As part of the STEAM joint project, we developed a semi-flexible bus system that integrates both passenger and parcel transportation. The aim was to make local public transport more sustainable, make better use of bus capacities and create new opportunities for urban mobility. The system was successfully tested in simulations and in real-life laboratories under real conditions.
We have made rigid bus routes more flexible to enable dynamic routes that adapt to the needs of passengers and logistics. We have developed new vehicle concepts that enable the transportation of passengers and parcels in one vehicle. These concepts were developed through data analysis, mathematical optimization and virtual reality prototypes and verified in real tests. Collaboration with industrial and academic partners played a crucial role.
Our aim was to make local public transport more efficient, environmentally friendly and customer-oriented. By combining passenger and freight transportation and introducing flexible bus routes, we were able to increase transport efficiency, reduce emissions and increase customer satisfaction. The insights gained were incorporated into recommendations for action and business models that support a sustainable mobility future.
A committed consortium of experienced partners from science, business, the public sector and society worked together on an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary basis.

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?
