 | Time runs fast and therewith the time searching for smart city solutions for a better mobility in urban areas. There are just three days left for every interested person or Start-Up to submit their innovative and sustainable solution within the Smart Mobility Solutions Contest. Closing time will be: Friday, the 31st of July, end of day. |
By now we count more than 60 solutions, separated in existing innovative products from companies and many well thought visions from private persons. All have the potential of improving or revolutionizing Munich’s and other metropolitan cities' mobility. For the last time I am presenting one idea from each category: company and private person.
As you might have seen already it is not going to be an easy decision for the jury members. On the 6th of August, mobility and innovation experts from MAN, the City of Munich, MVG, m+p e-Mobility, Siemens, Fraunhofer IAO and the innovative publishing house Capscovil will have to decide who the winners will be.
To boost your motivation in making the most of the last 3 days and submit or improve your contribution, we remind you what prizes you can win:
*For the participants that cannot pick-up their prizes in Munich, we offer an Amazon voucher in value of 100 €
**IAA - International Motor Show

Wearable for Elderly Mobility - “Why does Smart Mobility have to be about vehicles?” – by Kate
Wearable for Elderly Mobility - “Why does Smart Mobility have to be about vehicles?” – by Kate
Most elderly people have regular routines and a small number of places they need to go to. But, things like road routes, changes to bus routes and times can be very confusing and difficult to communicate to them. This idea is for a very simple watch device that the elderly just need to charge.
The watch interface has a choice of up to 6 journeys that the elderly user regularly takes. This information can be entered online remotely into a website by the elderly person’s family members or friends for them. On the day the elderly person clicks they are given simple arrow commands with number of footsteps. Additionally they are given advices on buses/trams/underground routes to take and distance to stop, e.g. First alert - Bus 50, Direction: Berlin Zentrum, 20 steps ahead; Second alert - Get off 5 in stops, Stop: Hermengasse
The app will update the instructions based on any planned road works; regular and unexpected changes to bus routes, delays etc.; and information from Waze and other crowdsourced platforms. So, the elderly person does not need to know the latest bus, train or subway timetable. As an add-on, if the person regularly goes to the Doctors and/or the same supermarket, the opening hours of these places could be integrated into the wearable.

Scrooser - move ahead. The unique mobility solution for the urban, environmentally conscious individual.

Scrooser is Lifestyle with pioneering spirit. As a completely new vehicle category, Scrooser fulfills all demands of modern mobility in the urban environment and puts it in a nutshell. Its design is reduced to the bare essentials. The heart of the Scrooser is an electric motor (up to 1,000 W) that is integrated into the back wheel which makes it invisible for the viewer. Best of all, the team developed the intelligent impulse drive. Similar to a Pedelec, but without the pedals, the engine remembers the physical “kick-impulse” of the rider and supports him according to that. Scrooser is allowed to be driven on the sidewalk and you don’t need a driver license or a helmet. The hand-made product delights all senses distinctively but without being intrusive.
