IMPACTS - short for: Inclusive Mobility: Public and Collaborative Trusted Spaces - is a project investigating a bottom-up solution to build supportive communities in public spaces and especially urban mobility.
Even if public transport is statistically safe, existing low security perception, increased gender transgressions, limited reporting mechanisms and global challenges such as Covid-19 create a reduced perception of safety and distrust. Thus, citizens use less mass transport, traffic and emissions do not reduce, while the future urban environment is restrained from citizen feedback and co-development. We connect passengers in ad-hoc communities to create supportive spaces, enable passengers to report issues, create trust using rating mechanisms, and encourage behavior change through stimulating analytics. Cities and transport providers in return receive real-time insights regarding passenger perceptions and exploit new feedback channels. Pilots in Istanbul and Dugopolje aim to collect evidence that bottom-up community-based innovation in existing critical urban mobility infrastructure can have a dramatic impact on how we move in our cities.
