Mobility is a human right. Why our mobility systems are not gender-neutral

Meike Wenzl
Beraterin für menschenzentrierte Transformation, Innovation & AI-Enablement, metafinanz Informationssysteme GmbH

As a transformation consultant at metafinanz, Meike Wenzl shapes the digital transformation in a radically people-centered way. For her, value-adding AI applications and technological innovations emerge precisely where people are at the center. She specifically applies this perspective to the mobility sector: She critically examines the influence of artificial intelligence on our movement patterns and engages intensively with the gender data gap. Meike Wenzl demonstrates in a practical way how AI systems must be trained with a human-centered approach to close data gaps rather than reproduce existing biases. In doing so, she combines technology, social equity, and organizational processes to create genuine change processes that are driven by people.

We are interested in how crowd density changes, where each person is a node in an ad hoc network. Density thus influences network quality. The AI method “Dynamic Mode Composition” enables precise predictions. At the same time, the quantity of interest is broken down into components that can be understood and interpreted using classical engineering mathematics.

City Rally: Cities Pitch Their Challenges

The Challenge of a Smart Vehicle Fleet: Traffic Congestion on the Würzburg Ring Road

Würzburg’s ring road is exceptionally well-suited for intercity traffic as a shortcut between the A3 and A7. It is not uncommon for the route through the city to be a few minutes faster than the one via the Biebelried interchange, which is why popular navigation systems suggest this route. With the increasing availability of real-time routing systems, it stands to reason that this route is also being used more frequently by vehicles that might previously have been more likely to follow the signs on the highway. These vehicles place a strain on the urban transportation system, with all the well-known consequences (traffic jams, wait times, and strain on the environment and infrastructure).

Who can help us find a parking spot?

Simon Gredig,
Simon Gredig
Stadtrat und Departementsvorsteher Bau, Planung, Umwelt, Stadt Chur

In order to effectively manage individual mobility in the city of Chur, the availability of public and private parking spaces is a crucial factor. The city of Chur currently has no data on where and how many private parking spaces are available in Chur. We are seeking a smart methodology to map the existing parking spaces throughout the city and compile them into a usable dataset. In a second step, a model will be developed to analyze the demand for and the existing supply of parking spaces in such a way that, in the future, additional parking spaces will no longer have to be built mechanically according to a set formula for every new property.

Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Private Parking Spaces

Yasotharan Pakasathanan
Co-Founder und CEO, ampido

Many cities are grappling with a shortage of parking spaces. At the same time, numerous private parking spaces in underground garages, courtyards, and commercial areas remain unused for much of the day.

Using the Agnesviertel study as an example, the presentation highlights the potential of digital multi-use of private parking spaces. The results make it clear: The parking revolution does not necessarily begin with new construction, but rather with the more effective multi-use of existing spaces.

Spatially Differentiated Parking Space Allocation Formulas: FLEKS (Data-Driven Flexibilization of Municipal Parking Space Regulations) as a Planning Tool

Elias Pajares

Flat-rate parking space allocation formulas do not account for location-specific differences within the urban area. FLEKS combines various indicators on a 100×100-meter grid to determine parking demand, which is calibrated using actual vehicle ownership data. The base model aggregates infrastructure values into zones, while the project model incorporates project-specific factors such as apartment size and subsidized housing. Mobility concepts can be integrated into the new framework.

A Look Back at 2025

The networking conference“Innovations for the Mobility of the Future”offered an inspiring day full of ideas, discussion, and discoveries. More than 120 decision-makers and experts from research, industry, and startups gathered to collectively envision and actively shape the mobility transition.

The event focused on three thematic blocks:
Parking, Charging, and Sharing;
Innovations in Public Transportation; and
Smart Traffic Management.

Here are the key takeaways:
• Digitalization and connectivity make mobility more efficient and sustainable.
• The transformation process remains challenging—especially where urban and rural areas intersect.
• It is essential to make data visible today, connect infrastructure intelligently, and keep an eye on new business models.

The presentations and discussions made it clear: digitization and connectivity are making mobility more efficient and sustainable, but the transformation process remains challenging—especially where urban and rural areas intersect. (Bayern Innovativ) It became particularly clear just how important it is to make data visible today, to intelligently connect infrastructure, and to keep an eye on new business models.

Networking was a key part of the event: Targeted formats actively fostered exchange, ensuring that participants not only took away inspiration from the presentations but also forged concrete connections—ranging from partnerships and project ideas to follow-up discussions.

In the accompanying exhibitor and activity area, 12 exhibitors presented their solutions and concepts for the mobility of tomorrow. The City Rally was also very well received; it allowed municipalities to share their challenges and ideas and engage in direct competition and exchange with solution providers.

Overall, the day served as a powerful catalyst for the industry—with a focus on sustainable mobility, connected transportation systems, and forward-looking infrastructure. Many thanks to all participants, speakers, and exhibitors who brought this conference to life!
