"Disruptive technologies for data-driven urban mobility planning"
The new mobility could be decarbonised vehicles, autonomous driving or car sharing services
TECNALIA, along with other entities from countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Finland, Slovenia and Italy, is working on the development of some of the most relevant capabilities to achieve safe, smart, sustainable and low environmental impact mobility.
All these capabilities are being tested through the URBANITE initiative: it includes testing in different European cities, such as Messina (Italy), Bilbao (Spain), Helsinki (Finland) and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
One of the key issues for effective and efficient planning is the acceptance of disruptive technologies for data-driven urban mobility planning; using a participatory approach and a technical platform, integrating data, advanced data analytics and simulation.
Data-driven urban mobility
New mobility is the most important challenge to be resolved in recent years by the different sectors involved, representing a challenge, a commitment and, above all, an opportunity. The various challenges include demographic pressure, climate urgency and the reduction of pollutant emissions and the emergence of innovation in vehicles focused on decarbonisation or autonomous driving.
Governments are adopting a series of measures to make cities more sustainable. It is becoming increasingly relevant to provide new developments in mobility planning processes and methods to help public administrations and policy makers obtain a better understanding of the new mobility context, supporting them in making policy-related decisions and predicting eventualities.
