Projects

The ATMo2 project (incentive-based transformation and modeling of mobility behavior) of the two Ruhr area universities of Duisburg-Essen and Dortmund is developing and testing low-investment options for an incentive-based change in mobility behavior. The effectiveness of different measures is being researched, i.e. the question of which forms of incentives ("nudges") work for which population groups and in what way. This will help to develop instruments for gentle behavioral control that are not only effective (in terms of climate protection) and economically viable, but are also accepted by those affected.

The DIONA research project pursues the goal of developing a digital hub for the circular economy for stakeholders from science, business, associations, social partners and committees using a multidisciplinary approach, thus enabling SMEs in particular to participate in circular value creation.

The UbiTrans project aims to support citizens in dealing with web-based content and to enable them to make self-determined, effective and informed decisions regarding privacy and the information they consume.

In KonCheck, a tool is being developed that can contextualize and check politically relevant information on the Internet, thereby promoting the democratic participation of vulnerable groups in particular. The technical development of the tool is framed by a broad social and communication science program, through which target group-specific needs and challenges are identified, acceptance is promoted and the effects of the tool's use are examined.

The MoMeEnT research project aims to model the different levels of the complex socio-technical energy supply system using multi-agent approaches.
This project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

InnaMoRuhr is a multidisciplinary project of the three UA Ruhr universities that are investigating the question of how mobility in the Ruhr region can be made sustainable. The project will develop a concept for integrated, sustainable mobility for the University Alliance Ruhr and test it in practice in a field trial.
This project is funded by the Ministry of Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

The MoFFa project explores the question of what human-machine interaction in intelligent, (partially) autonomous vehicles could look like.
The project was funded by the NRW Ministry of Transport.

The ABIDA project examined the social risks and opportunities arising from current developments in the field of big data. In particular, it focused on the factors of trust, real-time control and technology assessment.
The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The aim of the KoRiSim project was to create the basis for cooperative information and risk management in electricity grids of the future.
The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It was carried out in cooperation with the Institute for Energy Systems, Energy Efficiency and Energy Economics at TU Dortmund University and Dortmunder Netz GmbH (DEW21).

The TraDiLog project investigated the effects of mechanization and digitalization on mobile work in freight forwarding and logistics companies.
This project was funded by the Research Institute for Social Development.

In the DiscGo project, technology policy decisions relating to the phase-out of established technologies (e.g. nuclear power, cars with combustion engines) are analyzed in order to gain a better understanding of the governance of the dismantling of socio-technical systems.
The project was funded by the German Research Foundation.

The RisCSIM research project used computer simulations to investigate how the type of control affects the safety performance of a complex system. This should contribute to a better understanding and analysis of the control and control role of complex systems such as air traffic, energy systems or road traffic.
RisCSIM was funded by the Fondation pour une Culture de Sécurité Industrielle, touliuse, france.

AktOr is a joint project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the "KMU-innovativ" funding guideline. The project involves the development of a training simulation for faster crisis management.
