The solution dashboard provides city and municipal authorities with data and insight thanks […]
Optimising micromobility operations in Ankara
In the city of Ankara, the electric bike sharing system includes more than 500 bikes and 40 charging stations. However, the system lacks a decision-support feature, making it impossible to automatically optimise field operations such as collecting bikes, replacing batteries, carrying out on-site maintenance, returning bikes to the workshop, etc. As these operations are costly, […]
Optimising transport intermodality in Akureyri
With a population of almost 20,000, the city of Akureyri is the largest urban area outside the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik. In Akureyri, public transport is provided through a free bus network; however, most residents opt to travel by private car. The current bus system consists of six lines that make a long circular route […]
Public transport optimisation in Ajka
With a population of 28,000 inhabitants, the town of Ajka in Hungary is a hub for work, health, and educational services. Every day more than 14,000 people commute to the city centre. Between 2013 and 2023 the number of cars in the city increased by 24%. Ajka municipality decided to re-organise and optimise the public […]
Integrating remote neighbourhoods through active mobility in Debrecen
A dramatic increase in car traffic poses a significant challenge to the city of Debrecen, with the number of cars doubling since the 1990s. Many people use a private vehicle to commute from low-density residential areas, as their destination is often too far to cycle and there is a lack of secure bicycle parking near […]
Price transparency for EV charging in the Capital Region of Denmark
The Capital Region of Denmark aims to electrify 1.5 million vehicles by 2030. To do so, it needs to guarantee an accessible and transparent electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The price of EV charging in the Capital Region of Denmark is regulated by charging operators themselves, meaning that prices can vary significantly depending on factors […]
Data-driven city logistics in Barcelona
The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) faces several challenges in maximising the potential of its app, SPRO, due to the large volume of complex data collected on loading/unloading zones. It also needs to ensure that the data collected, such as personal information or business-critical data, remains private and secure. The AMB needs to invest in […]
Bicycle culture know-how in Helsingborg
Despite substantial investment in infrastructure and mobility management, the people of Helsingborg tend to travel by bicycle less than people in similar-sized cities and in the rest of the region. The city wishes to understand the factors that encourage or discourage cycling, focusing on public behaviour and ways to promote a cycling culture. The Nudgd […]
Improving sustainable journeys in The Hague
Scheveningen beach is a popular recreational area, especially during events and when the weather is fine. On these peak days, large visitor numbers can pose a challenge due to crowded public transportation and long traffic jams. There are several different transport connections to Scheveningen beach. To reduce CO2 emissions, The Hague’s authorities wish to remove […]
Micromobility usage uptake
Dubnica nad Váhom is a city in central Slovakia with a population of around 25,000. The city’s setting is ideal for promoting higher rates of active mobility. At the time of the pilot, Dubnica nad Váhom will be building its first bicycle infrastructure with a strategic long-term objective to increase the bicycle modal share. One […]
Smart data on mobility patterns in Munich
The city of Munich, with 1.5 million inhabitants, faces environmental challenges and congestion due to growing numbers of inhabitants and private vehicles causing an increase in CO2 emissions. Around 400,000 commuters travel into Munich from the surrounding areas every day. To adapt to passengers’ needs and promote environmentally friendly transport, it is crucial to know […]
Rethink your ride in Stuttgart
The region of Stuttgart hosts many major events throughout the year. Most visitors come to events by car or on overcrowded public transport (if available). Congestion caused by large events can create safety risks for drivers, pedestrians, and other road users. Large events can also have a significant environmental impact. If people are offered a […]
U-SAVE
The U-SAVE project aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative aerial transport system to quickly deliver life-saving supplies in emergency situations across urban and suburban areas. In many cities, road congestion and traffic delays hinder emergency response times, putting lives at risk. Traditional emergency vehicles face challenges navigating through densely populated or congested urban spaces, […]
UrbanVind
Data collection in public transportation is a challenge in Europe. Cities struggle to gather crucial data for operations and planning. Information such as where people board and exit and how many passengers are sitting on a bus is not readily or easily available, as was found after interviewing 40+ cities and operators. Traditional solutions to […]
URBANITE
Asistobe addresses the challenges of inefficient public transport systems caused by only relying on slow and expensive data sources like surveys and interviews when gathering information about people’s mobility habits. Urban mobility today demands dynamic solutions to tackle overcrowded buses, delayed trams, and rising environmental concerns. This project provides cities, municipalities, and public transport operators […]
SOH FLEET!
The EU Batteries Regula????on (EU) 2023/1542 establishes a comprehensive framework for monitoring the aging of batteries used in electric vehicles. In the context of urban mobilities, the average lifespan of a bus is around 15 years, whereas the expected lifespan of a battery is eight yearsas a minimum. However today, public transport operators (PTOs) rely […]
Smart Zone Enforcement
There is a huge potential for Smart Zones in Europe. There are more than 800 sizable cities that would benefit from this digital solution to optimise the use of urban space. For example, Smart Zones allow for a much more effective and efficient use of (un)loading bays and the prevention of misuse. However, Smart Zones […]
sHARMONY
The sHARMONY project tackles the safety issue at bus stops where cycle lanes intersect pedestrian pathways. Current solutions like shared spaces and barriers do not dynamically manage interactions between cyclists, pedestrians, and buses. sHARMONY’s innovative system integrates embedded horizontal traffic lights, synchronized with bus movements via beacons, and includes a mobile app for visually impaired […]
ROSE
Theoremus’s route optimisation module for waste is being developed to address the inefficiencies and environmental challenges associated with traditional waste collection systems. Municipalities and waste management companies often rely on fixed collection schedules that result in unnecessary trips, higher operational costs, and increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These inefficiencies, combined with the underutilisation of data […]
NG SEED
With the rapid growth of e-commerce and urban deliveries, cities across Europe face the same problem: CO2 emissions and ineffective last-mile transportation solutions. The project wants to solve the pressing challenges of traffic congestion, pollution and last mile delivery inefficiencies. E-Mobility-Rentals, in collaboration with Glovo and Wolt, began a mission to build a complete and […]
NanoHubZone
The NanoHubZone project addresses the environmental and logistical challenges of traditional urban delivery systems, which rely heavily on large vehicles that contribute to traffic congestion and high CO2 emissions. Inspired by the growing need for sustainable last-mile delivery solutions, the project introduces modular transshipment zones in Barcelona and Brussels. These zones act as micro-logistics hubs, […]
Micromobility-Infra
The Marma charging stations project is a 12-month initiative addressing operational inefficiencies in shared micromobility services.
