Create transparency about the actual costs of mobility
We have been working to create a full cost perspective on urban transport. In addition to air pollutants and climate damage, full costs also include accidents, traffic jams, land consumption, and noise.
Within the project, innovative approaches were developed that enable the promotion of sustainable mobility behavior through cost transparency, awareness-building, and planning and control elements.
Mobility options evaluated by their total costs
An online, freely available full-cost calculator has been developed that provides evaluated mobility options for individual route inquiries.
To promote sustainable mobility behavior, scenarios for a holistic, dynamic full-cost pricing system have also been developed.
These scenarios are then examined with regard to their impact on accessibility and mobility behavior.
Making sustainability visible in transport decisions
The qualitative assessment of different mobility options with regard to their sustainability should enable planners and policymakers to create price incentives for travelers to make their mobility behavior more sustainable – both in the short term (e.g., choice of transportation) and in the long term (e.g., car ownership).
For citizens, the difference between estimated or perceived impacts and decisions regarding transportation choices and their actual effects will be shown, thereby creating transparency.
Mobiscore online tool and its evaluation
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!!!
Simple cost calculator for transportation in rural communities
Our external cost tool enables municipalities to quickly and easily calculate the external costs of transport caused by their residents. It also allows for the analysis of the impacts of various mobility measures on the modal split and the external cost balance.
The tool is specifically developed for rural municipalities in Bavaria that want to easily evaluate measures even without a calibrated traffic model.

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?
