PGfor_Resilient_Cities
Urban construction logistics is a major source of traffic congestion, noise and CO2 emissions in cities. Fragmented delivery processes for building materials, particularly concrete, create significant negative externalities that undermine urban liveability. The PGfor_Resilient_Cities project addresses this challenge by developing an intelligent platform for the dynamic optimisation of construction material deliveries. The project builds on the existing ProperGate digital platform, previously supported by EIT Urban […]
TRACE
Tram systems are essential to sustainable urban mobility, yet face significant safety risks, operational inefficiencies and growing staff shortages. Current VDV 191-based systems (2019) offer forward collision warnings without the predictive or comprehensive hazard detection that is needed to further reduce collisions and optimise operations. TRACE builds on the successful ARISE project by introducing next-generation Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functionalities for urban trams. […]
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 […]
PANTOTECH
The PANTOTECH project aims to improve the reliability and efficiency of public transport systems, with a focus on tram and metro networks. Many cities still rely on routine, time-based inspections and reactive maintenance, which can be inefficient. Inspections are often carried out too early, wasting resources, or too late, leading to failures, service disruptions and safety risks. This challenge, along with the […]

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 […]
IMPULSE+
Inspired by the urgent need to accelerate the electrification of public transport while ensuring that PTOs can efficiently manage their fleets, the IMPULSE+ project builds on the successful deployment of the realCity platform with Carris, Lisbon’s Public Transport Operator (PTO) as part of the IMPULSE project. Following the demonstrated improvements in electric fleet monitoring from […]

Predicting risk to save lives: new approaches to urban road safety
Urban streets are becoming increasingly complex and are having significant impacts on road safety. Growing population density, a rise in cycling and micromobility, and continued reliance on private vehicles are intensifying competition for limited road space. This complexity has disproportionately affected vulnerable road users (VRUs). VRUs, including pedestrians, cyclists and micromobility users, represent 70% of […]
