What is EXPERI?
EXPERI is a project which investigates the transition of urban mobility.
The common focus of our interdisciplinary team is Berlin’s mobility law as an example of the challenge of making urban mobility sustainable and beneficial to everyone. Our overarching aim is to improve conditions for cycling, walking, and using public transport. This transition process presents the field of sustainability research with new opportunities to explore urban mobility. The EXPERI team is seizing this opportunity to advance the urgently needed changes in mobility along with our partners from administration, society, and economy.
Since 2019, our EXPERI research group in Berlin has been scientifically monitoring and analyzing the “transport transition as a social-ecological real-life experiment”. The focus of our interdisciplinary group is on the social and spatial aspects of urban mobility. In our collection of ideas “Impulses for the urban transport transition”, you will find brief insights into key research findings and a total of 18 proposals for the future design of transformation processes in the area of mobility and transport.
The Expert Advisory Council for Climate Protection in Mobility advised the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport during the 20th legislative period. At the meeting on 14 June, an intensive exchange took place with Federal Minister Dr. Wissing, which resulted in suggestions for further work on climate protection in transport, particularly with regard to acceptance, behaviour, communication and quality of life.
Every week, Klimazeit provides background reports, discusses the latest climate research findings with experts, explains everything worth knowing about the climate in elaborate graphic animations, scrutinizes political decisions and shows constructive examples of what consumers, companies and local authorities can do to save the climate.
Real-world experiments have become popular in urban planning and mobility research. But what contribution can they make to a sustainable and equitable transport transition? A new study shows where real-world labs fall short.
Organised by the EXPERI research group, the symposium “The Transport Transition: Rethinking Urban Space" opened on 6 October 2022 at Place of Participation – a pop-up venue on Kurfürstendamm – attended by almost 100 guests and the EXPERI team.
The 10% share of motorised private transport (MIV) calculated in the 2050 scenario (incl. car sharing, taxis, etc.) must have 100% alternative drive systems. This vision is supported at the municipal level in particular with subsidies for charging infrastructure for electric automobility. This long-term scenario illustrates that electric mobility, along with other alternative drive technologies, is seen as a key to achieving a decarbonised and sustainable transport system. Against this background, this article examines how the efforts to attain a 10% rate of motorised private transport in Berlin are currently distributed spatially.
This blog post examines whether there is a correlation between car ownership and the socio-economic situation of residents in Berlin. To this end, the car ownership rate (cars per 100 inhabitants) is compared with the socio-economic status at the level of 436 lifeworld-oriented areas (LOR).
Younger children up to the age of 9 are most frequently killed as passengers in cars; children aged 10 - 14 are most frequently killed on bicycles, but in 2019 most children were killed as pedestrians. Unsurprisingly, walking to school is particularly dangerous for children.
Due to the continuing population growth in large cities and the associated redensification of inner-city areas, there is an increasing lack of green and open spaces in many urban neighbourhoods and public space is becoming a scarce resource. Therefore, the question arises as to which areas in the city can be transformed into meeting places so that the social function of public spaces is strengthened.
