SMART URBAN AREAS (SUA) - RIM - TU Dortmund

Calendar

Location & approach

By car

The TU Dortmund campus is located near the Dortmund West interchange, where the A45 Sauerland line crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. Coming from the A45, you can turn onto Stockumer Straße via Universitätsstraße. This in turn is connected to Baroper Straße, along which Campus South extends. If you take the exit of the A-40, the route via Emil-Figge Straße, Marie-Curie Allee to Baroper Straße is appropriate. If you turn from Baroper Straße into August-Schmidt Straße, you have the opportunity to reach the parking lot directly behind the GB III.

By bus and train

The South Campus is connected via Stockumerstraße by bus lines 440 and 449, which run every 10 minutes. Campus South can be reached on foot from the Am Gardenkamp stop, and the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station is also located near the Eichlinghofen stop. The bus lines connect to the U42 light rail line at the Barop Parkhaus stop, which provides connections to the Dortmund-Hombruch district and Dortmund downtown.

By overhead railway (H-Bahn)

From Dortmund-Eichlinghofen, the South Campus is connected to the H-Bahn network via the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station. Line 1 runs here every 10 minutes, and the South Campus is served by the Campus Süd stop.
A connection to Campus North is also provided. Line 2 shuttles between Campus North and Campus South every 5 minutes.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

SMART URBAN AREAS (SUA)

Sustainable System Solutions for Urban Development

Duration: 01.09.2022 - 31.08.2025

Rapidly growing urbanization and global economic developments are massively increasing pressure on the global water balance and technical infrastructures. At the same time, climate change demands a fundamental shift towards CO2-neutral energy management. In order to address the above challenges, new concepts for cities and neighborhoods in the age of digitalization are to be developed.

The overarching goal of Smart Urban Areas (SUA) is to contribute to sustainable building management in Vietnam. The project will be carried out with Vingroup as practice partner in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi, by monitoring a smart city that is currently under development. With the use of high-efficiency pumps, greening interventions, and the efficient use of rainwater, the long-term aim is to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency for a selected building in the smart city. To evaluate the best performing measures, initial microclimate simulations will be carried out and discussed with relevant stakeholders.

In order to provide continuous data and information sharing, a digital twin will be created for the selected building. This procedure will be realized with the use of real-time measurements by modern environmental sensor technology. The digital twin will provide information about fresh water supply as well as the influence of greening interventions and building materials on the microclimate. In the first three years, the project will develop spatially transferable concepts for sustainable and smart neighborhoods.
