Our
MCube Consortium
We comprise a unique network of actors from the economy, society and academia in the Munich metropolitan region. Together we are working on sustainable solutions for the future of mobility in metropolitan regions.
Our Vision
Innovations for the mobility transition
The Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions (MCube) pursues the vision of establishing Munich as a pioneer for sustainable and transformative mobility innovations. MCube uses the unique geographical concentration of innovation actors in the mobility sector as a "learning region" to develop scalable solutions with model character for metropolitan regions in Germany and worldwide.
The cluster has the long-term potential to actively shape the mobility transformation beyond the region. Building upon existing cross-technology, interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations, MCube brings together key players from science, business and society to realize leap innovations with great economic impact and high solution potential for global challenges.
together - we can make - possible
together
stands for interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and cross-sector research, a strong network and participation within the region.
make
stands for courage for experimental and
innovative approaches, an
open culture of innovation and
a strong vision.
possible
stands for implementation orientation, the testing of innovations in living labs and the transfer of science into practice and business.
Our mission
MCube pursues an open and mission-driven culture of innovation, which allows for the implementation of the mission statement “innovations for the mobility transformation - together we can make change possible” which is an interplay of three missions: improving the quality of time, the quality of space and the quality of air.
Quality of time Quality of time refers, on the one hand, to the efficiency of the transport system, with a view on infrastructure capacities and traffic flow. On the other hand, it is about reliable and comfortable mobility between everyday locations.
Quality of space Quality of space refers to the impact of mobility innovation in public spaces and regional open spaces. The aim is to create diverse new recreational and exercise spaces that are accessible to the entire population.
Quality of the air refers to traffic-related environmental impacts. All projects in MCube hold to goal to reduce local air pollutants to support the overarching goal to reduce global CO2 emissions.2 einen Beitrag zu leisten.
Quality of time
Efficiency of the transportation system:
- Infrastructure capacities and traffic flow, punctuality, usability of time
- Reliable and convenient accessibility of everyday places for dwelling
- Reduction of effort (time, costs, comfort) and delays with multi-intermodality
- Improve site structure of the region, accessibility to workplaces
- Reduction of path lengths for selected path purposes
- Increase neighborhood-based bicycle and pedestrian traffic
- Flexibilization of mobility through individualization of public transport
- Accelerate the approval of tests and implementations
- Analyze and change the political and social framework for quality of time initiatives (e.g., awareness, dialogue, acceptance)
Quality of space
Impacts on public urban space and regional open space:
- Reduction of land consumption for transport infrastructure
- Space-saving networking of services
- Increasing the quality and duration of stay in the neighborhood
- Reduction of private vehicle ownership
- Reduction of the parking space demand in public areas
- Improve distribution of street space
- Improving road safety and social security
- Reduction of psychological and physical stress caused by traffic
- Analyze and change the political and social framework for quality of space initiatives (e.g., awareness, dialogue, acceptance)
Quality of the air
Environmental impact of transport:
- Reduction of CO2 emissions in everyday mobility, per vehicle miles traveled, per capita, per region
- Reduction of noise, local air pollution emissions per vehicle miles traveled (for all modes of transport)
- Reduction of local noise and air pollution (e.g. NOx, PM, ...) in neighborhoods
- Reduction of noise, local air pollutant emissions per vehicle km (all modes of transport)
- Reduction of overall vehicle emissions (Life Cycle Analysis, "Cradle to Cradle")
- Conservation of rare resources in production, operation and disposal of transport means
- Improve recycling and disposal measures for various means of transport.
- Analyze and change the political and social framework for air quality initiatives (e.g., awareness, dialogue, acceptance)
