A large number of research and development projects are currently in progress at the TUM Department of Architecture. The range of topics extends from sustainable fuel engines and autonomous vehicle systems to charging infrastructure design and air shuttles. A selection of current research highlights:
MCube - AQT
The project "Car-reduced neighborhoods for a livable city" deals with the question of how urban mobility must be designed in the neighborhood in order to be able to counter the climate emergency or social equality.
The MOS Department Chairs of Traffic Engineering and Control, Urban Structure and Transport Planning, Transportation Systems Engineering and Automotive Technology are participating in this research project.
MCube - COLTOC
COLTOC (Collaborative Traffic Optimization and Control) is an optimization approach that explicitly targets delays caused by irregular traffic phenomena.
The MOS Department Chairs of Traffic Engineering and Control and Transportation Systems Engineering are participating in this research project.
MCube - ComfficientShare
The goal of the ComfficientShare project is to develop, implement and test shared charging and electrified car sharing solutions at the neighborhood level.
The MOS Department Chair of Automotive Technology is participating in this research project.
DUT - COMMON_ACCESS
The primary goal of the project COMMON_ACCESS is to explore the idea of ‘Commoning accessibility’ and examine how it can be implemented in suburban and urban peripheral areas.
The MOS Department Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning is participating in this research project.
MI-TRAP
The project MI-TRAP aims to quantify the environmental and health impacts of transport pollution using a bottom-up dose-response framework.
The MOS Department Chair of Chair of Transportation Systems Engineering is participating in this research project.
OBACHT
OBACHT (Smart Public Transport Infrastructure Control System) explores the future of automated and connected public transport in cities by developing an AI-supported control system to manage safety-critical situations.
The MOS Department Chair of Verkehrstechnik is participating in this research project.
MCube - SASIM
Smart Advisor for Sustainable Integrated Mobility is a part of the MCube research cluster and deals with a full cost perspective on urban transport.
The MOS Department Chairs of Transportation Systems Engineering, Traffic Engineering and Control and Urban Structure and Transport Planning are participating in this research project.
MCube - STEAM
The project STEAM aims at analyzing and designing future utilization concepts of vehicles for passenger as well as cargo transport in a integrated and user-centered way.
The MOS Department Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control is participating in this research project.
MCube - Test Intersection
The Test Intersection project is a part of the MCube Research Cluster and deals with urban automated and connected driving.
The MOS Department Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control is participating in this research project.
