SASIM

Smart Advisor for Sustainable Integrated Mobility (SASIM) - A full-cost perspective on urban transportation

What did we do?

We have worked on creating a full-cost perspective on urban transportation. In addition to air pollutants and climate damage, full costs also include accidents, congestion, land consumption and noise. As part of the project, innovative approaches were developed that make it possible to promote sustainable mobility behavior with the help of cost transparency, awareness-raising and planning and control elements.

What did we do?

A full-cost calculator was developed that is freely available online and provides evaluated mobility options for individual travel requests. To promote sustainable mobility behavior, scenarios for a holistic, dynamic pricing system based on full costs were also created. These scenarios are then examined in terms of their impact on accessibility and mobility behavior.

What did we do?

The qualitative assessment of the various mobility options in terms of their sustainability should enable planners and politicians to create price incentives for travelers to make their mobility behavior more sustainable - both in the short term (e.g. choice of means of transport) and in the long term (e.g. car ownership). For citizens, the difference between estimated or perceived effects and decisions on the choice of means of transport and the actual effects is shown, thus creating transparency.

Do you want to know the true price of your mobility?

We are very proud to finally present our full cost calculator!

The MCube innovation project SASIM has developed an online tool to make the full costs of our mobility visible.

Why? Up to now, we have only paid the personal (internal) costs for our mobility, such as fuel costs or public transport tickets. However, external costs such as noise pollution, air pollution and accident-related costs also play a major role.

These costs are not borne by the users, but by society.

Go try it out!!! 

External costs tool: Simple cost calculator for transportation in rural communities

Our external cost tool enables municipalities to quickly and easily calculate the external costs of transportation caused by their residents. In addition, the effects of various mobility measures on the modal split and the external cost balance can be analyzed. The tool has been specially developed for rural municipalities in Bavaria that want to easily evaluate measures even without a calibrated transport model.

If you are interested in the tool, please contact sasim@mcube-cluster.de

Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around bettermove. Your city couldpart of Schwabing-West in the future. How would you like your citytake part? 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 city of the future.participate. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project. 

What is MOSAIQ about? 
MOSAIQ wants to improve the streets inpart more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For example, for meetings, for everyone, for plants and for a good atmosphere. You can help withdecide what to do in the citypart is tried out. The ideas come from you. Some ideas are tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.  
The aim of MOSAIQ is: The cityparts should become 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 citycan participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers also begin 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 being given to howcan go.
