Tourism is a key economic factor in the Lusatian region. Currently, there is a lack of possibilities for data-supported traffic control, data platforms and services for tourists and locals as well as demand-oriented alternatives to motorized private transport. To ensure the acceptance of alternative forms of mobility, it is necessary to implement them across transit districts and states and to link them intermodally with conventional public transport. In this way, it is also possible to ensure effectiveness and cost efficiency.

The aim of the project is to develop a viable, transferable concept for increasing the attractiveness, sustainability and economic efficiency of tourism in the Lusatian mining region through intelligent, intermodal, cross-border, demand-driven mobility solutions. A measurable reduction of motorized individual transport (MIV) in favor of intelligent intermodal travel chains combining existing public transport, MIV, smart parking, on-demand transport and micromobility is targeted.

Through the synthesis of demand and traffic requirements of tourist traffic as well as the study of everyday mobility, concepts for digital traffic control, parking management as well as traffic models of intermodal traffic are developed. Models for routing on-demand transport in Lusatia will make it possible to identify concrete mobility offers that will make people in tourist hotspots increasingly less dependent on private cars.
