Last-mile logistics for autonomous goods delivery

Deliveries in metropolitan areas will increase dramatically over the next few years. Last-mile logistics are becoming increasingly frequent and more fragmented, especially with the exponential growth of e-commerce. The negative impact of current urban-centre logistics practices includes increased traffic, safety...

PowerManagement – Smart and efficient EV-charging platform

PowerManagement is a custom-designed energy management software platform for the efficient charging of electric vehicles in public, corporate or residential garages. The system enables fleet managers, site operators and other clients to set up intelligent charging strategies to optimise costs...

Shared economy to improve electric vehicles infraestructure in Europe

The decarbonisation of mobility is an urgent need of our society and, as the most extended solution currently being considered, the use of electric vehicles (EV) is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. This presents some challenges as...

FlexCurb

Cities need to make transport more reliable and sustainable. For example, double parking caused by delivery vehicles is one of the main negative impacts of the upturn in last-mile deliveries, generating conflicts with pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and emergency vehicles....

RideSafeUM

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....

IMMENSE

IMMENSE proposes the creation of a Transport Demand Management (TDM) tool which is able to dynamically influence traffic demand on road and parking ecosystems depending on congestion levels. By using a dynamic rate system with game design elements or “gamification”...

DIGITALBUS

Whilst urban centres enjoy an effective and seamless multimodal public transport system, for many peri-urban and rural areas public transport bus services remain the key form of transport providing mobility and connection to essential services such as education, employment, healthcare,...

IMAGINEXT

While urbanisation and populations in urban areas increase, decarbonising cities becomes a harder challenge. In this context, as an unprecedented amount of urban traffic pollutants are generated in cities, IMAGINEXT validates a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that utilises...

EV Charging From Lampposts

EV Charging From Lampposts will deploy and test electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations developed by the start-up SimpleCharge. These charging stations can be easily integrated into the infrastructure of street lampposts. The charging solution will be tested in several cities in...

NEDAM

E-bikes over emerged as a comprehensive transport option to replace more motorised forms of transport because they are speedier and easier to ride than conventional bikes. However, it is not always the most comfortable or convenient option; for instance, standard...

REACTIVITY

In REACTIVITY’s vision, smart, sustainable cities should achieve a car-free environment within urban areas and zero-emissions by 2050. The REACTIVITY project rewards public transport and active mobility to reduce emissions; backs data-driven urban; and traffic planning and engaging with citizens,...

IMPACTS

Public transport is a crucial aspect of urban mobility, allowing people to commute, socialise, and explore their cities safely and cost-effectively. However, overcrowding, limited digitalisation, outdated reporting mechanisms and decreased perceived safety due to the pandemic, have discouraged its use....

sCOOL2walk

sCOOL2walk aims to get families walking to school. The project matches people together to share their walk to and from school. The benefits are many. Traffic congestion and pollution around schools is reduced and fewer vehicles also means safer streets....

TACTIC

TACTIC is creating an innovative solution that brings economic, environmental and social value to the last-mile logistics business, involving different stakeholders in the local commerce logistics chain. The solution consists of connecting local commerce, green logistics services and the end...

Coding the Curbs

Urban logistics management urgently needs to evolve. Congestion, pollution and the increasing pressure on space in inner cities are becoming critical. For cities this means managing scarce public space in a sustainable and efficient way. For logistics, this means going...

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...

SEVES

The development of transport electrification means the unsustainable production of expensive batteries including the high consumption of raw materials and, at the end of the life of battery electric vehicles (BEV), their energy-intensive recycling. Sustainable electrified urban transport requires the...

H2GO

While electric battery vehicles are becoming a popular alternative to motorised vehicles, they still face some challenges in terms of range, cost, and limited charging infrastructure in some cities. Hydrogen fuel cell batteries could help to tackle these challenges. A consortia comprised...

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...

Cleanergy 4 Micromobility 

The rise of shared e-scooters in cities reduces car usage and helps achieve sustainable mobility goals but challenges related to shared public space between pedestrians, cyclists and micromobility users, operating costs, and ensuring clean sources of energy persist.  To this...
