#usercentricdesign concepts can revolutionize cities, particularly concerning connected #AutonomousMobility and #ClimateNeutrality . 🚀 Eva Boo and Esti Sanvicente were in #Madrid this week to kick off an amazing project #MobilitiesforEU that will implement 23 highly innovative demonstration interventions in 11 pilot sites, combining electrification, automation and connectivity in Madrid and #Dresden 🚌 👉 Autonomous vehicles, innovative charging infrastructures, green fuels, electric buses and H2 vehicles, advanced connectivity infrastructures, and 5G and 6G for connected and autonomous contribution are some of the interventions that will be implemented in both cities over the 5-year duration of the project. 👉 All these actions will be integrated in “Urban Transport Labs” that @WeRightClick will set up and coordinate. ⁉️ Their aim? 🚀Boost replication in the project’s follower cities Ioannina (Greece), Trenčin (Slovakia), Espoo (Finland), Gdansk (Poland) and Sarajevo (Bosnia). They will follow the path set by Madrid and Dresden, first as direct participants of these 2 leading cities and, in parallel, through their own UT-Labs.

What’s the future of #UrbanMobility? It’s autonomous, sustainable, and happening right now! Just attended the final event of the SHOW project, a fantastic culmination of the project driving #AutonomousMobility across Europe! Here’s what stood out: 1. Key Challenges & Opportunities: - Strategic coordination with existing infrastructure - Public acceptance of autonomous vehicles Public-private partnerships and #StakeholderEngagement are critical to making this a success! 2. Exciting Pilot Projects: Cities like Tampere, Finland, are already testing #AutonomousShuttles, exploring remote operation systems, and gathering real-world data on safety and efficiency. 3. What Cities Should Do: - Integrate Connected and Automated Mobility (#CAM) into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (#SUMP) - Prioritize inclusivity and foster collaboration across sectors 4. Regulation & Societal Impact: Safety and clear regulations will be crucial as we roll out autonomous vehicles. These innovations will reshape public spaces, enhance jobs, and elevate user satisfaction. While the path to full-scale implementation of CAM is gradual, collaboration – both local and international – is the key to unlocking its potential. #SHOWFinalEvent #AutonomousVehicles #UrbanMobility #SmartCities #Innovation #SustainableTransport #PublicTransport #H2020Project

Within the scope of the SMART Ankara Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan project, we continued our trainings to strengthen the capacity of our institutions with “Smart Cities and Intelligent & Innovative Transport Technologies, Autonomous Vehicles and Urban Air Mobility Training” on May 2, 2024. Murat Alican ERSEVER, Head of Transportation Technologies Department of EGO General Directorate, attended the training. Sergi SAURI MARCHAN, Director of CENIT, made a presentation aimed at understanding the concept of smart city and innovative transportation, discussing the elements that should be taken into account in the development of the concept, understanding how the discussed concept is applied through real-life use cases such as autonomous vehicles and urban air mobility, among others, identifying the risks brought by the new concept, having a critical understanding of technological developments related to smart cities and mobility, their positive and negative consequences. #smartankara #smartcities #akıllışehirler #urbanmobility #kentselhareketlilik #sustainabledevelopment #sürdürülebilirkalkınma Avrupa Birliği Türkiye Delegasyonu Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Republic of Turkey Ulaştırma Sektörel Operasyonel Programı Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi EGO Genel Müdürlüğü

Our latest paper explores the shared autonomous electric taxis (SAET) system, focusing on routing and scheduling autonomous electric vehicles for reservation-based shared ride services. We introduce a mixed-integer linear program model, framed as a vehicle routing problem with satellite facilities (VRPSF), incorporating time and capacity constraints. The goal is to minimize total operating costs, including vehicle miles and fleet size. The model tracks vehicle numbers in parking facilities to avoid exceeding capacity. We developed a solution method using an adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm, considering parking choices. Numerical experiments, including a real-world case study in Hangzhou, China, show that ride-sharing and parking facilities can significantly reduce energy consumption and operating costs for SAET operators. In collaboraiton with Prof. Yanfeng Ouyang (UIUC) and Prof. Xiqun (Michael) Chen (Zhejiang University), and our PhD students Qinru Hu and Shiyu Shen. #TSELab #ZJU-UIUC_JointResearchCenter #SharedMobility #ElectricVehicles #RoutingAndScheduling #Ridesharing #US #China Access via the link below: https://lnkd.in/eY5BxHEi

Great news for MIRA and P3 Mobility! Interesting to see P3's success in raising funding in a tough market after Arrival, Vivian, Volta and others all tanked. The thing is, is it enough? Giving automotive technology pathfinder companies not quite enough is nearly as bad as not funding them at all. Established volume car companies routinely schedule $1Bn for a new model. A start up company has to deliver a new model, new facilities, new processes and grow the personnel and supplier base, and build a brand plus distribution network. Disruptors can achieve great things, but if its done on a shoestring, somewhere in that delicate value chain will be a failure waiting to happen. Maybe start ups need to collaborate to avoid spending limited funds on bread and butter "me too" technology so they can truly focus resources on the WOW? At Embed we aim to help small companies do this, ask me or Ivan Wilson how.
