The Competence Centre Mobility and Transport (MoVe) conducts research on technological and infrastructural solutions for mobility offers and mobility behaviour. In addition, research is being conducted on the road construction materials of the future and on novel road use concepts such as shared spaces.

The impulse to establish the competence centre resulted from the expansion of research activities in the field of mobility. Further applications for third-party funded projects in this area are continuously being written.

The speaker of the competence center is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lutz Gaspers.

The development of MoVe

MoVe has developed from various projects in the field of mobility and traffic. Since 2018, several projects have already been stabilized. In 2019, the "New Mobility" specialist group was founded at the HFT. In 2020, it could be converted into the newly created MoVe.

The MoVe relies on an interdisciplinary composition of its members from the fields of civil engineering, business psychology, infrastructure management, mechanical engineering, smart cities and urban planning, industrial engineering, business informatics and computer science. Important topics are the reduction of emissions, the increase of traffic safety, the expansion of electric mobility, the connection of rural areas, the increase of the attractiveness of urban areas, the digitalisation of mobility and sustainable operating strategies of transport infrastructures.
