Innovation recommendation 05 - TrEx

If you want to develop products and solutions for social problems, you have to test them in advance. Research is increasingly focusing on temporary real-world laboratories and experimental processes - including for mobility innovations such as the greening of streets or autonomous driving in everyday traffic.

Although real-world mobility laboratories can differ immensely, this is where the future of mobility is discussed, shaped and made tangible. In our recommendation, we therefore focus on the municipal handling of experimental approaches that are driven forward in cooperation with project partners, innovators and research funding.

Here you can find our innovation recommendation „Experimenting for the mobility transition - impulses for municipalities for dealing with real-world laboratories“.

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.

MOSAIQ Action Day in Moosach at the Nanga-Parbat-Straße intersection

On Friday, September 18, 2026, a diverse program awaits residents and interested visitors to discover the new places in the neighborhood.

With MehrwertRad, MCube Consulting is developing a practical approach to systematically measure the economic benefits of cycling and the bicycle industry.

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.

The goal is to, evidence-based Develop scenarios and transition pathways for a sustainable, inclusive, and future-proof mobility system by 2055.

Easy language

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?

  • In the year 2025:
    The people in the district can participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers are also starting their work.
  • In the year 2026:
    Some ideas are tried out.
    They are moved around the streets for a certain period of time.
  • In the year 2027:
    The results are evaluated.
    Consideration is given to how things can continue∙.
