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 […]
Resilient and sustainable urban plan in Bratislava
Bratislava feels the effects of climate change more acutely every year. Rising pollution levels in the city reflect the fact that the number of cars has doubled over the past 20 years. The city’s zoning plan needs to mitigate the effects of climate change. One objective of the zoning plan is to create more liveable […]
Promoting micromobility in Riga
The city of Riga has set a goal to reduce CO2 pollution by 22% by the year 2027, in part by establishing a Low Emission Zone and encouraging greater use of micromobility solutions. Many Riga residents continue to rely on private cars for their daily commute. Consequently, there is considerable congestion, noise and air pollution. […]
Micromobility 5+ conditions in Tallinn
Micromobility devices, such as e-scooters, are an essential means of decreasing private car ownership in Tallinn. E-scooters are already frequently used as a last-mile option for commuters. The current modal split for micromobility is at around 4-5%. The City of Tallinn aims to increase this to 10%. Snow and icy weather conditions in the winter […]

Predictable public transport in Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca is Romania’s fastest growing city. The working population is increasingly moving to the surrounding areas, creating major new commuting zones. However, these areas do not have the same variety, quality or frequency of mobility solutions as more established neighbourhoods. This lack of reliable and predictable public transport encourages a reliance on private vehicles for […]
Sea taxi service in Istanbul
Since 2021, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) has established the sea taxi system in the Strait of Istanbul. The 50 operating water taxis can transport 10 people each, and currently serve 48 piers operating 24 hours a day. They can be booked through a mobile application. The operation’s potential is limited firstly by a lack […]
Passenger discrimination in Istanbul
In Istanbul, 1.7 million of the population’s 32 million daily journeys are made by taxi. However, the city currently has a shortage of taxis, and they need to be integrated into last-mile transportation to increase the shift from private cars to public transport. There are a total of 18,395 taxis belonging to the municipality. Taxi […]
Taxi driver licencing in Istanbul
In Istanbul, taxi drivers must have a Public Transport Vehicle Usage Certificate issued by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB). However, IBB has received numerous complaints of unregulated taxis circulating in the city. Enforcing the licencing system will increase the safety of passengers and other road users. IBB is therefore looking for technological solutions to prevent […]
Curb management in Tel Aviv
In some areas of Tel Aviv, the number of micromobility vehicles, delivery motorbikes and large vehicles significantly impact pavement capacity, making it impossible and sometimes even dangerous for pedestrians to walk. In this project, the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo will seek to understand different approaches to collecting data and managing kerb safety. Startup A.D Knight […]
Pedestrian road safety in Tel Aviv
In 2020, pedestrians constituted 16% of all road users in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo. The municipality’s goal is to increase the percentage to 20% by 2030.
