In a multidisciplinary consortium of Social Sciences, Economics and Engineering, researchers from the three UA Ruhr universities are investigating the question of how mobility in the Ruhr region can be made sustainable.
The project, funded by the NRW Transport Ministry, will develop a concept for integrated, sustainable mobility for the University Alliance Ruhr and test it in a field trial.
The aim is to improve the transport links between the four locations of the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr), Duisburg, Essen, Bochum and Dortmund, to close gaps in the range of services on offer and thus bring about a lasting change in the mobility behaviour of students and employees alike.
The plan is to survey mobility requirements and develop scenarios which are to be tested in a simulator and finally tried out in real life. In the process, locally emission-free technologies, e.g. electric shuttles, but also on-demand services and other forms of new mobility will be used.
