Micro-mobility & free floating bike sharing are disrupting the classical mobility model in European cities. The Brussels region has adopted a balanced legal framework empowering disruptive innovation on the one hand and meeting public interests (such as saving public space) on the other hand
Strategies and Design of Airport City Stockholm Alexander Ståhle
This document outlines the strategic plan for Airport City Stockholm, which aims to create 6 unique city districts connected by air, rail, and road. The districts include Sky City, Park City, Event City, Märsta Business, Cargo City, and Rosersberg. Sky City will serve as the downtown area. The plan focuses on transit and placemaking strategies to connect the districts and encourage walking, with improvements ranging from expanded bus service to new rail lines. The overall goal is for Airport City Stockholm to become the world's first sustainability certified airport city with distinct places that bring people together.
Mobility Challengers - Presentation by Gero Graf, Managing Director of Drivy at the NOAH 2015 Conference in Berlin, Tempodrom on the 10th of June 2015.
This document discusses alternative fuels and their role in improving urban mobility. It begins with charts showing the development of consumer goods like households, TVs, phones, and private cars in the Netherlands from 1950-2015. The objectives of the session are then outlined, focusing on the EU Alternative Fuels Directive and status of alternative fuel deployment. Integrating alternative fuels into urban mobility could improve local air quality and reduce emissions and oil dependence. However, challenges include avoiding increased private vehicle use, taking advantage of trends toward shared mobility, and decreasing road space used for mobility while ensuring safety. The energy source is also a consideration.

Car2go is a carsharing service that has over 3 million members. It provides a convenient and affordable way to drive around cities by finding, driving, and parking cars on a minute-based rental system, with or without pre-booking. Carsharing services like Car2go complement public transit by reducing the number of privately owned cars and parking spaces needed in cities, improving quality of life through less traffic and pollution. Currently over 10,000 rides per day are already in electric vehicles, and Car2go members have driven over 60 million electric kilometers. The company envisions that by 2030, carsharing will be provided through autonomous and electric vehicles.
1) Hasselt, Belgium implemented a comprehensive mobility plan to promote sustainable transportation.
2) Key aspects of the plan included expanding public transit with new bus routes and stations, creating a large car-free pedestrian zone, developing bike paths, and reducing parking and traffic in the city center.
3) The results have been significant with public transit ridership increasing over 12 times between 1997-2012, and over 16% of residents switching from cars to buses.
This document summarizes Colin Buchanan's career and influential publications "Traffic in Towns" and "Transport in Cities". It discusses how Buchanan established an analytical framework for transport planning in "Traffic in Towns" that considered land use, major road separation, environmental standards, accessibility and cost-benefit tradeoffs. While some criticized aspects of "Traffic in Towns", its overall framework and many policy recommendations remain applicable today. The document then introduces "Transport in Cities", noting how urbanization, technology, economic and environmental factors pose new questions. It outlines scenarios around these trends and concludes that while "Traffic in Towns" was remarkably insightful, "Transport in Cities" aims not for answers but an updated framework for thinking about transport
This document discusses improving transport demand management in cities. It notes that cities need efficient transportation of people and goods, reliable energy supply, low emissions and waste, and high quality of life. However, requirements are changing from isolated solutions to interconnected infrastructure systems. The document also quantifies the impacts of congestion in Mexico City, such as 5 million hours of lost productivity annually, and discusses using congestion charging effectively requires good public transport alternatives. It provides an example of a dynamic congestion charging system in Tel Aviv that guarantees speeds on the fast lane.
The document summarizes a presentation by Davis Wang, co-founder and CEO of Mobike, about transforming cities through biking. It discusses how China used to be the "Kingdom of bicycles" but cars increased, causing congestion and pollution. Mobike provides station-less bike sharing that allows bikes to be unlocked through a smart lock and mobile app. Within six months of launching, Mobike grew to serve over 10 million users across 12 cities and 151 nationalities, using big data to help transform cities.
1) Vienna's metro and tram network transported 939 million passengers in 2015 on 664 km of track with 8,759 employees.
2) Ridership is expected to grow to 1 billion by 2020 as Vienna's population grows from 30% urbanized in 1950 to an expected 70% in 2050.
3) The network is investing in modernizing its fleet and expanding routes to accommodate rising demand through 2030.
The document discusses the challenges of urban logistics including limited space, safety issues, congestion, emissions, noise, and infrastructure damage. It explores options to address these challenges such as using intelligence and automation in planning, implementing zero emission transport, establishing city hubs through public-private partnerships, and prioritizing safety and new services. Feasibility of these various options is also considered.

