The research project “STRALI” (Strategic Charging Infrastructure Planning for the Electrification of City-wide Transport) aims to enable cities and municipalities to plan charging infrastructure in line with their needs and in line with municipal transport policy goals on the basis of multi-criteria data collection and analysis. In the future, charging infrastructure planning will be used for targeted, resource-efficient control of traffic flows using suitable web-based applications. The web-based charging infrastructure planning tool is used to specifically control traffic according to specified criteria based on the interests of mobility users. The combination of empirical data with secondary and technology-supported data from tracking apps and data loggers should enable a better database for a subsequent street-accurate traffic model. The data from the simulation and traffic models ultimately flow into a newly developed planning tool, which is intended to validate the extent to which mobility behavior can be influenced by strategic, multi-criteria charging infrastructure planning. With the interdisciplinary team of engineers, psychologists, business economists, innovation researchers and transport researchers in collaboration with two Essen SMEs, the project starts on August 1st, 2023 with funding from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport and runs for three years.
