The exemplary character of the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab as a pioneering mobility region will be strengthened at national and international level. The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion's (TRK) area of expertise in mobility is bundled and expanded together with the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) in the "UITP-Karlsruhe Mobility Innovation Partnership".
The "UITP-Karlsruhe Mobility Innovation Partnership" positions the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) internationally as a pioneer in the field of mobility. The unique TRK-UITP liaison office promotes cooperation, while the regional UITP training center offers insights into innovative solutions in public transport.
The signing of the partnership agreement in April 2019 between the UITP, "The International Association of Public Transport", TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH (TRK GmbH) and leading regional mobility stakeholders was the starting signal for the "UITP-Karlsruhe Mobility Innovation Partnership". The UITP, which is based in Brussels and has 1,900 member organizations from 100 countries, has concluded a cooperation agreement with TRK GmbH, thereby further intensifying its collaboration with local mobility players. It is a unique selling point of the Karlsruhe Mobility Lab, which is continuing to raise its international profile as a forward-looking mobility region with a high level of innovation expertise. The partnership is underpinned by a TRK-UITP liaison office in Karlsruhe, which is just as much a novelty as the regional UITP training center.
The liaison office serves to expand cooperation and represent common interests. It is supported by the combined strength of regional mobility expertise from business, science and public institutions. The founding partners are TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH:
As an interface between the UITP and TRK , a regional training center has been set up under the name UITP-Regional Training Centre Karlsruhe. At the UITP Regional Training Centre Karlsruhe, international mobility experts provide insights into important topics and current trends in the world of public transportation. Participants can, for example, get to know the solutions for traffic design and optimization from leading global companies such as INIT SE and the PTV Group or TTK and the Karlsruhe transport companies and familiarize themselves with the latest developments from the scientific institutions KIT, HKA and FZI in the field of networked and automated driving and alternative vehicle drives.
The UITP Regional Training Centre Karlsruhe regularly organizes training courses for public transport professionals. The training courses, which take place three times a year, cover a variety of topics including ticketing, bus planning and scheduling, cybersecurity, automated mobility and mobility as a service. The theoretical input from workshops is reinforced by on-site work shadowing, which in the past has included visits to important locations such as the Kombilösung, the Karlsruhe Transport Association control center and the Baden-Württemberg Autonomous Driving Test Field.
