Mastering mobility with inclusiveness by design
Europe’s population is diverse, yet its mobility infrastructure often fails to reflect this reality. Mobility is a fundamental part of daily life – allowing access to work, school, health and governmental services, as well as leisure activities and social connections – and a lack of access can have profound consequences on individual physical, social and […]

Urban Mobility Day is a unique opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and innovators from both the public and private sectors in the field of urban mobility. This year’s edition will focus on how cities can support pedestrians […]
Minimising human errors in public transport: Predictive fatigue monitoring for higher passenger safety
In 2024, close to 20,000 road fatalities occurred across Europe. Europe’s long-term road safety goal, ‘Vision Zero’ aims to have zero fatalities in road transport by 2050. Technological advances, including connectivity and automation, present new opportunities to reduce the role of human errors. The role of fatigue in human errors on our roads, remains a […]
Nemi celebrate fifth birthday in signing 11 new on-demand transport services.
Nemi, a company part of EIT Urban Mobility’s investment portfolio, makes public transport in low-density areas feasible by providing a software solution that enables flexible bus services. Support by EIT Urban Mobility has allowed Nemi to become the reference tool for planning and operating flexible public transport services, with a differential model that improves reliability […]
Premium experience at bus interchanges
A restructuring of the public transport network in Cascais in 2021 created a fast express bus line which is now fed by local bus lines picking up travellers from surrounding neighbourhoods. Although the new network is generally much faster, citizens complain that they now must make a transfer. Overall, travellers tend to dislike interchanges, which […]
School mobility
Most residents in São Domingos de Rana commute daily either in the direction of Cascais or Lisbon. Many commuters need to take their children to school, which prevents them from using public transport. As a result, half of all schoolchildren in São Domingos da Rana are driven to school by car. As they do not […]
On-demand mobility in Cascais
Parede is an old town in the municipality of Cascais. The centre of Parede, mostly along Avenue da República, is a dynamic area thanks to its local commerce and services. It has narrow pavements and high pedestrian density. Several issues arise from high numbers of local car users and heavy through traffic. The city council […]
UrbanVind
Data collection in public transportation is a challenge in Europe. Cities struggle to gather crucial data for operations and planning. Information such as where people board and exit and how many passengers are sitting on a bus is not readily or easily available, as was found after interviewing 40+ cities and operators. Traditional solutions to […]
URBANITE
Asistobe addresses the challenges of inefficient public transport systems caused by only relying on slow and expensive data sources like surveys and interviews when gathering information about people’s mobility habits. Urban mobility today demands dynamic solutions to tackle overcrowded buses, delayed trams, and rising environmental concerns. This project provides cities, municipalities, and public transport operators […]
sHARMONY
The sHARMONY project tackles the safety issue at bus stops where cycle lanes intersect pedestrian pathways. Current solutions like shared spaces and barriers do not dynamically manage interactions between cyclists, pedestrians, and buses. sHARMONY’s innovative system integrates embedded horizontal traffic lights, synchronized with bus movements via beacons, and includes a mobile app for visually impaired […]
Interact
This project, named Human machine interaction for automated public transport buses (InterAct), focuses on driving with automated buses, which are conventional full-sized buses with automated driving technology. These buses have higher capacity and are further in the development towards driving without safety driver onboard. The project partners have the ambition to make urban spaces more […]
BCMS
Buses often experience overcrowding and bunching along the route, leading to reduced seating chance, denied boarding, and long waiting and journey times. Currently no product exists for operators to control crowding along the route. To address this, the project aims to commercialise Theoremus’s AI passenger crowding counting technology, which is currently a primitive and specialist […]
Baseline NC
The Croydon Tram Accident killed seven people and was caused by driver incapacitation. The investigation by UK Tram identified the need for new technology that predicted and prevented depreciated physiological performance (fatigue, inattention, and incapacitation) at work. There is currently no technology in the market capable of doing this. IHF DIGITAL Ltd has developed the […]
ARISE
Tram systems are vital for sustainable urban mobility but face challenges such as accidents, inefficiencies, and staff shortages. The ARISE project addresses these issues by showcasing OTIV.TWO, an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety, efficiency, and reliability through real-time information and intelligent decision support, reducing delays and improving operations. Rail transport, as the most […]
AIMOVE
Current public transport prioritisation relies on vehicle-installed transponders communicating with traffic lights, a system limited to municipal transport. This project proposes an innovative solution using CCTV cameras at intersections and transit zones to recognise and prioritise all high-occupancy vehicles, expanding efficiency across diverse transport providers. Our approach leverages advanced image recognition technology, enhancing traffic flow […]

Mastering mobility with the 15-minute city
Throughout history, urban designers and architects have theorised about the ideal structure of cities to meet the unique needs of residents. From Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City, which envisioned compact suburban towns with quick access to both services and natural spaces; to Harris and Ullman’s Polycentric City, focused on more organic growth with nodal points around […]
