Concept and testing of a hybrid bus system
As part of the joint STEAM project, we have developed a semi-flexible bus system that integrates both passenger and parcel transport.
The goal was to make public transportation more sustainable, better utilize bus capacity, and create new opportunities for urban mobility.
The system has been successfully tested through simulations and in real-world laboratories under actual conditions.
Development through simulation, analysis, and practical testing
We have made rigid bus routes flexible to enable dynamic routes that adapt to the needs of passengers and logistics.
In doing so, we developed new vehicle concepts that enable the transport of people and packages in one vehicle. These concepts were developed through data analyses, mathematical optimizations, and
Developed virtual reality prototypes and validated them in real-world tests. Collaboration with industrial and academic partners played a crucial role.
More efficiency, fewer emissions, better user experience
Our goal was to make public transport more efficient, environmentally friendly, and customer-oriented. By combining passenger and freight transport and introducing flexible bus routes, we were able to
Increase traffic efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance customer satisfaction. The insights gained were incorporated into recommendations and business models that support a sustainable mobility future.
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?
