DatSim 2.0 - Digital Mobility Twin Munich

What is DatSim 2.0?

 

Imagine if we could test the mobility of tomorrow before it hits the roads today. DatSim 2.0 makes exactly that possible: as the digital mobility twin of the city of Munich, the project translates complex real-time data into reliable forecasts.

We are creating a virtual test field in which intelligent algorithms show how Munich will keep moving efficiently and sustainably in the future.

Aim of the project

We make mobility
digitally plannable

In the MCube project DatSim 2.0, we are creating the digital foundation to realistically depict, understand and further develop mobility in the metropolitan region.

This allows us to test the impact, safety and sustainability of future-proof measures before they are implemented - in close cooperation with municipal stakeholders and partners from the MCube Cluster.

The project focuses on the following areas:

Digital data basis for mobility

A reliable basis for decisions: We collect, bundle and provide mobility, traffic and environmental data - supplemented by high-resolution measurements of traffic and air quality.

Realistic simulations

Thinking ahead about mobility: We model traffic, emissions and immissions in order to digitally map urban districts and visualize the effects of planned measures.

Practical application in use cases

Checking the impact before it becomes reality: Together with municipal stakeholders, we are investigating how mobility interventions affect urban emergency services and air quality.

Digital support for the MCube Cluster

Getting better together: The project acts as a digital contact point and shares methods, infrastructure and expertise to actively support other MCube projects in digitization and modelling.

Project partners

DatSim 2.0 is based on
Collaboration

In DatiSim 2.0, experienced partners from science, administration and business are working together under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich.

Science
Chair of Automotive Engineering at the Technical University of Munich

The Smart Mobility Lab at the Chair of Automotive Technology (FTM) at TUM designs resource-efficient, livable and demand-oriented mobility solutions through data-driven analyses. We simulate and evaluate innovative scenarios such as robotaxis, sharing concepts or the electrification of commercial fleets in order to precisely predict their impact on the transportation system. Thanks to the close synergy with the working groups for autonomous and electric vehicles, we cover the entire value chain of modern mobility systems.

Chair of Traffic Engineering at the Technical University of Munich

At the Chair of Traffic Engineering at TUM, we deal with the analysis, modeling and design of traffic systems. The focus is on the mobility of people and goods, the interaction of different modes of transport and the use of technical and digital solutions to control and optimize transport processes. We are particularly interested in future-proof, efficient and sustainable mobility concepts.

Professorship for Environmental Sensors and Modeling at the Technical University of Munich

The Chair of Environmental Sensing and Modeling at TUM is concerned with the development of new measurement methods and models for the collection and analysis of environmental and traffic data - especially in urban areas. It researches how greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants can be precisely measured, localized and monitored over the long term and how this data can be better understood with the help of modeling and simulation methods. This includes the development of optical sensors, sensor networks for continuous measurement in cities and computer-aided models for evaluating emissions as well as the influence of human activities on air quality and climate.

Municipal Department Geodata Service of the City of Munich

The municipal department of the City of Munich is driving forward the development and use of a digital twin of the city. This virtual, data-based image depicts urban structures and processes realistically and links them together. The administration uses the digital twin to carry out planning, analyses and „what-if“ scenarios in the areas of mobility, climate, urban development and infrastructure and to better coordinate decisions. By integrating various data sources - including geodata, sensor data and specialist information - the technology enables more efficient, transparent and future-oriented urban planning. At the same time, the digital twin is being further developed and can be used as part of smart city projects and for citizen participation.

Fire Department of the City of Munich

Munich's professional fire department is responsible around the clock for rapid, safe responses to fires, accidents and technical emergencies throughout the city. It is a key partner for DatSim 2.0: with its high level of practical relevance and experience from real operational planning, it helps to model and evaluate mobility and traffic scenarios more realistically - for example with regard to deployment routes, traffic dynamics and safety aspects. Together, we ensure that digital simulations are not only technically correct, but also operationally relevant and practical.

Mobility Department of the City of Munich

The Mobility Department (MOR) of the City of Munich is the central point of contact for strategic issues relating to mobility and transportation in the city. The aim of our work is to improve the quality of life and promote safe, equal interaction between all road users on Munich's streets.

Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)

Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) is a leading company in the field of helicopter development, production and maintenance. Based in Germany, AHD develops and produces both civil and military helicopters and offers comprehensive service and maintenance services. Through technological innovations, digital control systems and efficient flight solutions, the company supports safe, flexible and sustainable air mobility for the civil and public sectors as well as for security and rescue services.

NewSense Engineering GmbH

NewSense Engineering GmbH develops AI-supported software solutions that generate real-time situational awareness from GDPR-compliant sensor data. This enables safety, hazard prevention and a comprehensive overview of mobility and traffic in smart cities, at major events, at transport hubs or airports. With 3D real-time data integration, automated detection of potential hazards and intelligent analysis, we support cities, mobility stakeholders and safety managers in increasing efficiency, identifying risks at an early stage and deploying resources in a targeted manner.

Okari Ltd.

Okari GmbH develops intelligent software and data solutions to optimize traffic and mobility processes by analyzing and visualizing real-time traffic data to improve decisions for cities, transport companies and mobility services. Through algorithmic evaluations as well as simulation and forecasting models, Okari helps to reduce congestion, control traffic flows and make mobility more efficient and sustainable.

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∙.
