Innovation capacity and replicability
The approach of C-MobILE is expected to significantly contribute to increased innovation for the value chain of all involved stakeholders (i.e. products and services, business development and exploitation, policy, and processes).
Standards and new knowledge integration
The use of harmonised standards will be a guiding principle for all C-MobILE services and applications.
Competitiveness and market growth
C-MobILE will directly provide benefits to the European private sector entities that are active in the transport and mobility domain, by supporting the development of innovative products and services. Applications bundling will allow them increase their competitiveness by extending relevant markets and speeding up roll-out pace (at national, EU and global levels). Public and private stakeholders involved will have competitive advantages as compared to other actors also by being part of an integrated C-ITS framework (or ecosystem), realised by C-MobILE and brought forward beyond the project life span by city-led business partnerships.
Economic Impacts
C-MobILE achieved significant impacts at macro and micro-economic level. At macro level, the overall improvement of transport operations (i.e. safety and efficiency) will contribute to more sustainable economic activities and better economies of scale, also at local level. C-MobILE shall also contribute to increased return on investment for transport technologies and infrastructures, primarily for the public sector. At micro level, C-MobILE developed economically viable products, services and applications, which will be commercially exploited.
Social Impacts
C-MobILE aimed to improve transport safety and efficiency through the provision of C-ITS services as novel bundles of applications for a variety of use cases and end-users, including VRUs. As a result, the project had significant social impacts in: 1) the reduction of traffic related incidents, accidents and fatalities, 2) the improvement of road traffic flows for people and goods in complex urban areas and of all the major mobility related parameters, such as reduction of travel times and delays, increased average speed.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
C-MobILE had a direct and positive impact on sustainability and the environment, since a major aim of the project was to reduce traffic induced emissions and pollutants through reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Results show up to a 20% less energy and fuel consumption, depending on local deployment configurations and applications bundling. The reduction of CO2 achieved by C-MobILE will also contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
