  • The research project “25th Hour – Flow” simulates the traffic flow in Ingolstadt
  • The future of urban mobility: people will have more time, cities more space
  • Melanie Goldmann, #audi Trend Communication: “Autonomous cars, services, and networked infrastructure reduce traffic jams and road space”

Ingolstadt/San Francisco, 18 September 2018 – How much time will we save in a city with autonomous cars, ride sharing and smart traffic management? Answers are given by the #audi study “25th Hour – Flow”.

Partnering with the traffic experts at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and the Munich consultancy MobilityPartners, the research simulated the future of mobility in Ingolstadt/Germany. According to the study, a lasting reduction in travel times can be achieved on a typical commute: in fully automated traffic by one third, even though over ten percent more people are on the road. The prerequisite is that the trend towards sharing takes hold.

Fleets of self-driving cars will help to solve traffic problems in cities in the long term. These benefits become even more apparent when coupled with smarter traffic management and a higher occupancy rate, i.e. increasing the average number of persons per car.
