Organize mobility hub
park - load - borrow - share
A mobility hub is a place where different means of transport and services meet. At a mobility hub , people come together using different means of transport, can switch to others, share them (sharing) or charge them, but also use various services. who e.g. B. comes with the e-bike and changes to the tram, needs a secure bike box in which the bike is loaded and equipment such as helmet, rain jacket, etc. can be stored. Purchases, packages or goods can be delivered by (local) traders.
Ideally, everything can be booked and reserved via a central system. For example, more and more cities and municipalities mobility hubs at relevant hubs in the form of modern bike+ride facilities that can be managed centrally and reserved via app.

Centrally controlled mobility hub – practical application examples
Our parking space management with Book-n-Park being used successfully at various mobility hubs
There are almost no limits to the applications!
Expanded without loss of functionality
Customer: Technical University of Darmstadt
Industry: Universities and colleges
Task: In addition to the existing management of parking spaces and bicycle boxes by Book-n-Park, barrier systems, roller shutters and access doors in the TU car parks were to be integrated into the system.
Solution : The barrier systems were expanded with GMS technology without any loss of function, as were the roller shutters. Doors were fitted with electromechanical locks and made controllable. Authorized parkers can now operate all devices centrally with their smartphones with just one booking.
Share service bikes
Customer: Technical University of Kaiserslautern
Industry: Universities and colleges
Task: In addition to the management of the parking spaces, bicycle boxes for the safe storage of company bicycles at different locations should also be made accessible to a different group of people.
Solution : We retrofitted the selected bicycle boxes with an electromechanical locking system and integrated them into Book-n-Park. All authorized persons can now easily reserve and use the bicycles, the bicycle boxes are opened with the smartphone.
Funding for municipalities - Bike+Ride program of the NAH.SH
- project in development -
Customer: NAH.SH
Industry: Municipality
Task: The access system for the collective locking systems will be operated via Book-n-Park in the future.
We deliver and install the communication hardware and take care of the financial and organizational processing of the rental.
We are also the contact for the municipalities. Through our partners, we have the option of organizing individual hardware components such as bicycle boxes and locker systems.
Project DELTA - associated project partner for the realization of mobility hubs
DELTA - a project of the "Real Laboratories of the Energy Transition" initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection
The Darmstadt Energy Laboratory for Applied Technologies ( DELTA) acts as a showcase for the urban energy transition to demonstrate interacting, energy- optimized districts . The DELTA real laboratory is intended to demonstrate that the technically proven potential for increasing energy efficiency and flexibility in urban districts can be implemented economically and is also socially accepted.
In the sub-project "Resource Conservation through Urban Sharing Models" Green Mobility Solutions (GMS) develops and researches energy-efficient, far-reaching IoT communication protocols for long-term control of actuators in urban environments. For simple and integrative use, a flexible administration of usage scenarios in the mobility hubs developed. This enables shared use of resources such as bicycles, parking spaces or delivery boxes. make switching from cars to bicycles, e-bikes and public transport more attractive for employees and citizens at a central mobility hub
The Darmstadt Energy Laboratory is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection with 100 million euros.
