Europe: Future Mobility.
Background
The Small Call is a new pilot aimed at European SMEs with innovative urban mobility products, services, and solutions that can be brought to market within 12 months from the start of the project.
10 SMEs will each be awarded funding of up to 60k EUR for projects that address one of these key challenge areas:
- Mobility and Energy
- Sustainable City Logistics
- Future Mobility
Future Mobility
New services and disruptive technologies reshape the ways in which we live, work, and move. Public transport solutions that improve the reliability, accessibility, regularity and operations to enable mass transit adoption. This may include digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G, and Internet of Things (IOT), big data analysis, are and will shape all sectors and fields. In the field of mobility, these innovative technologies enable the creation and adoption of new services such as mobility as a service (MaaS), shared micro-mobility services, autonomous driving, and urban air mobility. The future of mobility is to optimise the use of resources while adapting the mobility supply to the continuously changing demand.
Solutions may address:
- Demonstration of new pan-European MaaS services, particularly on ones that integrate micro-mobility services and active mobility with public transport.
- Data spaces Solutions: Development and testing of, digital city models, data ecosystems, new cooperation models, new stakeholders.
- Launch of applications of connected and automated driving for all types of vehicles of the future
- Market introduction of highly automated driving systems towards SAE level 4 is expected.
- Software Defined Mobility such as Vehicle Operating systems and components
- Demonstration of artificial intelligence in mobility management applications e.g., scenario predictions and applications
- Data protection management and cyber-security are key considerations
- Creation of transport-on-demand services adapted to user needs enabling accessibility for low density areas and vulnerable users.
- Use of LTE telecom networks.
- Demonstration of new digital tools / applications / solutions to manage use of urban spaces including road spaces and use of physical internet such as V2X
