SOM-INN PORT’s Post

Great to see Maritime ITS projects like this. Today, road traffic/transport is very dominant within ITS, but I'm sure Maritime ITS has an important role to play to solve urban mobility challenges, considering that many big cities have access to (possible) waterways.

For as long as public transport has existed, Dutch people have complained about it. Yet our public transport is well organised in many areas, according to researcher Niels van Oort. The focus of his research is on searching for an optimal design for the public transport system, including the modalities used to and from the public transport stop, which in the Netherlands is usually the bicycle. The trick is to design a collective, sustainable, inclusive, and efficient system that meets everyone’s individual needs. Each traveller has different wishes, ideas, and mobility patterns, and this plays out in a country where space is very limited and public transport operators also face staffing shortages.

[European Mobility Week – Ep. 1] 👉 How are Regional Metropolitan Express Services reshaping the future of public transport and contributing to decarbonized mobility? 🌍🚍🌿 In December 2023, the French Parliament passed a law concerning Regional Metropolitan Express Services (french acronym: SERMs). This law outlines the development of multimodal service offerings in major urban areas to achieve two main objectives: improving accessibility and connecting underserved regions while reducing transportation emissions. 🎥 On the occasion of European Mobility Week, join Benoit Guillot, Transport Socio-Economist, and Frédéric BIRER, Railway Operations Engineer, as they explore how this new multimodal transport offering addresses regional mobility needs. 📕 To learn more on SERMs, check out our position paper on the matter: https://lnkd.in/erKpsxvf Preliminary studies, development of multimodal exchange hubs, adaptation of technical systems… With its diverse expertise in governance, operations, and financing, Egis plays a crucial role in shaping these projects. 🚀

They are also the connection between port cities and the planet. Historically, their accessibility was a metaphor for the evolution of the port-city relationship. They changed from being accessible in the past, to gradually become off limits. Fortunately, there is a tendency to give back this access and reopen the piers for the people, inaugurating a new kind of port-city relationship. . But how permeable are these relationships today? What flows are shaping these interactions? How are port cities presenting local answers to global trends? What bridges?

Exploring the challenges & solutions for “Amsterdam IJ" by Rijkswaterstaat - this pilot area faces several unique challenges. 🚤 The Amsterdam IJ is a bustling waterway with a mix of users, from pleasure boats to commercial barges. The increasing traffic poses safety and accessibility issues, requiring effective management by both authorities and users. 📹 Watch our latest video with Stanley Kelder who explains the major challenges facing Rijkswaterstaat and which innovative experiments & solutions they have come up with.   #EU I Interreg I #Innovation I #experiment I #Waterways | Interreg North Sea Programme

🌟 Exciting developments are underway at the Port of Linz under the dynamic leadership of Director Harald Kronsteiner! With the support of the EU-backed "Project Neuland," the port has undergone a remarkable modernization, including expanding the container terminal to 6,500 TEU. Construction for flood protection is in full swing, scheduled for completion by summer 2025. Despite challenges, such as an 8% drop in container throughput in 2022-2023 due to global economic challenges, the port is resilient and bouncing back in early 2024. 🚢✨   🚧 Additionally, the introduction of new rail connections to key European cities is propelling the port's status as a logistics hub to new heights, with even more routes on the horizon! 🚆💼   Curious about ANTS-IN's expansion plans and the incredible developments happening?
