Mobility needs are constantly changing in terms of technological developments, organisational, legal aspects and in terms of user needs. The Living Lab approach can provide the support frame for the development of future innovation in the transport sector jointly with the users. Recognizing the potential of living labs the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) introduced the initiative Urban Mobility Labs (UML) on a strategic national level. It was launched in the frame of the research and development program “Mobility of the Future”. The first phase was an exploration phase, where eight proposals for UMLs were evaluated and checked for feasibility. In a current second phase five UML are under implementation. In this paper we give an overview on the advantages of providing UMLs to research and development projects and how they can be implemented along a research funding scheme based on the example of Austria.
