Urban Mobility Living Labs

Cooperation as Key Success Factor

Main players within the research field are the partnering cities of Linz, Wels and Steyr. The laboratory puts a substantial focus on economic activities and topics. Thereby, regional interest representatives (The Austrian Industry Association, Association of Network Logistics, Technology and Innovation Center Steyr, Research and Training Centre for Work and Technology - FAZAT, IFAU Institut für Angewandte Umweltbildung) embody important actors. From a scientific as well as a technical prospect, the project team is able to rely on a comprehensive national and international network (e.g. Austrian Institute of Technology, evolaris next level GmbH, University Nuremburg & Braunschweig, Wuppertal Institute).

Mobile Innovation Space

The research team is currently working on establishing a so-called 'mobile innovation space' that offers appropriate application in an indoor and outdoor context. In contrast to standardized 'laboratory-experiments' the underlying concept will be applied in a real-life context. Within this frame, Design-Thinking is used as the related methodology to trigger innovation (including real-life experiments and/or prototyping and impact analysis regarding urban mobility).
