Karlsruhe Mobility Lab – experience mobility up close

Exciting concepts are being devised and tested in Karlsruhe that make mobility more comfortable, networked and largely CO₂-neutral, and that focus on people and their individual needs. A unique network of science, industry, politics and transport companies makes Karlsruhe a competence centre for digitization and mobility that is recognized throughout Germany and Europe.

Find out how regiomove is used to implement digitally linked mobility for an extended urban area. Experience how autonomous shuttles connect remote settlement areas to public backbone traffic or how an intelligent link between passenger and goods traffic can be created.