La mobilité dans un monde à 2°C : quel avenir pour les zones périurbaines ?Alicia Bassière
Les voitures occupent une place centrale dans les zones périurbaines en France (et ailleurs dans le monde) : sans elles, les habitants ne peuvent simplement pas y vivre. Ou c’est ce que l’on veut nous faire croire… Quelles sont les alternatives à la voiture individuelle ? Les déplacements en zone périurbaine peuvent-ils réduire leurs émissions de CO2 de manière significative ?
Ce sont autant de questions auxquelles le groupe de travail coordonné par Francisco Luciano pour The Shift Project va tenter de répondre. Ils présenteront les résultats d’une étude argumentée sur le potentiel des alternatives de mobilité bas-carbone en zone périurbaine : un véritable réseau cyclable, le co-voiturage, des transports publics rapides et bien d’autres encore.
Ces conclusions seront présentées puis discutées avec des acteurs majeurs de la mobilité qui discuteront également du futur des voitures individuelles, ainsi que d'autres véhicules, et de leurs possible évolution dans les zones périurbaines.
The document discusses the development of a bicycle transportation model in the Netherlands. It aims to better represent cyclists in transportation decision making by providing insight into the numbers of utility cyclists and missing link calculations. The model, called BRUTUS, uses agent-based modeling to simulate individual cyclist activities, mode choices, and route choices based on attributes like road type, hindrances, beauty, and crossing delays. The model results provide general maps and case studies, and is calibrated using count data to improve it over time.
Whim is a mobility as a service (MaaS) solution that offers transportation services through a single app. It aims to reshape the global transportation market by reducing private car usage and ownership through service sharing and new transportation means. Whim's solution provides customers transportation flexibility and freedom without car ownership by allowing access to a variety of public and private transportation operators through monthly subscription packages. The company launched its first MaaS solution in Helsinki in 2016 and aims to expand globally by 2017-2020.
In the last few years terms like connected, intelligent or smart cities have gained popular appeal, together with an increasing association to technology innovation. Underlying methods and business models, such as data analytics or open data have become part of the dialogue. The presentation looks at data analytics in particular and discusses how it contributes to crossing the chasm between the many promises of the intelligent cities and the reality of urban organizational structures and decision-making.

ADAS&ME presentation @ the SCOUT project expert workshop (22-02-2017, Brussels)joseplaborda
The document summarizes the ADAS&ME project which aims to develop advanced driver assistance systems that can automatically transfer control between the vehicle and driver based on the driver's state and environmental context. The project has a budget of 9.5 million euros over 42 months and involves companies and research institutions developing technologies like high-definition maps, vehicle connectivity, and systems for monitoring driver state and handling non-reactive drivers. Several use cases are outlined focusing on commercial vehicles and motorcycles, with scenarios presented for smooth transitions between automated and manual driving and handling emergencies if the driver does not respond.
E-scooter operators are coming to our cities. There is a clear business interest for them. But cities have a clear interest as well : reducing car traffic, air pollution and reclaiming public space and pushing the number of cyclists in the city. Cities should invest in high-quality cycling services in order to prepare to the Mobility as a Service era.
This document summarizes key lessons learned from Tom Bertulis's benchmarking and bike touring of 8 European countries. The main takeaways are:
1) European cities design their streets to prioritize walking and biking through measures like traffic calming, protected bike lanes, and high street connectivity.
2) Countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany have very high rates of biking as a result of decades of infrastructure investments and policies focused on accessibility, safety, and promoting biking as an attractive transportation option.
3) Replicating aspects of the European approach in U.S. cities will require addressing issues of street design, but also cultural and policy factors that encourage biking and walking over driving

The document discusses mobility initiatives in Brussels, Belgium. It outlines several programs politicians can implement, including regulating transportation, financing options, and equalizing modes. It then highlights Brussels' bicycle plans and safety targets, initiatives to increase cycling like bike sharing and bicycle-friendly employer programs, and European Union support for sustainable mobility goals. The presentation emphasizes the health, environmental, and economic benefits of prioritizing cycling and active transportation.
1) Amsterdam aims to become a zero emissions city by 2025 by promoting electric transportation. It has implemented policies like environmental zones and subsidies to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles like taxis, buses, delivery vehicles, and passenger cars.
2) The city provides over 2,000 public charging stations and the number of electric vehicles and charging sessions is growing rapidly. However, some areas still have air pollution levels above standards due to traffic emissions.
3) Amsterdam stimulates electric transportation through regulations on polluting vehicles, support for businesses to convert fleets, and by requiring its own municipal vehicles to be emissions-free. The goal is to improve air quality and public health in the compact, vibrant city.
On 6 and 7 June 2013, André Bouffioux, CEO of Siemens Belgium-Luxembourg, presented our Siemens’ view on how Smart Cities will develop and generate new business.

