The project aims to develop ecological and low-carbon solutions that support both existing and future mobility services. Additionally, it promotes workplace well-being by encouraging active commuting and improving traffic safety.
The project consists of four work packages:
– Mapping the current situation and anticipating future needs – analyzing traffic volumes, transportation mode distribution, accessibility, infrastructure conditions, and environmental and social aspects.
– Prioritizing needs – identifying the most critical problems and assessing stakeholder perspectives and the impacts of alternative solutions.
– Planning and piloting solutions – developing new mobility solutions through co-creation and piloting low-carbon, autonomous transport models.
– Project management, communication, and impact assessment – ensuring that user needs are met and evaluating the project’s effects on transportation, the environment, and society.
The key objectives include a concrete reduction in emissions, improved safety, and support for diverse commuting options. Furthermore, the project encourages local stakeholders to develop crowdsourced, safe, and low-carbon mobility solutions and improve the industrial area’s image as a technological pioneer.
