Workshops
Tuesday, 19th March 2024 to Thursday, 21th March 2024 at the Kollegiengebäude Mathematik (Bldg. 20.30)
Up to 30 workshops are offered over three days, in which the participants have the opportunity to learn more about selected specialist areas of sustainable agriculture - from innovative cultivation methods to climate-friendly cafeterias to ethical questions in and about agriculture.
Participants are required to attend 3 workshops during the Spring Academy Sustainability. Please note that most of the workshops will be conducted in German. Soon the entire offer of the workshops will be published here.

For transport and mobility to function and develop further, the social framework conditions must also be considered: What is the state of acceptance and dissemination of new mobility concepts? What are the individual motives for mobility and what can we learn from this for the actual demand for means of transportation? Transportation policy, business models, legal systems and scientific communication therefore also play a decisive role in shaping sustainable and inclusive mobility for the future.
The "Infrastructure and Transport" category deals with the planning, development and optimization of transport networks and physical infrastructure to ensure efficient and sustainable public transport systems. It includes topics such as the coupling of different sectors, the control and optimization of traffic flows and the provision of logistics services to meet the needs of society and the economy.
Digitalization in all areas of mobility is of crucial importance: it is driving the development of AI methods, the guarantee of reliable and secure software, the modelling of secure systems, the quality of software systems and the traceability of data. Progress in this area is essential to make mobility more efficient, secure and sustainable. At the same time, development must be able to keep pace with increasing security and data protection requirements.
The "Technology and Innovation" category deals with the challenge of using scarce resources efficiently while at the same time meeting increasing economic and social demands. The spectrum ranges from new product profiles and functions to innovative architectures and technologies that make mobility more sustainable and effective.
Workshop-Slot 1: Dienstag, 19. März 2024, 8:45-12:45 Uhr
 |
Titel: | Exploring transport policies for a sustainable mobility system |
| Dozierende: | Dr. Eckhard Szimba | |
| Institution: | Lehrstuhl für Netzwerkökonomie (KIT) | |
| Beschreibung: | In the introductory part of the Workshop, the participants will learn about some key challenges in the transport sector, and about determinants of transport demand and mode choice. Furthermore, an overview of different types of transport policy measures will be provided. Finally, the participants will get insights in impact chains of policy measures and their potentially contrary effects on the different dimensions of sustainability (environment, society, economy). In the interactive part, the participants are split into two groups, one group dealing with urban passenger mobility, the other with European international passenger mobility. With respect to the corresponding transport market, each group will discuss and develop policy packages which are deemed appropriate to address key challenges of mobility, while respecting all dimensions of sustainability. Finally, the developed concepts will be presented and discussed with all workshop participants. |

Titel: | CANCELED Driving Change: Navigating the Future with AVs integrated in MaaS/Intelligent Transport System (ITS) - A Workshop on Revolutionizing Transportation |
| Dozierende: | Charly Beye, Nicole van den Boom | |
| Institution: | Hochschule Pforzheim | |
| Beschreibung: | The workshop explores how Autonomous Vehicles (AV) integrated in a MaaS and later in an ITS System can revolutionize transportation without a coercive policy, highlighting benefits like reduced traffic, increased safety, improved service offer alongside challenges such as regulatory hurdles and public perception. We delve into technological integration, emphasizing the role of data and governance. Further, we will consider user experience, social impacts, public transportation integration, and sustainability. We give insights and lessons learned from the AVENUE project that tested AVs in European pilot sites and explain how the follow-up project ULTIMO aims to further investigate this topic. Participants engage in an interactive workshop, designing AV in MaaS/ITS solutions from diverse stakeholder perspectives to promote AVs as a complementary public transport service and encourage the shift towards sustainable mobility. | |

Titel: | Diversity on the move - Shaping socially sustainable mobility |
| Dozierende: | Dr. Ines Kawgan-Kagan | |
| Institution: | AEM Institute | |
| Beschreibung: | We are not all the same! And we don´t move the same way! So why should mobility services conform to an average that doesn't suit most of us? This workshop sheds light on the social aspects of sustainable mobility. Mobility services should be accessible, equitable and socially fair. To achieve this, it is necessary to recognise and take into account different mobility patterns, needs and abilities. The basics and background to these differences in our mobility are conveyed on the basis of diversity factors such as age, gender, income or health. Requirements of different groups of people are then determined using a specific intersectional approach. Elaborated profiles are then used to analyse a specific mobility offer in an inclusive and socially sustainable way. |

Workshop-Slot 3: Donnerstag, 21. März 2024, 8:45-12:45 Uhr
|
Titel: | CANCELED Real-world laboratories for autonomous vehicles: Towards a more sustainable and integrative (campus) mobility? |
| Dozierende: | Dr. Annika Weiser, Dr. Tim Fraske | |
| Institution: | Institut für Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse (KIT) | |
| Beschreibung: |
This workshop critically discusses the role of autonomous vehicles (AV) as an integrative element of a sustainable mobility system of the future. We will deal with this question by using on-campus and between-campus mobility in Karlsruhe as a concrete example. The workshop can be held in English if there are any non-German speaking participants applying. Otherwise (with a German-only group), we would switch to German. |

Titel: | Revolutionizing Automated Vehicles Validation: Simulations, Gamification, and the Future of Safe Mobility |
| Dozierende: | Majid Jegarian, Jonas Freyer | |
| Institution: | Produktentwicklung und Antriebssysteme (KIT) | |
| Beschreibung: |
In light of the escalating automation in vehicles, the interaction complexity between vehicles and their surrounding systems is evolving into a System of Systems (SoS). Validating such systems, especially their intricate interactions, poses a formidable challenge in the development of automated vehicles (AVs). The workshop addresses this challenge by emphasizing the identification and analysis of critical driving scenarios during the design phase, crucial for ensuring the safety and acceptance of AVs. Workshop Objectives:
By participating in our workshop, attendees will gain valuable knowledge about the existing methods employed in AV validation and witness firsthand how simulation, particularly our gamification-based approach, can revolutionize the validation process. |
