Topics & Projects

A large number of research and development projects are currently in progress at the TUM Department of Architecture. The range of topics extends from sustainable fuel engines and autonomous vehicle systems to charging infrastructure design and air shuttles. A selection of current research highlights:

Electrify and Automate Transportation Systems

MCube - Test Intersection

The Test Intersection project is a part of the MCube Research Cluster and deals with urban automated and connected driving.

The MOS Department Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control is participating in this research project.

MCube - ComfficientShare

The goal of the ComfficientShare project is to develop, implement and test shared charging and electrified car sharing solutions at the neighborhood level.

The MOS Department Chair of Automotive Technology is participating in this research project.

Develop and Integrate Mobility Options

MCube - SASIM

Smart Advisor for Sustainable Integrated Mobility is a part of the MCube research cluster and deals with a full cost perspective on urban transport.

The MOS Department Chairs of Transportation Systems Engineering,  Traffic Engineering and Control and Urban Structure and Transport Planning are participating in this research project.

MCube - STEAM

The project STEAM aims at analyzing and designing future utilization concepts of vehicles for passenger as well as cargo transport in a integrated and user-centered way.

The MOS Department Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control is participating in this research project.

Connect Locations and Design Mobility Spaces

MCube - AQT

The project "Car-reduced neighborhoods for a livable city" deals with the question of how urban mobility must be designed in the neighborhood in order to be able to counter the climate emergency or social equality.

The MOS Department Chairs of Traffic Engineering and Control,  Urban Structure and Transport PlanningTransportation Systems Engineering and Automotive Technology are participating in this research project.

MCube - COLTOC

COLTOC (Collaborative Traffic Optimization and Control) is an optimization approach that explicitly targets delays caused by irregular traffic phenomena.

The MOS Department Chairs of Traffic Engineering and Control and Transportation Systems Engineering are participating in this research project.
