• The Initiative will look into two reinforcing strands of action in
relation to New Mobility Services:
– Replication and cooperation between regional innovation clusters,
providing test beds for innovation and willing to share knowledge and
to support replication (Championed with Luxinnovation, and
cooperating with up to 5 other regional innovation clusters).
– Increase the uptake of specific technologies and services that
currently prove their success in EU research (OPTICITIES and MYWAY),
seek replication and cooperate for large-scale roll out (with an
involvement of at least 10 cities).
New Mobility Services

6.
Concept
• Set up a complete mobility data store in European cities (all modes,
maximum coverage of the area, different time scales : historical, theoretical,
real time, predictive data) controlled by public actor
• Develop innovative services, managed where relevant (e.g. information
services) by private sector or by public actors (traffic management)
using the urban mobility data store, with an adapted contractual
framework

Main innovations
 New monitoring systems for urban freight,
multimodal data in large cities, road works
 Interoperability of traveller information apps with
various urban data sets: different apps working in
different environment - 1st world trial
 Continuity of services between traveller mobility
apps and in car GPS: test in Lyon – 1st world trial
 Development of urban multimodal GPS
 Development of real time multimodal management
and dynamic car pooling
 Integration into traffic management systems of 1h
traffic prediction
 Development of high level freight information
services

Creating a market for smart urban
mobility services
OPTICITIES brings a solution for the urban mobility data
‘back office’ - but front office challenges remain:
• Services – fragmentation – (globally) isolated - who is
the target group and what business model to follow?
• Technologies: available ≠ deployment - where to
focus public investment?
• Governance: insufficient communication among
actors – balance Public-Private – decision making
structures and processes – business models

13.
To answer to these questions, the new mobility services initiative
is promoting the practice of regional innovation clusters for
ITS, building on replicable concepts and peer learning,
The ambition is to seek collaboration with up to 5 other clusters.
• Lead by Luxinnovation
• Concrete outcomes:
• Partnering Dutch Automotive Cluster - Luxinnovation
• Cooperation with EARPA on this topic
• European mobility apps page at eu-smartcities.eu under preparation
