Revolutionary mobility planning: DFG is promoting a new research project!

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved a new Collaborative Research Center entitled "Agimo: Data Drives Agile Planning for Responsible Mobility", which is created jointly by the TU Dresden, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the TU Berlin and other partners. Prof. Dr. Kai Nagel from the TU Berlin, Head of the Department of Transport System Planning and Traffic Education, will actively take part in this groundbreaking project. The aim is to develop data -based and agile planning for responsible mobility in order to meet the challenges of modern traffic. This area was extensively funded by the DFG and is part of a larger, coordinated program that aims to optimize mobility, as TU Berlin

The focus of Agimo is four central research goals: The first priority is the development of new methods for mobility planning, which include both data and models for mobility behavior. Second, new criteria for responsible mobility are defined, oriented towards the "4F principles": function, form, fairness and forever. Third, a digital twin is developed as an open source application to assimilate current mobility data across the network. Finally, the development of evidence -based future scenarios through participatory planning methods is another main goal of the research project.

interdisciplinary collaboration

Agimo is a multidisciplinary network that is based on the cooperation between technology and social sciences. This enables a comprehensive analysis of mobility needs and challenges from different perspectives. Prof. Dr. Klaus Bogenberger and Prof. Dr. Allister Loder from TUM are the supervising scientists of this project, which aims to create innovative and data -supported methods for mobility planning. In particular, the forecast and control of traffic flows will be improved to ensure that the interests of the road users are more balanced, such as tum emphasized.

The DFG has provided funds for the four -year funding period, which is set with a total volume of 12.7 million euros. Agimo is part of an initiative program that includes a total of 13 new special research areas. The funding will begin in October 2025 and initially run over three years and nine months, with the DFG supporting long -term research in Germany with around 177 million euros. The aim of this initiative is to create a strong basis for interdisciplinary and innovative research, which transforms the mobility sector sustainably, as the DFG explains on its website here .
