URBAN MOBILITY
Shared, Electric and Connected
Framework
Mobility is one of the greatest urban challenges, due to the increasing concentration of population in cities. The scarcity of urban space, the over-use of infrastructure, increasing carbon emissions, and the insufficiency or inadequacy of traditional transport systems to meet demand, require new approaches that can counteract the growing use of private cars.
Societal changes, such as personal connectivity, and distributed intelligence at the level of users, infrastructure, vehicles, and service operators, allow us to envisage new more collaborative and participatory models of mobility. If mobility systems have traditionally been considered from a top-down approach based on the management of public transport supply and oriented towards passive users, digital environments will enable the evolution towards systems in which all these elements - users, infrastructure, vehicles and service operators - will be active.
Goals
TO BECOME "THE NEXT MOBILITY THING" FOR CITIES,
THE PROJECT PRESENTS THESE MAIN OBJECTIVES:
01
Electric Scooter
Design, develop and test a new concept of electric scooter for shared operations.
03
Interactivity
With the user, through an interactive design and a mobile application, in an experience that tends to be "digital".
02
Connectivity
With a platform for managing mobility services based on shared use.
04
Adaptability
To the different conditions of cities and of use, such as more power required, safety, flexibility, autonomy, and robustness.
