In Barcelona, the centres are being implemented in municipalities bordering the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB). In Stockholm, the pilots are demonstrating complementary activities including implementing fossil-fuel free delivery logistics in the district of Södermalm; testing innovative delivery solutions across Stockholm; planning and testing a micro-terminal for logistics and other […]
FDMM – Code the streets – Future Digital Mobility Management
Code the Streets is an EIT Urban Mobility Project bringing together different partners from Amsterdam, Helsinki and Budapest to support metropolitan areas in managing urban mobility. As metropolitan areas continue to grow, so do traffic related issues such as congestion and pollution. Globally cities are faced with the challenge of finding better ways to manage urban mobility […]
eUltimate
Battery electric buses are being launched in many cities, with multiple charging technologies and operational schemes available. Along the lifetime of a vehicle, different charging schemes have specific impact on the operating costs, allocation of public space and emissions. In general, the electrification of existing bus routes usually implies an increment in the number of vehicles and operating costs in comparison to conventional […]
Citython
Citython is an evolution of the concept of hackathon and datathon.

In cities across Europe, multidisciplinary teams of students and professionals from different backgrounds (including architecture, […]
CES4Kids
The project Children and youth empowerment through DECIDIUM digital platform, or CES4Kids, aims to deliver a participatory experience forchildren and youth in the co-creation of mobility planning, while at the same time enabling cities, academia and industry actors to gain valuable data and knowledge about their mobility habits to be able to design more suitable solutions for them. As children are often forgotten in the planning and decision-making process, […]
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 […]
Blockchain for Urban Mobility
Blockchain for Urban Mobility (B4UM) is offering training on blockchain technology to the EIT Urban Mobility (EIT UM) community including Innovation Hubs and compiling a set of EIT UM-related use cases. B4UM provides a complementary, replicable and scalable set of both online and face-to-face educational materials. The approach goes further than most training programmes by proposing a unique blend of online training – aimed at cities, industry, and R&D organisations – combined with practical, hands-on identification and analysis of specific use cases by engaged stakeholders. The project also offers support with applications involving blockchain to EIT […]
Agile Data Analysis for sustainable cities and citizens
Most European cities have collected a large amount of data related to public space availability and usage. With the increasing use of new technologies, mainly thanks to the IoT (Internet of Things), more and more data will be available in the coming years. However, specialist data science knowledge is essential to transform this data into […]
Crowdsourced Obtention and Analytics of Data About the Crowding of Public Spaces for the Benefit of Public Transport and Mobility in Cities
COVID-19 is still spreading and spatial distancing is one of the preventative measures taken worldwide. With mobility restrictions being eased in most countries, people are encouraged to go back to work, and the use of Public Transport (PT) and public spaces will grow steadily. Thus, crowds are expected, and maintaining the required distance will be […]
