The coming decades will be ones of profound change for our cities: not only do they have to deal with spiraling populations, there are the challenges posed by climate change, demographic shifts, rising living standards and a scarcity of natural resources to confront too. That is why the city is the key testing ground for innovative technologies and intelligent ideas for sustainable development – and why cities represent one of the largest future markets overall.
As a key component of tomorrow’s sustainable, life-enhancing cities, mobility too will undergo a fundamental overhaul. Workable mobility concepts for the cities of the future will arise once we go beyond conventional technologies and services.
The Mobility and Urban Systems Engineering (MUSE) business unit brings together around 40 employees, including engineers, urban planners, computer scientists, economists and sociologists. This interdisciplinary team works together to develop dynamic system solutions geared toward mobility and the cities of the future.
Our work focuses on the following topics:
We design mobility and urban systems for industry and the public sector. As scientists working in applied research, we are always keen to work alongside industry and cities to develop our solutions to full maturity and to test them in practice.
