SELECTIVE
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 current public charging infrastructure is insufficient to assume forecasted fleet growth and private chargers are […]
Implementation of Low Emissions
The implementation of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) has proven to be highly effective in reducing accidents, pollution, and other negative impacts caused by urban traffic. The forthcoming Climate Change and Energy Transition Law in Spain, set to be mandated during 2023, emphasises the importance of LEZs. This project builds upon a previously launched in-person course, […]

The Smart Mobility Accelerator mission is to support and empower start-ups with […]
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. Innovative measures are needed to help cities reduce congestion and trips; achieve sustainable mobility goals; […]
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. Using innovative technology, RideSafeUM brings micromobility safety benefits to users, public authorities, shared service operators […]
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” (such as automatically rewarding users with points for reducing travel time along congested routes if […]
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, fresh food and leisure – and transport hubs. In such areas with low population density, […]
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 artificial intelligence (AI) to learn how specific mobility strategies and sustainable transport measures impact on […]
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 Europe, focusing on providing electric vehicle charging solutions in residential areas where there are few […]
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 e-bikes may not be the most suitable option for employee’s movement during working hours when […]
REACTIVITY
Globally, cities are grappling with growing challenges tied to air and noise pollution, as well as traffic congestion and accidents. Concurrently, a rising number of citizens are suffering from chronic illnessesassociated with unhealthy lifestyles. In this context, local authorities need to support the uptake of intermodal active mobility and need technological tools to simplify the […]
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. This has resulted in decreased use of public transport and missed opportunities for multimodal mobility, […]
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. Families become more active and children gain a greater feeling of independence and awareness of […]

Coding the Curbs
The project will co-create with carriers, cities and citizens, offering clear incentives and engagement. The project will pilot an innovative scalable platform for bookable loading zones. Pricing, incentives and enforcement will directly result in a better use of loading zones, more efficient logistics, including a 20% reduction in kilometres driven and an incentive for clean […]
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 that encourages walking by minimising the negative effects that a lack of safety and accessibility […]
Recharging recovery
The Ljubljana University Medical Centre (UMC) is the largest hospital centre in Slovenia and among the largest in Central Europe. Every day, the area fills with employees, patients, and visitors. It is located in the heart of the city and lacks dedicated public transport solutions, while pedestrian and cyclist lanes are neglected. The project improved […]
OPEN NATURE
OPEN NATURE worked with the Collserola Natural Park, located at the heart of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, to identify sites for ecological and aesthetic rehabilitation near dense urban areas and well-positioned pathways from the city to the park. Through the project, sustainably harvested local wood was worked into aesthetic structures and elements and positioned […]
