"We are delighted to receive this award, which is an accolade for everyone involved. The award gives us additional momentum for our ambitious project," emphasised project initiator Prof. Dr. Thomas Tröster, holder of the Chair of Lightweight Automotive Design at Paderborn University and member of the NeMo.bil consortium, and Jonathan Behm, Managing Director of Neue Mobilität Paderborn e. V., at the German government's digital summit in Frankfurt/Main.
Innovative mobility concept for rural regions
The NeMo.bil project is about a swarm-like mobility concept as an alternative and supplement to traditional local public transport. The participants are developing a completely new type of mobility system for the often forgotten rural regions. Through a disruptive approach, this system achieves a previously unrealisable level of energy and resource efficiency. NeMo.bil offers an on-demand service that is even more convenient than the private car and therefore represents a real alternative in rural regions.
The central role of TH OWL in the NeMo.bil project
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Büker, Deputy Head of inIT, is leading the work package for the development of the automated driving function. Here, in close cooperation with other project partners, the safety requirements are defined, the sensors are integrated into the vehicles and the software for autonomous driving is developed.
Strong partner network for a new mobility
The consortium of the NeMo.bil project consists of the following project partners: Aspens GmbH, AVANCO Composites GmbH, BULIGHT GmbH, CADFEM Germany GmbH, CP Tech GmbH, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR), dSPACE GmbH, FIWARE Foundation e.V., HOLON GmbH, INYO Mobility GmbH, LIA GmbH, Neue Mobilität Paderborn e.V., PHOENIX CONTACT E-Mobility GmbH, Poppe + Potthoff GmbH, Reisewitz GmbH & Co KG, Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Paderborn University, Berlin Science Centre and the Technical University of Dortmund.
The future of mobility between urban and rural areas
Neue Mobilität Paderborn e. V. has set itself the goal of taking a holistic approach to mobility concepts, vehicle systems, energy generation and digitalisation. More than 70 network partners have come together in the association to rethink mobility between urban and rural areas. The association sees itself as an initiator of projects that contribute to the common goal.
