MOBILITIES for EU

Dresden as a laboratory of the future

Mobility transformation in the 'Ostragehege'

Entrance to the new Heinz Steyer Stadium in Dresden

The "MOBILITIES for EU" project is pioneering a testing ground for the mobility of the future in Dresden's Ostragehege and northern Friedrichstadt. In this versatile area, which combines sports facilities, the Flutrinne event venue and the Dresden trade fair center, the state capital is working with various partners to develop innovative solutions to improve transport and sustainability. The pilot projects include charging robots for innovative e-charging, highly automated driving and optimization of the power grid via a 5G network. In addition, an intermodal mobility concept is being implemented that increases safety for cyclists and pedestrians. With these measures, Dresden is taking on a leading role in urban mobility development and shaping the mobility of tomorrow. The OSTRA Labor in Heinz Steyer Stadium offers a place for the exchange and further development of these ideas.

Opening of the Ostra Laboratory in Dresden

The centrepiece of Dresden's participation in the EU project Mobilities for EU is the Ostra Laboratory for Urban Mobility located in the project area, which will open at Saturday, 31 August 2024.

Mission "100 climate-neutral and smart cities"

MOBILITIES for EU in the spirit of European climate neutrality

Graphic of Europe labelled 'co2-free 2050'

Europe is to become carbon neutral by 2050 - that is what the countries have agreed as part of the European Green Deal. Transport has a key role to play, as it is responsible for over 30% of total energy consumption in Europe and is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Against this background, the MOBILITIES for EU project has been launched to accelerate the transition to clean urban mobility in European cities. This is to be achieved through energy-efficient and user-oriented concepts for passenger and freight transport.

The pilot measures and results of the two EU projects Mobilities for EU and NEUTRALPATH are aimed at the Climate City Contract to be developed as part of the EU mission "100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030". This is an urban framework plan that describes what the path to climate neutrality could look like. The two EU projects are important building blocks for making this path concrete.

Objectives of the project

As part of the EU project Mobilities for EU, Dresden will carry out six pilot projects focussing on both passenger and freight mobility. These pilots include:

innovative and flexible e-charging via charging robots
infrastructure-assisted Automated Connected Driving through a Control Centre and Mobility Data Space
Development of traffic, transport and operator concepts and establishment of business models
Electrification and automation of the public bus fleet
Platform for services, data and components with open interfaces for dynamic functionality development and integration of partner applications
5G private communication network and power grid-based optimization and control

Partners

The MOBILITIES for EU project in Dresden is supported by these partners:

City of Dresden

Coordinates the project and facilitates interaction between local stakeholders. The city plays a key role in implementing the climate-neutral measures and integrating the results into urban planning.

Agency for Sports Facilities Dresden

Supports the implementation of the partners' pilot measures on site and offers space for the participation of the Dresden population in the "Ostra-Lab". The Agency for Sports Facilities Dresden develops own concepts for mobility and event management and implements its individual sub-projects in the Ostra sports park.

Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI

The main focus of Fraunhofer IVI in the project is development and prototype implementation of infrastructure assisted automated connected driving via digital infrastructure, control center and mobility data space technologies.

Volkswagen Group Innovation

Contributes technical expertise in the field of highly automated driving for passenger and freight transport. Volkswagen is developing and evaluating the introduction of the charging robot as an alternative to conventional charging points in the project area.

Technische Universität Dresden

As a key player in the "MOBILITIES for EU" project, TU Dresden is driving innovation in urban mobility. Leading the implementation of advanced 5G networks and bi-directional charging systems across two major pilots, TU Dresden is committed to advancing sustainability and climate neutrality.

Sächsische Energieagentur SAENA

Develops the so-called Urban Transportation Lab in Dresden, which defines measures for smart mobility solutions and stakeholder involvement. Furthermore, SAENA analyses social aspects by conducting surveys to scale up and replicate the mobility solutions.
