The Transport Research Arena<\/strong> is an international conference hosting over 3000 experts in the fields of science, industry and politics.
\nDiverse Topics ranging from future electromobility to self-driving cars and efficient sharing concepts were explored in over 100 sessions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Various interesting projects related to the research focus of MobINE were presented and discussed. One such project estimated the potential car-traffic reduction of a cable car in the city of Graz (Fabian Dorner, TU Wien). Whereas Dr. Anna Pernestal from KTH presented the adoption rate of a carsharing app in commuting. During the course of the conference, Dr. Merja Hoppe presented a poster about the key findings of the METPEX project<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

In addition to general networking and poster presentation, MobINE had the opportunity to get a private tour to the Seestadt Aspern<\/strong>, guided by Dr. Martin Berger and Christoph Kirchberger from the aspern mobil LAB<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seestadt Aspern integrates various aspects of a sharing economy and sustainable modes for transportation, creating a hub for a pioneer smart city. It Features participatory projects such as co-working spaces, shared facilities or real-life mobility Research. Further efforts are given to green parcel delivery, (Cargo)bike-sharing stations and an attractive integration of recreation and playing fields into the city streets.

A tangible game to understand the importance of networks and cause & effect relationships in mobility decisions?
\nMobINE further met Martina Jauschneg in Vienna where we got the opportunity to play the so-called Mobility Safari<\/strong> serious game. It is a project within the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe together with Play!UC, Green City Lab, University of Groningen and FH Hagenberg. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Players move their playing figure on the game board by rolling a dice and start or join mobility initiatives, develop new services and implement different Projects. In doing so, they collect coins (financial aspect), community points (social aspect) and CO2-reduction-points (environmental aspect).<\/p>\n

Main targets of the board game:<\/p>\n
