TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility

Support for digital transformation in the area of smart mobility and smart city

The German automotive industry is facing major challenges from new mobility concepts, digital business models and strong international competitors in digital mobility services (Google, Apple).

Smart Mobility & Smart City
TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility supports the transformation in Smart Mobility and Smart City.

TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility was initiated to support the digital transformation in the field of Smart Mobility and Smart City, funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy and Technology (StMWi) through the Zentrum Digitalisierung.Bayern (ZD.B), an initiative of the Bavarian state government. The research project bundled the relevant research, development, and innovation competencies of the TU Munich in computer science and transportation research. The project ran from August 2015 to December 2019.

Cross-industry networking

In addition to scientific research, a key achievement of the project was the networking of mobility providers, service providers, developers and users on a personal, organizational and technical level. In doing so, the project contributed to establishing the ecosystem necessary for success. Smaller companies and start-ups were thereby enabled to develop their own digital mobility services with little financial, organizational and technical effort. The TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility thus served as an innovation platform for simplified and accelerated Schaubild TUM Living LabContributions of the TUM LLCM to the development of digital mobility services for urban areas.

The university contributed to this digital ecosystem current research findings from key areas of digital mobility platforms such as data analysis, app development, service monitoring, platform governance and the efficient and legally secure integration of other partners. In doing so, the established cooperation between TUM, the local industry, but also the local start-up scene was also used to consider practical requirements in the environment of digital mobility platforms from the beginning. In Informatik Spektrum (2017), the cross-project article "Informatics Research for Digital Mobility Platforms - Taking the TUM Living Lab Connected Mobility as an example" was published.
