Smart, sustainable urbanization and mobility

Together we face major challenges: 1 million new homes by 2030, the agreements in the Climate Accord and the need for more green space for a healthy and pleasant living environment. People and goods must be able to move around and everyone must be able to participate in a society where more and more is organized digitally.

Space and budgets were already scarce and the pressure on them is only increasing. We can meet these challenges by making sharper choices, by looking and acting differently and above all by working together. By sharing knowledge and experience much more than we do now, by looking beyond domains and traditional boundaries, and by viewing tasks much more in context. In other words, a different approach and concrete, new solutions. Also in the field of mobility.

Data-driven mobility for smart, clean and safe cities

Data and digitization provide an ever better understanding of what is happening on the streets, including where traffic and transport is concerned. Intelligent traffic lights, known as iVRIs, are just one example of how infrastructure is becoming more digital...
Tailor made travel

Space in the city is scarce: the limits of our mobility system had already been reached and there is simply no room for any more car traffic. But we do want to keep moving. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is aimed at making the...
Smart and clean urban distribution

The supply and transport of goods is essential for the functioning of the city. We want this process to be as smart and as clean as possible. Busy residential areas where delivery vans deliver packages several times a day do not fit in with that....
Data provides steering for the city

More and more data is becoming available. Data provides insight into what is actually happening on the streets. At what times is it busy and at what locations? How are facilities being used? How is bicycle use? Compared to the...
More space for walking and cycling

Living, working, recreation and health care: residential areas can be designed so that as many facilities and functions as possible are within walking or cycling distance. This means far fewer trips are needed and travelers are less dependent on...
Public transport: sustainable and efficient

A flexible and diverse public transport offer is needed to properly meet individual travel needs. This requires agreements between governments and companies offering the transport. In the realization of housing, there must be (more) conscious...
Water storage ensures dry feet

In recent years we have seen more and more examples of how climate change is causing problems. Cities are being forced to take a more critical look at their own buildings, green spaces and water systems, in order to be more resilient in the future...
Digital control scenarios

A control scenario defines for a city or area what should happen where, for example in case of an incident, event or work in progress. By digitizing these scenarios, opportunities arise to better manage liveability in the city or area.
Electric driving and smart charging

Mobility had to be cleaner, smarter and safer. An important part of this is the stimulation of electric transport, not only for consumers, but also for shippers and carriers in the logistics sector and public transport, for example.
Smart and sustainable mobility settlement

In the city, people and goods want to be able to move around as smartly, sustainably and efficiently as possible. This starts with the choice of locations and layout: by organizing proximity and mixing functions such as living, working and recreation,...
Medicines delivered everywhere

Increasingly, road authorities such as Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management), provinces and municipalities, as well as Schiphol Airport, are using drones to inspect infrastructure. In locations where it was previously difficult or even dangerous to inspect, drones offer...
Regions connected quickly and sustainably

Aviation accounts for about three percent of global CO2 emissions. To meet the climate goals, that percentage must go down. Four regional airports have joined forces and are gaining experience with electric flying. The...
Self-driving transport

Automatic cars can greatly improve accessibility and livability in the city. For example, space can be saved because the cars can park more accurately. Automated shuttles can provide a transportation solution for individuals who currently...
