Centre for pioneering mobility development

The Karlsruhe Mobility Lab will be at IT-TRANS – and hosting live pitches for the Future Mobility Award


Karlsruhe-born innovations will be united at the joint stand of the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab (dm-arena/Stand Y3), where mobility stakeholders from the region will be providing information on topics ranging from better transport connections between urban and rural areas, to on-demand transport and autonomous driving. In addition to an extensive programme of presentations at the stand, visitors will be able to test and explore a range of exciting new mobility solutions throughout all three days. Partners of the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab include KIT, KAMO: Karlsruhe Mobility High Performance Center, the FZI Research Centre for Information Technology, and the German Centre for Future Mobility. Highlights at the stand include a lecture forum with numerous exciting presentations and project insights, live pitches for the Future Mobility Award (15 May, 10am) and a Market Update Forum (15 May, 11am-noon, Market Update Forum B).

The following projects will be presented at the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab stand:


  • The German Centre for Mobility of the Future (DZM), an alliance of Karlsruhe, Hamburg, Minden and Annaberg-Buchholz in the field of mobility, will be presenting lighthouse projects such as on-demand shuttle transport and two-way vehicles for rail.
  • The Innovation Campus Mobility of the Future (ICM) will demonstrate how cloud technology can be used to implement scalable solutions and improved functionalities for networked vehicles, and optimise energy efficiency during operation.
  • The KAMO: Karlsruhe Mobility High Performance Centre will present concepts for autonomous driving and intermodal transport.
  • The FZI Research Centre for Information Technology uses smart bus stops as an example of how existing urban infrastructure can support the operation of automated shuttles. Both the bus stop and vehicle are equipped with sensors whose data is used by Artificial Intelligence to not only increase the safety of road users, but also improve scalability of automated and networked vehicles in the traffic environment.
  • The aim of regioKArgo is to develop a sustainable, holistic logistics concept for the Karlsruhe region. The LogIKTram, URBANE and regioKArgoTramTrain projects will be presented at the stand and are set to go into regular operation.
  • The joint mobility portal of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion and the City of Karlsruhe offers comprehensive information on mobility issues in Baden, the Southern Palatinate and Northern Alsace. The platform provides free and mostly real-time data on motor vehicle and cycle traffic, public transport and multimodal mobility.

The Karlsruhe Mobility Lab of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) represents a unique ecosystem in which science, business, the public sector and innovative transport companies work hand in hand. Together, they develop interdisciplinary solutions for the mobile world of tomorrow which are then put into practice, analysed and tested. Thanks to its partners, the lab is a globally recognised centre for the development of intelligent concepts for future urban and regional mobility.
