Telraam with the city of Mechelen
Urban delivery traffic has grown 71% over the last 20 years and now accounts for 20-30% of vehicle kilometres in cities and over 16% of urban air pollution. European cities are responding by encouraging cargo bike logistics, yet current traffic monitoring systems cannot distinguish between cargo bikes and leisure cyclists. This leaves local governments without the data needed to plan, evaluate and regulate sustainable urban logistics. Telraam is a citizen-powered […]
Replan.city with NIIMO
Many European cities and regions struggle to make evidence-based decisions about public transport, rural mobility and emissions reduction due to fragmented data and the absence of shared digital planning tools. In Saxony-Anhalt (Germany), regional authorities, municipalities and transport operators lack a common platform for modelling and evaluating mobility scenarios consistently and transparently. The project addresses this challenge by deploying Replan.city, a cloud- and agent-based […]
eTRAC
eTRAC (Enhanced Train Reporting and Analytics for Cleanliness) is a project designed to improve how rail operators monitor and manage train cleanliness and condition. It aims to replace manual, inconsistent inspection processes with a more reliable, data-driven approach. Train cleanliness checks traditionally rely on human inspection, which can be subjective, time-consuming and difficult to scale across large fleets. This often leads to missed issues, inefficient cleaning schedules and increased […]
LIS-ACCESS
LIS-ACCESS seeks to solve a simple but critical challenge in Lisbon: citizens’ inability to reliably plan accessible walking journeys due to incomplete and difficult-to-update city-wide pedestrian accessibility data that is rarely translated into usable routes. The project was inspired by Lisbon City Council’s ambition to strengthen its Pedestrian Accessibility Plan and make walking safer, more inclusive and more attractive, especially for older adults and people with reduced mobility. Today, barriers such as steps, steep slopes, […]
Mobility Talks 33: Digital twins for better mobility
Digital twins have recently emerged as a powerful tool for cities seeking to plan, manage, and optimise mobility systems in an increasingly complex and data-rich environment. By creating dynamic digital representations of urban mobility systems, cities can test scenarios, simulate policy impacts, and make better-informed decisions. However, the usefulness and accuracy of simulations provided by digital twins depend on […]
TWINOPT
TWINOPT will run for 24 months, from February 2026 to January 2028, reflecting the operational complexity of coordinating three pilot implementations across Jesi, Cambridgeshire and Antalya. The project is structured into six work packages, each aligned with specific responsibilities and partner expertise. TWINOPT builds on the success of the previous EIT-funded MoTO project in Turin, advancing from historical data validation to a real-time […]
Connect4Mobility
EIT Urban Mobility Türkiye Representative, by Farklabs and Sabanci University, is excited to invite you to the 6th edition of Connect4Mobility, an event focused on urban mobility. This year’s theme, “Data-driven urban mobility,” will bring together companies, entrepreneurs, academics, local authorities, and decision-makers from across Türkiye to shape the future of our cities. Connect4Mobility will […]

Greener & Smarter Railway Stations
The project aims to demonstrate how a scalable, interoperable Energy Management System (EMS) can transform large multimodal transit hubs into smart, decarbonised energy ecosystems. Railway stations are complex infrastructures combining transport operations, retail, building systems, EV charging, and increasingly on-site renewable production (e.g., solar PV), all under growing pressure to reduce emissions, control energy costs, […]
HyScale Occitanie
The HyScale Occitanie project aims to accelerate the reliable and scalable deployment of hydrogen infrastructure in Southern Europe, starting with a strategic pilot in the Occitanie region (France). The project addresses critical operational and digital gaps faced by early-stage hydrogen producers and refueling station operators, particularly those managing decentralised assets across growing hydrogen corridors such […]
