Karlsruhe Mobility Lab goes IT-TRANS
Network presents current projects on future mobility at the joint stand
One region, numerous players from research, industry and transport operators and many successful mobility projects - the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab is a unique association of many innovative players in the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion. At the joint stand in the dm-arena, stand Y3, the Lab's partners will be presenting their projects - from ways of improving transport links between urban and rural areas (Country2Cit Bridge) to on-demand transport and autonomous driving. In addition to an extensive programme of presentations directly at the stand, attendees can test, touch and try out. Partners of the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab include KAMO: Karlsruhe Mobility High Performance Center, FZI Research Centre for Information Technology and the German Centre for Future Mobility.
The Karlsruhe Mobility Lab of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) stands for a unique ecosystem in which science, business, the public sector and innovative transport companies work hand in hand. The Karlsruhe Mobility Lab will be presenting future-orientated mobility concepts and initiatives at the joint stand (dm arena/Y3):
- The German Centre for Mobility of the Future (DZM) as an alliance of Karlsruhe, Hamburg, Minden and Annaberg-Buchholz in the field of mobility presents lighthouse projects such as on-demand shuttle transport and two-way vehicles for rail.
- The Innovation Campus Mobility of the Future (ICM) demonstrates how cloud technology can be used to implement scalable solutions and improved functionalities for networked vehicles and optimise energy efficiency during operation.
- The KAMO: Karlsruhe Mobility High Performance Centre presents example projects on autonomous driving, intermodal transport and sustainable mobility. These include the lighthouse project "Country-2-City" Bridge, which is researching sustainable and attractive transport options between urban and rural areas as part of the DZM.
- The FZI Research Centre for Information Technology uses the example of smart bus stops to show how existing urban infrastructure can support the operation of automated shuttles. Both the bus stop and the vehicle are equipped with sensors whose data is used by artificial intelligence to not only increase the safety of road users, but also to increase the scalability of automated and networked vehicles in the traffic environment.
- The aim of regioKArgo is to develop a sustainable, holistic logistics concept for the Karlsruhe region. The LogIKTram, URBANE and regioKArgoTramTrain projects will be presented at the stand and are set to go into regular operation.
- The joint mobility portal of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion and the City of Karlsruhe offers comprehensive information on mobility issues in Baden, the Southern Palatinate and Northern Alsace. The platform provides free and mostly real-time data on motor vehicle and cycle traffic, public transport and multimodal mobility.
A lecture forum with numerous exciting presentations and project insights will take place at the trade fair stand on all three days of the fair. The complete lecture programme can be viewed at www.trk.de/mobility.