The document summarizes a presentation given at the Third European Cycle Logistics Federation Conference in Donostia, Spain from October 15-17, 2015. The presentation discusses three main theories related to the Third Industrial Revolution and how bicycles fit within these theories. In particular, it explores how cargo bikes can transform logistics and transportation as part of the Third Industrial Revolution. It also discusses the need for political support to promote cycling and the positive trends seen in some cities and countries.
1) The document discusses how to integrate biking into urban development in the Netherlands by learning from their approach.
2) It outlines three mobility environments - A, B, C - that separate bike, public transit, and car infrastructure depending on the area's density and location within or outside the city center.
3) Environment A prioritizes bikes and public transit in the city center by reducing car traffic and redistributing public space from parking to cycling. B and C also separate modes but allow some car access in less dense areas.
Richard Evans - European Mobility Week 2015 - Successful Past Events and EMW ...Act TravelWise
Presentation from the European Mobility Week 2015 full-day training workshop held on 15 April 2015 at Camden Town Hall, organised by Act TravelWise with financial support from the Department for Transport.
The document discusses opportunities for transforming cities to be more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change and peak oil. It outlines several types of future cities that incorporate renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, emphasize distributed systems, green spaces, and sustainable transportation. Examples are given of cities that have implemented aspects of these resilient city models through projects like renewable energy infrastructure, light rail public transit expansions, urban greening initiatives, and transit-oriented development. The document argues that dramatic changes in how cities are planned and built will be needed to transition to 80% lower greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The mobility disruption around the corner will largely initiated by three technology advances, but the knock-on impacts will be shaped by economic and social choices, as much as technology.
The document discusses the challenges facing future mobility and potential solutions. It identifies 7 major challenges: CO2 emissions, end of cheap oil, pollution, congestion, parking, unemployment, and trade deficit. It argues that future mobility should be shared, electric, and small-scale through solutions like vehicle sharing, ride sharing, public transportation, and small efficient vehicles. The most efficient transport modes in cities are said to be buses, scooters, and bikes due to their small physical footprint and weight per person carried. The mobility of the future is envisioned to be more shared, electric, autonomous, and focus on small vehicles like the PodRide concept over large vehicles like the Tesla S.

Speakers addressed economic, health and environmental benefits of increasing cycling rates, such as job creation, health cost savings, reduced pollution and accidents. City examples highlighted goals of expanding cycling networks and facilities, bike sharing programs, and using cargo bikes for urban deliveries. Data collection and cost-benefit analyses were presented as tools to evaluate policies and cycling developments.
City changemaker - Istanbul + Mobility workshop - March 28th '15Ronald Lenz
The workshop focused on improving mobility and transportation options in Istanbul through innovative uses of technology. Participants conducted observations of commuters and transportation systems to gain insights. They reframed conventional assumptions to craft a creative question around how social ridesharing could make transportation more convenient and enjoyable. The group envisioned an ideal scenario for 2020 where new transportation solutions in Istanbul provided affordable, green options through innovative uses of smart technology.
The document discusses mobility and transportation systems for the future. It notes that in a world with less raw materials and more intelligence, the question is which mobility solutions will work for everyone everywhere. It then discusses the history that has led to the current mobility situation and how digital technology has revolutionized mobility. It highlights several pillars that must be considered for a mobility system, including energy sources, vehicles, infrastructure, and information.

Presentation - Urban and territorial transitionsCarlos Moreno
The document discusses the changing nature of cities and territories over time. It advocates for a 15-minute city model where most daily needs are within a 15-minute walk or cycle. This model promotes proximity, sustainability, and quality of life through mixed-use neighborhoods, pedestrian-friendly streets, and access to services, work, education and leisure activities locally. The document presents examples of cities implementing aspects of the 15-minute city concept and argues it can help address challenges of climate change, public health crises, and social isolation.
Similar to The future of mobility - how mobility will revolutionize our lives (20)
Urban cycling is not about travelling from A to B, but about city life. #brusselsforpeople - the Brussels public space renewal program of Pascal Smet - tends to make public space more than a mobility space for cars or public transport, but a space where people want to stay, play and meet. #bikeforbrussels is more than a communication campaign or an investment program on separated bike lanes, it is a brand that brings people together and seeks true engagement.

