Abstract

Urban areas encounter a number of particular challenges due to increasing numbers of residents and thus strongly growing traffic with motorized private transport. Along with this, pollution degrades air quality, traffic noise affects residents and parking spaces take up a large part of urban public space. We need intelligent solutions that offer an attractive alternative to the use of private cars. In our view, technology has the potential to solve some of our current mobility challenges, but it is not a solution per se. We claim that as a first step we must define what kind of cities we do consider worth living in, what kind of mobility enhances our quality of life. Right from the start of the development process, we further advocate a continuous analysis of the psychological and sociological effects of the planned changes. We therefore, would like to give an overview of the topics that research and development projects are currently dealing with in the area of human-technology interaction in Germany and show some exemplary projects, which started with the analysis of user needs and work on socio-technological innovations with user-centered processes.
