EU-Propel [EU-Propulse]
EU-Propel (also known as EU-Propulse), led by the Agence de l’Innovation pour les Transports (AIT), brings together three graduate startups from the open innovation programme Propulse, along with innovation consultancy Bax & Company and a large network of EU cities, to tackle car-dependency issues in logistics, commuting and leisure. The project objective is threefold:
ABC – Advanced driver-assistance system
ABC will create a novel out-of-the-box advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) solution for small and mid-sized bus original equipment manufacturers (OEM) from Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) countries. The project aims to address their lock-out from the market, due to their limited internal resources for hardware and software development to ensure Vehicle General Safety Regulation (GSR2) compliance. […]
LogiSmile – 2nd year
The LogiSmile project aims to develop an urban logistics system for the distribution and delivery of parcels. Today’s logistics operations in city centres lead to very negative effects: increase in traffic congestion; safety problems for pedestrians, bikers and deliverers; air and noise pollution. To address these challenges, the LogiSmile project has implemented pilot programs in […]
SimpleCharge Rent
This project addresses the issue of access to electric vehicle charging stations. Latvian startup Simple Charge’s charging stations and business model offers a cost-effective alternative for cities to increase access to electric vehicle (EV) charging without significant infrastructure investment. Simple Charge’s charging stations can be installed on existing lamppost infrastructure and used for charging electric […]
ROAD System
This project promotes the uptake of transportation via bicycle by improving infrastructure and safety. Social Tech Projects’ ROAD System is a road scanning tool uses Internet of Things (IoT) devices installed on bicycles to collect various types of data from urban cycle infrastructure and the environment. The bicycle device provides a comprehensive road assessment by […]
BOUT x Paris
In many cities the water transportation system is fragmented and underutilised, with a high number of individual players. As currently most water transportation operators sell their services through individual websites and agencies, it is difficult for supply to meet demand. Bout functions as a digital marketplace for passenger water transportation and strives to make booking […]
ADK-S
In 2019, there were 4,628 pedestrian and 2,777 cyclist fatalities on EU roads. A.D Knight aims to prevent pedestrian and cyclist fatalities and improve traffic safety.
