Rather than focussing on the ...
UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN EUROPE KU Leuven
UPPER aims at spearheading a Public Transport revolution that will strengthen the role of PT as the flagship of sustainability and innovation of mobility in cities, leading the transition towards a zero emission mobility which will become the cornerstone of climate neutrality by 2030, in line with the goal of Cities Mission and the priorities of the Green Deal. UPPER will put the Public Transport at the centre of the mobility ecosystem and ...
NextETRUCK : Efficient and affordable Zero Emission logistics through NEXT generation Electric TRUCKs. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
(N2 and N3 type). However, in parallel to that, the recent European climate goals bring challenges for the transport sector. Given the
fact that the typical vehicle development cycles can be of 5-7 years, an immediate collective and collaborative action from the
research organizations, business ...
Rennes-Ghent Summer School 2023 Ghent University
The Inclusive Mobility Summer School will be held in Belgium and France, where EIT Urban Mobility students and external participants will attend Ghent University (UGent) and the University of Rennes 1 (UR1).
Through intensive Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) training, participants will identify challenges related to inclusion in intermodal mobility and design innovative solutions to improve not only physical accessibility ...
ZEFES : Zero Emission flexible vehicle platforms with modular powertrains serving the long-haul Freight Eco System Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Mobility Opportunities Valuable to Everybody Ghent University
(Semi)-rural areas are often excluded from new or green mobility initiatives like car and bike sharing, Uber and large scale 0-emissions transport. Long distances and too few users make these too costly or simply not feasible, so many people use cars. Those who cannot afford/use cars are less likely to get a job or will leave to go to cities. This results in a vicious circle making these areas less attractive for business, or partnerships ...
Uncertainty Treatment and OPtimisation In Aerospace Engineering Ghent University
In an expanding world with limited resources and increasing uncertainty, optimisation and uncertainty quantification become a necessity. Optimisation can turn a problem into a solution, thus the main focus of this ETN is to explore and develop new approaches to treat uncertainty in complex engineering systems and use novel optimisation techniques to efficiently deal with large scale problems with many objectives and uncertain quantities. It ...
Active cities: Active mobility increased for sustainable zero-carbon urban multimodality, through human-centric planning, mobility hubs and behaviour change. KU Leuven
Active Cities increases the share of active mobility (walking, cycling) in North Sea Region (NSR) cities for sustainable zero-carbon multimodality, through: human-centric planning of streets, green-accessibility of mobility hubs (train stations, schools) and behaviour change, putting citizens (back) at the core. Walking and cycling are age-old methods of mobility, emission-free, and healthy, but stagnant or in decline in cities’ multimodal ...
