EIT Urban Mobility Market Dialogue: AI and Mobility Data
EIT Urban Mobility, Milestone Systems and IT University Copenhagen are hosting a Market Dialogue exploring how AI and mobility data can help cities address the challenges of today and tomorrow. Cities are generating growing amounts of mobility data from cameras, sensors, connected vehicles, public transport and other sources. At the same time, many face challenges […]
MUNINN – Mapping Urban Signage Inventory with Neural Networks in Lviv
MUNINN (Mapping Urban sigNage Inventory with Neural Networks) addresses Lviv’s urgent need for accurate, up-to-date data on its traffic signs and road markings. The city currently relies on outdated paper-based records that hinder effective road safety management and infrastructure maintenance planning. Without a reliable digital inventory, damaged or missing signs go undetected, creating risks for […]
SNOWSENSE – Winter Road Condition Data for Active Mobility in Luleå
SNOWSENSE is a pilot by infrared.city (Infrared City GmbH) for the City of Luleå, supported by EIT Urban Mobility’s RAPTOR programme. The goal is to make winter cycling and walking safer and empower citizens to choose active mobility means in a subarctic city. Northern winters make active travel difficult: snow, ice and rapidly changing conditions […]
KerbFree in London
KerbFree is a kerbside decision-support platform developed to help local authorities plan and evaluate changes to street space in a transparent, evidence-based way. The project addresses a common problem in urban planning: streets are dominated by car parking, yet councils face pressure to reallocate that space for walking, cycling, loading and greenery. Changing kerbside use […]
ROHAN – AI-Powered Infrastructure Monitoring via Professional Fleet Vehicles in Helsinki
Helsinki wants an up-to-date picture of its streets. Today, it gets that picture in pieces. Traffic counts come from manual surveys, infrastructure condition from occasional street-scanning campaigns and parking occupancy from people counting cars by hand. Each survey costs money, puts another vehicle on the road and captures only one thing at a time. By […]
ParkWise: Data-Driven Differentiated Parking Pricing for Sustainable Urban Mobility in Edinburgh
ParkWise helps Edinburgh implement fair, differentiated parking charges based on vehicle attributes across its controlled parking zones (CPZs). Today, Edinburgh’s parking charges apply a flat rate regardless of vehicle type, so a compact car and a heavy SUV pay the same, despite their very different weight, size and emissions. This limits the city’s ability to […]
STREAM (School Traffic Route Evaluation and Aggregation Method) in Berlin
The project STREAM (School Traffic Route Evaluation and Aggregation Method) addresses a major urban mobility challenge in the pilot city of Berlin: how to understand and safeguard the daily trips of all school children across 900 Berlin schools. The Initiative for Safer Roads is an experienced player in road safety and traffic data analysis and […]

Journal of Urban Mobility keeps increasing its impact
The Elsevier Journal of Urban Mobility, launched under the Doctoral Training Network (DTN) and supported by EIT Urban Mobility, keeps increasing its impact and strengthening its position as leading publication in the field of urban mobility research. In just two reporting cycles, its Impact Factor has increased by over 140%, rising from 2.7 to […]
Smart Cities Conference 2026
On 17 September 2026, City of Riga will host the fifth edition of the Smart Cities Conference 2026, bringing together municipalities, public authorities, businesses, universities, startups and innovation ecosystem representatives to discuss practical approaches towards smarter, more resilient and sustainable urban development. This year, the conference is organized on a Baltic-Nordic scale, bringing together participants […]
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 […]
