Accelerating Software-Intensive Innovation via Living Labs: Evidence from the AIAMO Project

In an increasingly digital world, the ability to innovate is crucial to the success of both economy and society, especially in connection with the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI). In order for such technologies to be developed and tested, open, practical environments for joint experimentation are needed. Living Labs offer a suitable framework for this. Using the example of the research project AIAMO (Artificial Intelligence And Mobility), led and coordinated by ITS Germany e.V. (ITS Germany e.V. – Federal Association of Industry and Science for Transport Technologies and Intelligent Mobility – has en working at the interface between intelligent transport systems and mobility for more than 20 years), this paper highlights how innovation processes can be established in a Living Lab to develop AI-based innovations in the mobility sector.
