Discover MONOCAB
Day trip to the MONOCAB test track in Extertal on 23.05.2025

Are you interested in innovative mobility services for rural areas? Then get to know the MONOCAB with us as a possible supplement to traditional public transport. Discover the MONOCAB technology at the development site in East Westphalia-Lippe and ride the MONOCAB. The day trip will take place on Friday, 23.05.2025 from Kleve. There are no costs for you, your physical well-being will be taken care of all day.
In return, you will be available to us as a test person for our AI acceptance research on this day. We would like to find out how and under what conditions a new technology such as the MONOCAB with an autonomously driving and AI-controlled vehicle could gain acceptance from users. To do this, we will be asking you several questions during the day, in particular about your experiences with MONOCAB use. Therefore, we are explicitly looking for potential future users as test persons/passengers on this day. These are in particular groups of people who do not have unrestricted access to a car, such as schoolchildren or older people, or people with disabilities.
However, it is not just about the pure user experience. Aspects of acceptance are also being examined that are relevant for the use of a MONOCAB, for example, on the disused Kleve-Kranenburg-Groesbeek (NL) route. This concerns, for example, the interests and reservations of residents along a possible route. On this day, you can experience how fast such a cabin moves and what noises it makes. This also concerns political decision-makers and people involved in administration when considering the creation of such a route in the future.
And for our special border situation, we are particularly looking for test persons from the Netherlands. It is important to find out whether the aspects mentioned above are seen similarly on both sides of the border or whether the interests differ here. This is a crucial factor for a cross-border mobility offer.
