at Europe's largest digital and society conference – with all 21 cluster and campus initiatives of the BMFTR.
5,000 guests, many insights: TUM's Sustainability Day made sustainable innovation tangible.
MCube Consulting is introducing SmartEvent, a digital tool that makes event registration in Munich easier and more efficient through the use of geodata.
The new study shows: Every euro invested in public transport in the MVV generates almost four times the economic value added.
Electric, autonomous, networked: The logistics industry is facing a major transformation. The MCube Speaker Series at the Deutsches Museum discussed how this future can become reality.
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?
