RETHINKING SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
THROUGH SIMULATION AND AI
FROM VISION TO ACTION: THE ASCS WORKING
GROUP PRESENTS 10 STRATEGIC THESES
FROM DIALOGUE TO DIRECTION: LAUNCHING
THE WORKING GROUP
How can modeling, simulation, and AI contribute to real
decarbonization in mobility?
This was the central question posed by the ASCS in 2024 and it has since evolved into a collaborative effort by leading
experts in simulation, research, and industry. What began as
a thought-provoking event has now become a structured
initiative: a working group with a clear goal - to create a
position paper on the role of simulation and artificial
intelligence in shaping sustainable mobility systems.
Following this event, the ASCS launched a dedicated
working group in mid-2024 to write a position paper
outlining how simulation and AI can accelerate
sustainability in mobility. The group includes experts from
OEMs, suppliers, academia, and tech providers:
IT STARTED WITH A SPARK: THE 2024 KICKOFF
The idea took shape in March 2024 during the ASCS event
“Game Changer Simulation - The Role of Simulation on
the Path to Decarbonization” at DLR in Stuttgart. A
powerful keynote by Prof. Dr. Tjark Siefkes (DLR) and expert
perspectives from Audi, EMSES, and ANSYS sparked in-depth
discussions about how simulation can become a driving
force for decarbonization.
The conclusion was clear: the industry already has the
technologies. What’s needed is a shift in mindset,
organizational structures, and strategy to unleash their full
potential.

Their collective objective: to develop clear, impactful
theses that demonstrate how simulation and AI can be
used not just for optimization, but for system-level
transformation.
