Dialog on mobility of the future at Ingolstadt Science Gallery

[Translate to Englisch:] Simulator

What expectations do citizens have for the mobility of the future? What if cars in Ingolstadt could drive autonomously tomorrow? And what contribution can elaborate simulations make to ensuring greater safety and efficiency as well as lower emissions in the future? Such questions are now the focus of a new exhibition at the Ingolstadt Science Gallery that offers plenty of opportunity for everybody to try things out and get involved. In the middle of the pedestrian zone, citizens will have the opportunity to find out more about the topic of "Traffic of the future – networked and automated mobility to support sustainable urban development" and to contribute their opinion.

The exhibition is part of the research project "SAVeNoW", in which a so-called digital twin of Ingolstadt was developed to simulate future mobility scenarios. Gerhard Stanzl from Audi AG and project manager of SAVeNoW emphasizes that the digital twin can not only be used for testing autonomous driving systems, but should also support cities in shaping their mobility concepts in the future. The Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU), as the project partner, took the lead in developing the dialog platform in the Science Gallery in order to specifically obtain the perspective of citizens.

In the middle of Ingolstadt's pedestrian zone, the Science Gallery invites citizens to find out more on the mobility of the future and to play an active role in shaping it.

Prof. Dr. Jens Hogreve, holder of the Chair of Service Management at the KU, explains: "A sustainable development of mobility must deliberately take into account the opinions of the citizens. With our exhibition, we want to encourage people in Ingolstadt to help shape future urban planning."

Specifically, the exhibition explains the simulation tool, the Digital Twin of Ingolstadt. It is described in detail how this is created and which data are necessary for implementation. Among other things, it presents real-time data on the current traffic situation in Ingolstadt. Visitors can view selected what-if simulations for traffic in Ingolstadt in individual videos. Not only social acceptance but also the requirements of users and their well-being play a key role for the development of automated mobility. That is why guests at the Science Gallery can, among other things, board and explore a virtual autonomously driving shuttle. Also on offer is a driving simulator where you can test how it feels to be on the road in an autonomous vehicle. Throughout the exhibition, citizens will be given the opportunity to write down what they think on Post-its or letters.

Ingolstadt's Science Gallery is located at Ludwigstrasse 39 and is open Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Until the end of July. School classes are also welcome to visit the exhibition after prior registration by e-mail to info(at)savenow.de. For more detailed information on the project, please visit www.savenow.de.
