The announcement, made during a ceremony held in Silicon Valley, marks a significant milestone in the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. This endeavour between the EIT Silicon Valley Hub and the EIT AI Community celebrates collaborations […]
IMPACTS: Boosting passenger safety in Croatia and Türkiye through a collaborative system
Public transport is a crucial aspect of urban mobility, allowing people to commute, socialise, and explore their cities safely and cost-effectively. However, issues such as overcrowding, limited digitalisation, outdated reporting mechanisms, and diminished perceived safety can discourage its use, leading to missed opportunities for multimodal mobility, traffic reduction, and citizen feedback. To address these issues, […]
AI4LIFE
Cities are responsible for about 70% of all greenhouse gas emissions and road transportation accounts for about a quarter of those emissions. Furthermore, hours wasted in traffic congestion costs Europe €110 billion per year. These costs, in addition the air pollution-related health issues, add up to several hundred billion euros per year. And most importantly, […]
RideSafeUM – second year
RideSafeUM was born in 2022 to make micromobility safer, encourage increased ridership of what have become key modes for the future of our mobility systems, and collect data on micromobility trips and crashes as a great source to nurture decision-making. Using innovative technology, RideSafeUM brings micromobility safety benefits to users, public authorities, shared service operators […]
FOLLOW
Walkable cities are safe, healthy, and friendly. Although urban planning has a key role in shaping citizens’ mobility patterns and behaviour, some tools can aid with the challenge of encouraging people to walk. FOLLOW aims to test a route planner that encourages walking by minimising the negative effects that a lack of safety and accessibility […]
Integrated and safe: how innovation can increase micromobility end user adoption
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) retrofit solutions for cities and regions
Speeding is the major cause of traffic accidents. As of this year, new vehicles have to be equipped with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems that make sure that a vehicle does not exceed the legal speed limit. From 2024, this regulation will extend to all new vehicles imported into the EU region. As vehicles have […]
IPA2X
The IPA2X project is helping to achieve zero accidents and decrease fatalities in urban areas. It will improve pedestrian safety by implementing a service of autonomous robots to assist pedestrians cross streets, notify nearby vehicles of the pedestrians’ movements, and identify obstacles on footpaths, bike paths and roads that may hinder pedestrian movements. In particular, the […]
RideSafeUM
The RideSafeUM project is helping prevent micromobility accidents. People riding scooters, cyclists, and skateboarders can use an app on their phones to view real-time regulatory information that could help them to avoid potential collisions with pedestrians, cars, delivery vans, taxis and other road users. A system that comprises the integration of computer-vision software, a […]
CELESTE
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems, which will become mandatory for all vehicles commercialised in the EU from 2022, enable speed alerts and, in some cases, automatic speed reduction and compliance. However, there are some issues that need resolving to support their correct use: • What is the appropriate speed limit for a particular area of the city? • Do changing conditions make those speed limits at times too […]
Mobility Talks episode 6: “Citizens as drivers of their own mobility”
Join us on 21 October at 16:00 CET to discuss about the role of citizens in decision-making processes regarding urban mobility issues, which is essential to understand and respond to their expectations and real needs. Citizens and end-users have a say in urban mobility. Their participation in the decision-making process regarding urban mobility issues is […]
