As cities and ports are constantly evolving. The adoption of digital solutions is crucial to creating smarter, more connected and sustainable transport systems for european prosperity.
Digitalisation is changing the landscape of intermodal and urban mobility, offering unprecedented opportunities to improve road safety, traffic flow and optimise infrastructure.
By using advanced technologies such as connected and intelligent applications C-ITS and ITS, internet of things (iot), artificial intelligence and data analytics, authorities can prioritise modes of transport and emergency services, reduce environmental impacts and improve the overall mobility experience.
The European Commission emphasizes the need for Logistic Hubs, cities and ports to adopt smart technologies to improve urban living, enhance sustainability and foster economic growth.
Key requirements include the development of Smart Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and participation in the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities program to achieve climate neutrality by 2030 through innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
The Climate-Neutral Smart Cities program supports cities in achieving climate neutrality by 2030 through the adoption of innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
Ports implement smart technologies to OPTIMISE logistics, reduce environmental IMPACTS, and improve connectivity with urban areas and the TEN-T network. The TEN-T regulations focus on developing a comprehensive and integrated transport network across Europe, including the deployment of ITS to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of transport corridors.
The VERKKO partners will implement and test the use of innovative IT systems in urban areas and ports.
- innovative Cycling Information Systems for monitoring and managing cycling data
- implement Digital Traffic Regulations
- develop models to predict and manage mobility demand
- integrate cycling data for Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPS) and smart cycling initiatives
- install mobility sensors to monitor pedestrian and cyclist movements
- pilot advanced information exchange for HGVs and optimise predictive flows for the ports
