Project overview
CITYMOBIL2 was a European project under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. It started in September 2012 and ran for four years.
The main objective of CITYMOBIL2 was to implement large-scale pilot platforms for technical and socio-economic test and validation of automated transport systems (ATS) in urban environments by demonstration and evaluation in cities with different socio-economic conditions.
During the project, large scale demonstrations of ATS were carried out in Lausanne in Switzerland, La Rochelle in France and Trikala in Greece. These demonstrations also allowed CITYMOBIL2 to undertake research focusing on technical, financial, cultural and behavioural aspects, as well as assessing ATS’s potential effects on land use policies and how new systems could fit into existing infrastructure in different cities.
The project had 47 partners including local cites for demonstration, manufacturers of automated road transport systems, and academic/research institutions.
TRG was mainly responsible for defining the evaluation process and for cross-site evaluation of the systems implemented.
