SEAMLESS SHARED URBAN MOBILITY

Project description

Innovative solutions for sustainable urban mobility

European urban mobility systems require innovative interventions to enhance their sustainability. The EU-funded SUM project has set an ambitious goal: the integration of innovative shared mobility systems with public transport in over 15 European cities by 2026, with plans to expand to 30 cities by 2030. This is centred around key principles such as intermodality, interconnectivity, sustainability, safety, and resilience. The project’s outcomes aim to deliver cost-effective and reliable solutions that align with the needs of various stakeholders, including end-users, private enterprises, and urban authorities. To achieve these objectives, the project will establish five pillars designed to encourage families who rely on cars to transition to sustainable transportation options. These pillars include practical solutions like prediction tools, scheduling assistance, and real-time management.

Objective

The objective of SUM is to transform current mobility networks towards innovative and novel shared mobility systems (NSM) integrated with public transport (PT) in more than 15 European Cities by 2026 reaching 30 by 2030. Intermodality, interconnectivity, sustainability, safety, and resilience are at the core of this innovation. The outcomes of the project offer affordable and reliable solutions considering the needs of all stakeholders such as end users, private companies, public urban authorities. SUM project will develop five pillars consisting of technological, co-creation, and policy tools to tackle the identified NSM barriers for a typical, car-focused family. These five pillars can increase the modal share of NSM via targeted push/pull measures and policy recommendations. SUM will introduce a federation of solutions including prediction, scheduling, integrated NSM-PT ticketing, and real-time NSM management. This created ecosystem will reduce the total door-to-door travel times using integrated NSM-PT. This can change the behavior of 34% of travelers using cars and 17% of travelers sceptic about using NSM. The partners in this diverse consortium have access to innovative tools and expertise making them uniquely positioned to tackle the barriers in 9 living labs and 30 organizations across Europe.
