Thematic: Greener, More Connected, More social
Programme: Horizon 2020
Lifetime: June 2023 – May 2027

Goal: The AMIGOS goal is to facilitate new energy models for urban mobility by promoting active and zero-emission mobility. In particular, AMIGOS works for cities to adopt sustainable mobility solutions that are inclusive, cost-effective and safe, and respond to user needs. Through co-creation activities and innovative digital tools, the AMIGOS project will identify current and future mobility challenges for 5 cities (living labs) and 10 urban areas (safety improvement areas). The Metropolitan City of Bologna is part of this second group.

Main actions:

The project will develop a set of digital tools for cities, including:

• A Mobility Observation Box
• An application for collecting new mobility data
• A big data platform for their analysis
• Digital twins to visualise mobility scenarios.

These tools will enable stakeholders (among others, public authorities and vulnerable users) to identify mobility challenges and will serve as a basis for the co-development of solutions for: reducing traffic congestion, increasing public and active mobility modes, improving coexistence between different mobilities for the 5 project cities, and improving safety for the 10 urban areas. The technological solutions and mobility policies will then be evaluated in terms of their environmental, safety, economic and social impact; as well as their medium- and long-term impact and replicability, for implementation in the 5 twin cities.
