New research project: How data is changing the mobility of the future!
The TU Berlin is part of the new SFB “AgiMo” for data-supported mobility planning under the direction of Prof. Dr. Kai Nagel.
New research project: How data is changing the mobility of the future!
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a new Collaborative Research Center (SFB) with the title “AgiMo: Data-driven agile planning for responsible mobility”. The SFB is operated by the Technical University of Berlin, the Technical University of Munich and the Technical University of Dresden as well as other partner institutions. Prof. Dr. Kai Nagel from TU Berlin, head of the Department of Transport System Planning and Traffic Telematics, is significantly involved in this project.
The DFG has approved funding totaling 12.7 million euros for the four-year funding period. The aim of the research project is data-supported, agile planning for responsible mobility. “AgiMo” is intended to develop innovative approaches to the use of mobility data and help to optimize traffic flow and better take the interests of all road users into account.
Research priorities and goals
As part of the AgiMo project, researchers have defined four main goals:
- Entwicklung neuer Methoden für die Mobilitätsplanung, die Daten, Modelle zum Mobilitätsverhalten und Methoden für das Management von Verkehrssystemen einbeziehen.
- Festlegung von Kriterien für verantwortungsvolle Mobilität basierend auf den „4F-Prinzipien“: Function, Form, Fairness und Forever.
- Schaffung eines digitalen Zwillings als Open-Source-Anwendung zur Bereitstellung aktueller, netzwerkweit assimilierter Mobilitätsdaten.
- Erarbeitung evidenzbasierter Zukunftsszenarien für eine verantwortungsvolle Mobilität durch neue partizipative Planungsmethoden.
In addition, the research approaches in the AgiMo project require close collaboration between the technical sciences and the social sciences. This multidisciplinary approach is necessary to adequately address the complex challenges of mobility planning.
Further funding and projects
The DFG has recently set up a total of 13 new special research areas, of which the SFB AgiMo is one. Another SFB at the Technical University of Munich is called “SHARP: Simulation-based learning at universities: from process diagnostics to personalized intervention”, which is also of great importance for research.
The DFG has been funding interdisciplinary and long-term research projects in Germany for many years. The establishment of the AgiMo-SFB will make a further important contribution to research in the field of transport technology and mobility. The projects will come into force from October 2025 for an initial period of three years and nine months, but will total funding of around 177 million euros.
The partner institutions, including the TU Braunschweig and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), complement the strong network of academic institutions in Germany that deal with transport and mobility issues TU Berlin reported.
