With the launch of the MiC app as part of the TU Night 2018, the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism ISU in cooperation with 1KLANG® - a PROJEKTIONISTEN® GmbH brand, has reached a milestone in the joint research and development of future mobility. MiC is a new instrument for collecting data from citizens who can make it available for mobility research. MiC combines the growing awareness and the need for digital civil rights with the potential to enable new forms of human-centered development of cities and mobility by evaluating large amounts of data.

MiC is a result of research in the context of the joint project “Data4UrbanMobility” - funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF. More information at www.data4urbanmobility.org.

Everyone is a researcher who can discover and change the world with us. The city of the future is characterized by low-barrier access to mobility and accessibility for everyone. The holistic approach of the researchers at ISU and those involved in the project looks at the city on different levels and brings together intelligent planning - such as the 5-minute city -, urban planning and innovative technologies. For a comprehensive understanding of individual mobility and the new methods and tools for integrated traffic and urban planning that build on it, we lack extensive and detailed data on how and by what routes we move around the city.

With the mobile application MiC we would like to invite everyone to actively participate as citizen scientists in the research and development of mobility for everyone in the city of the future. MiC collects - controlled by the users - data on routes and modes of transport. This data is pseudonymised so that it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about the respective person. The number of users is important - not the individual movement.
With MiC, everyone has the opportunity to change their own city.
