Descrizione del progetto
Introdurre mezzi di trasporto urbano per la micromobilità sicuri e intelligenti
Il trasporto intermodale di passeggeri rappresenta una soluzione altamente efficiente per una maggiore sostenibilità degli ambienti urbani odierni. I veicoli leggeri in grado di trasportare un basso numero di persone e dotati di funzionalità intelligenti sembrano essere elementi chiave nell’intermodalità a livello cittadino. Il progetto DREEM, finanziato dall’UE, intende portare a termine e collaudare un monopattino elettrico modulare per la mobilità urbana e suburbana personale. Il progetto concentrerà l’attenzione sul miglioramento del profilo innovativo del veicolo in termini di modularità, facilità di ripiegamento e maggiore sicurezza, nonché sullo sviluppo di nuovi modelli aziendali e applicazioni nell’ambito dell’economia circolare.
Obiettivo
The use of different and optimally combined transport modes in a seamless way is one of the key challenges to achieve greater sustainability in smart cities transport systems. Each mode of transport has its own advantages and satisfies different mobility purposes and needs. The core of new electrified microvehicle concept is to combine design and user needs for an easier usage within traditional transportation modes (e.g. public transport) in both urban and suburban areas.
The project aims at finalizing and testing a safer and modular electric kick scooter (e-KS) for personal urban and suburban mobility. It presents 2 main innovation levels: on the vehicle side with the development of new features in term of modularity, foldability and improved safety; on the systemic side, the consortium will study and present (a) new business model(s) for a win-win situation for all stakeholders. The consortium relies on the extensive experience of consortium partners, on key learnings of on-going projects (e.g. H2020 STARS, CIVITAS Eccentric, IMOVE, STEVE, EU-LIVE), main partner core business (Bumpair for safety, Elaphe & Domel for in-wheel motor and motor controls) and on the inputs from an Advisory Group within the project that will involve representatives from mobility managers, local and city administrators and standardization and certification bodies.
Once users’ needs have been identified and analysed, DREEM aims to test a 3-wheel electric kick scooter in three (3) different pilot cases. Dissemination of key mobility patterns and best practices will be part of the project. While starting with vehicle design and vehicle architecture, the proposal will also explore the feasibility of innovative business models and circular economy.
