Abstract:

BIO-INTEL-MOB aims to transform peri-urban mobility into a climate-neutral, data-driven, and citizen-centric system. The project integrates advanced solutions such as a Mobility Data Space, AI analytics, Peri-Urban Mobility Hubs (PUMHs), Green-Safe Routing, Digital Twins, a circular economy model with bio-packaging, and an intelligent governance framework including a citizen engagement app, a knowledge hub, and policy alignment tools.

Thanks to IoT sensors, satellite imagery, smart cameras, and self-reporting data, the BIO-INTEL-MOB project is designed to develop predictive models and optimize traffic, emissions, and mobility flows.

PUMHs, combined with the GSRA, aim to enhance public transport and shared mobility, with real-time adaptive routing for vulnerable road users and optimized multimodal transfers. In the logistics sector, bioPLU and green-safe corridors will introduce solar-powered micro-logistics hubs and cargo-bike integration, reducing waste and emissions. The Smart Circular Governance (SCGo) framework will support participatory planning through VR/AR interfaces, dynamic citizen feedback, and tools for alignment with EU directives. A Knowledge Hub will provide resources for local adaptation, replicable models, and open-access modules to support cities, authorities, and planners.

The project’s main objectives are summarised as follows:

• Optimize multimodal mobility through intelligent data integration (MultiSmartData).
• Achieve safe, inclusive, and climate-neutral mobility (SafeCitiMob).
• Develop sustainable and circular logistics (EcoLogis & FlexiMob).
• Promote adaptive and participatory governance for next-generation cities.
• Conduct impact assessments for sustainable and scalable solutions.
• Align local policies with EU directives for replicable urban models.
