The focus is on developing and testing AI-supported solutions for linking mobility data, optimizing traffic flows, better organizing commuter traffic and more efficient networking of local public transport. The special feature: the project results should be transferable to small and medium-sized municipalities.
The two pilot cities therefore represent different challenges and offer ideal test environments for innovative approaches – Leipzig as an expanding city with over 600.000 inhabitants and Landau in der Pfalz as a medium-sized city with around 37,000 commuter movements every day.
AIAMO uses AI to systematically analyze and link mobility data and develop an AI database for innovative applications, such as:
- Intelligent traffic guidance systems: These react dynamically to current traffic conditions to avoid congestion and improve traffic flow.
- Mobility apps: They integrate offers from different modes of transport such as public transport, sharing services or bicycle transport and provide door-to-door route planning.
- Traffic forecasting: AI can make more precise predictions to manage traffic flows in a predictive manner.
- Environmental data monitoring networks: The collection and processing of data on air quality and emissions support climate-friendly decisions.
Leipzig will set up an environmental data monitoring network with 50 stations as part of the project, while Landau will use existing sensor technology along central traffic axes to test innovative control approaches.
The AIAMO project – which stands for “Artifical Intelligence And MObility” – is part of the German government’s AI strategy and is being supported by the BMDV with a total of 16.7 million euros. It aims to use mobility data efficiently in order to optimize traffic management in cities and rural regions, minimize CO2 emissions and at the same time improve the quality of life of citizens.
