Institute for Mobility and Life in Motion
The Institute for Mobility and Life in Motion (IMM) is a cross-faculty research institute at Munich University of Applied Sciences that focusses on sustainable mobility and technology of the future. By mobility aids we mean vehicles of all types of individual and public transport, as well as mobility planning and the effects on people and society.
Welcome to the IMM Institute! Founded in 2024, the IMM brings together ten professorships from the Faculties of Mechanical, Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering, Electrical Engineering andInformation Technology as well as Design. Thanks to this interdisciplinary collaboration, we develop mobility solutions that put people at the centre. With expertise ranging from vehicle dynamics and acoustics to accident research and design, we create pioneering approaches for the mobility of tomorrow - safe, sustainable and progressive.
We are conducting research in four key areas to shape the mobility of the future. We are optimising the use of means of transport through networked, intermodal mobility and autonomous vehicle technologies. Here, we are focussing on ergonomic interfaces and perception psychology for safe human-machine interaction. Resilient systems and autonomous aircraft swarms increase safety by reacting quickly to disruptions. In sustainability research, we focus on climate-neutral energy and the decarbonisation of transport in order to reduce emissions. This is how we contribute to the mobility of tomorrow.
We promote scientific collaborations by submitting joint applications for research projects on innovative mobility solutions and technologies. The exchange of knowledge and resources is central to this. We also work closely with companies to put new mobility solutions directly into practice. These partnerships enable the transfer of research results into real-life applications. The benefits include access to the latest research findings and the shared use of resources. Let's develop innovative technologies together and implement them successfully!
