Data-Driven Urban Mobility Assessment for Applications in Sweden and the USA

urban mobility

 

Modern cities are turning to Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) to tackle traffic and pollution, but these plans are often hindered by fragmented data and rigid, outdated simulation models. This project bridges that gap by introducing a breakthrough, data-driven methodology that eliminates the need for complex manual calibration. By transforming real-time data from sensors and mobile networks into clear, network-wide traffic predictions, we are providing city planners with a practical tool to make faster, evidence-based decisions for a cleaner and more efficient transport future.

Project Idea

This project is developing an innovative platform that simplifies urban planning by merging complex data into a single, unified view of a city’s transportation network. By gathering information from road layouts, live sensors, and transit services, the platform transforms fragmented data into clear visualisations and real-time tools. This allows city planners to monitor traffic during major events, analyse the impact of road closures, and make informed, data-driven decisions to create more efficient and sustainable urban mobility.

 

Focus Areas

Empowering the Next Generation of Urban Mobility

We are moving away from static, infrequent transport planning toward a dynamic paradigm driven by real-time data. This project bridges that gap, providing a powerful platform that transforms continuous data streams from sensors and connected vehicles into actionable urban insights.

  • Connected Mobility: Our platform ingests high-fidelity vehicle data to create a continuous feedback loop. As more vehicles connect, our tools help cities optimize traffic flow and enhance safety in real-time.
  • Integrated Shared Transport: By analyzing holistic movement patterns, we help municipalities better integrate public transport with emerging shared services.
  • Future-Ready Planning: We provide the analytical foundation for the next decade of infrastructure, from strategic electric vehicle (EV) charging networks to autonomous vehicle deployment.

The Vision: To provide municipalities with a dedicated SaaS platform that complements existing simulation software with real-time assessment capabilities.