The document proposes creating 50 km of cycling express lanes near railway lines in Brussels to encourage more commuting by bicycle. It notes that currently only 1.9% of commuters in Brussels bike compared to 37% in Copenhagen. The cycling express lanes would be flat paths on approach roads and run parallel to railway lines. The document estimates the cost at €50 million, which is affordable and five times the annual cycling budget for Brussels Region. It provides examples of specific proposed paths and estimated costs. The goal is to make cycling safer, more direct, and reduce barriers to increase bicycling as a means of transportation.
Brussel staat stil. Trams en bussen rijden zich vast in de autofiles. Het openbaar vervoer is nog onvoldoende een alternatief voor de auto. Jef Van Damme: “We moeten een fundamentele keuze maken voor sneller openbaar vervoer. We kunnen niet nog eens 10 jaar wachten op een metrolijn. Brussel heeft genoeg plannen en projecten op lange termijn. Kies voor betaalbare ingrepen die meteen een verbetering opleveren, te beginnen bij de historische steenwegen. Daar willen we het autoverkeer in 1 richting zetten.” Het alternatief van sp.a omvat ook een tiental voetgangerszones en een netwerk aan overstappunten. Het kan binnen de 3 jaar gerealiseerd worden en dit voor een beperkt budget.
Vandaag zijn we fulltime bezig met de crisis: begrotingsdiscipline, banken hervormen, gesloten fabrieken verwerken. Maar wat na de crisis? Wat als de rust en de rede is teruggekeerd? We kijken meewarig terug naar de excessen van op hol geslagen banken en de paniekreacties van de betrokken staten. We hebben geleerd uit de fouten van het verleden. Tot dat verleden behoren onherroepelijk: de verzuiling, het geloof in een bureaucratische overheid, het meelopen met het zelfregulerende kapitalisme. Het besef is gegroeid dat overheid, kapitalisme en ideologieën feilbaar zijn. Wim Vermeersch beschreef naar aanleiding van 100 jaar Vooruit een hernieuwd geloof in lokale initiatieven en burgerinitiatief. Samen met nieuwe technologieën, de informatierevolutie en de groeiende steden voeren ze ons razendsnel naar een nieuwe maatschappij: de netwerksamenleving.
De strijd tegen leegstand werd de voorbije 20 jaar te vaak gevoerd door nieuwe bestraffende instrumenten te creëren. De bal lag steeds in het kamp van de overheid die leegstand moet opsporen en kunnen aantonen. Vandaag krijgen speculanten meer dan ooit vrij spel en worden de instrumenten amper toegepast.
Het is tijd om het roer om te gooien door de burger zelf in te zetten. Laat eigenaars zelf hun leegstand melden bij de overheid (meldingsplicht). Overheid en eigenaar kunnen samen een contract naar hergebruik opstellen door:
- Het gebouw tijdelijk te laten gebruiken door verenigingen;
- Woningen door te verkopen tegen verlaagde prijs aan jonge gezinnen die ze opknappen (DIY-woning);
- kantoren om te vormen tot woningen.
Wie niet meedoet, wordt bestraft met een leegstand- en/of meldingsboete.
The document discusses plans to develop Brussels' canal area as the new city center. It notes that the city center is moving towards the canal, but there is no master plan for development and the canal acts as a barrier between neighborhoods. It identifies challenges in working, living, meeting, and mobility along the canal. It then proposes five urban projects and ten waterfront principles to help concrete a vision, including creating affordable housing, connecting districts with green spaces, and prioritizing public transport and pedestrians over cars.
The document discusses plans to develop Brussels' canal area into a new city center. It notes that currently there is no master plan for the canal and it acts as a barrier between neighborhoods. The vision is to create an interconnected public waterfront through five urban projects that address challenges of work, living, meeting and mobility. This would include redeveloping industrial areas, improving housing, creating public spaces, and enhancing multi-modal transportation along the canal. The goal is to connect communities and establish the canal as the green heart of the city.
Brussels parlementslid Jef Van Damme (sp.a) onthult waarom de mobiliteit in Brussel niet verbetert.
20 miljoen kilometer, Cyclovia, Lyon als voorbeeld, elk jaar meer fietsers… Er wordt heel vaak gecommuniceerd over mobiliteit in Brussel, maar de bereikbaarheid op het terrein verbetert er niet op. Volgens de Barometer van de Belgische Attractiviteit daalt de aantrekkelijkheid van Brussel als zakenstad door het ontzettend grote mobiliteitsprobleem en in 2011 was Brussel opnieuw de filehoofdstad van Europa. Ondertussen overschrijdt Brussel elk jaar de Europese normen voor fijn stof. Nochtans heeft de Brusselse regering op initiatief van Pascal Smet een aantal belangrijke stappen gezet om de mobiliteit in Brussel te verbeteren. Dit beslist beleid – in de vorm van vijf ordonnanties – blijkt in de helft van de legislatuur nog altijd niet uitgevoerd. Jef Van Damme : “De gevolgen van het niet uitvoeren van deze maatregelen ondervinden de pendelaars en Brusselaars elke dag.”

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
