CELESTE – second year
European cities are the object of severe problems related to high levels of congestion of road traffic. Current solutions for regulating traffic rely mostly on static speed limits defined by national and European regulations. However, this model fails to adapt to unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions, high levels of air pollution, or mass […]
SmartHubs – second year
SmartHubs is an EIT Urban Mobility Project working on increasing the implementation and use of shared mobility hubs in metropolitan areas. Worldwide the pressure on urban areas and climate is increasing. Cities need to implement new and effective mobility solutions, such as shared mobility, to deal with this pressure. The adoption rate of shared mobility is already […]
Travalytics: analytics of employee travel for sustainability reporting
Reporting on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires trustworthy and reliable data on employee travel. Data needs to be collected and presented in a way that enables companies to set and follow up targets & pinpoint measures to reduce their emissions from travel. No product exists on the […]
MoTO: Inclusive mobility
MoTO aims to create a living lab in Turin to test and validate three new mobility solutions: a digital twin for urban monitoring by Transcality, a carpooling solution by Karos Mobility, and inclusive mobility options for the visually impaired by Dreamwaves. By engaging local communities and leveraging existing initiatives like “ToMove” and “Torino City Lab,” […]
HERO – Hydrogen retrofit
Public transport operators across Europe are currently rushing to decarbonise their fleets to meet the 2030 targets. While the manufacturers’ market offers many zero- emission technology options for the most common bus typologies. However, for city minibuses, there are restricted solutions due to the need to operate for 18 hours without possibility of refuelling. Currently, […]
H2DISPENSER
The H2Dispenser project focuses on the challenge related to the hydrogen (H2) transition in the transport field. The project will work on a new concept of distributed H2 refuelling stations that assures the optimisation of renewable energy produced at the local level and provides a clear answer to those who need a reliable H2 distribution […]
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. […]
GENERation Nature
Areas where cities meet natural parks often exhibit environmental degradation. Yet, these border zones hold great potential for reconnecting citizens with nature. Similarly, the needs of people at transitional stages of life, such as the young and elderly, are often underrepresented in the public realm. GENERation Nature aims to bridge these challenges by integrating and […]
CoolCo’s – Cooling corners and corridors
Europe’s rapidly rising temperatures change our cities to boiling and unliveable spaces in which vulnerable communities suffer more with devastating consequences; heat-related deaths are higher among these populations. Additionally, as most public spaces are overly dedicated to recreational or hospitality uses that target primarily wealthier groups, vulnerable social groups’ use of public space is mostly […]
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 […]
