Stephan Rammler is Professor of Transportation Design & Social Sciences at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig and since October 2018 Scientific Director of the IZT – Institute for Future Studies and Technology Assessment. He, is also the founder of the Institute for Transportation Design (ITD) with mobility and futurology as its focal points. He received the 2016 ZEIT Prize “Courage for Sustainability” for his work on environmentally friendly transportation, in the category Knowledge.

We spoke with Professor Rammler about researching the future, the concept of mobility in general, and current events and their significance for a possible new understanding of mobility.

Michael Wurm is Director of Mobility Analytics & Consulting at ioki and brings 15 years of expertise in traffic planning & traffic modeling and his enthusiasm for data driven analysis to the table. He, is convinced that new mobility offers can only be successful with the right analytical derivation. Michael has been with ioki almost from the beginning. Growing up in the countryside, he has always been concerned with the question of how a life can function without a car – especially in rural areas. He, can therefore identify very well with ioki’s vision.

Today, he talks to us about the importance of new mobility solutions for existing systems, important issues in integrating new services and the power of data.
