The Participatory Living Lab for Innovative Mobility Management with App-based Incentives (PRIMA) tests new and creative methods to improve the conditions for using sustainable mobility options for employees and students at TUM. In addition to app-based incentives like gamification and information systems, we are testing how your participation in decision-making on new mobility measures directly impacts environmentally friendly behavior. This gives you not only the chance to reduce CO₂ emissions but also to help shape the future of mobility at TUM in the long term.

In PRIMA, two measure will be implemented at TUM: A mobility experiment with app-based incentives and participatory budgeting. In the mobility experiment, participants' travel behavior is recorded for various digital measures using a tracking app, and the effects are analyzed. One approach is to provide participants with targeted information on the emissions generated per trip and more sustainable mobility alternatives. Alternatively, a digital incentive system is examined as a gamification approach.

Through Participatory Budgeting - a process that allows community members to have a say in how available financial resources are allocated - the project aims to actively involve the TUM community in shaping sustainable mobility and the quality of stay at the university.

The project is ongoing and first results will be presented soon.
