Motives smart city
• Economical changes
• Technological changes
• Other motives:
– Depletion of raw materials
• Peak oil
• Minerals
– Carbon crisis
– Densification/Urbanisation

Role of Mobility• Fundamental for economy • Increases welfare• Vital for internal EU market• Increases quality of life• Decreases quality of life
– Casualties and injuries due to road accidents
– Air pollution health problems and premature deaths
– GHG (health, threats, floods, diseases, etc)– Noise (wellbeing, sleep disturbance, health
problems, premature death)

Keep EU moving
Freedom of movement
Keep freight moving
Keep on moving

Answers from European Union• Thematic Strategies (Urban Environment, Air
Quality, Sustainable use, etc.)
• Environmental Noise Directive
• Vehicle directives regarding ELV’s on CO2, noise, Air components, etc.
• Type approval legislation/regulation
• Labelling directives (tyres, energy,..)
• EUROVIGNETTE
• Action Plan on Urban Mobility
• CAFE directive
• Directive Outdoor Machinery Noise
• White Paper on Transport10 Apr 2023 11

White Paper
10 Apr 2023 13
• De-carbonising transport– No casualties in 2050– Polluter/user pay principle– Stopping subsidies that support carbon use– Clean, safe and quiet vehicles– Strengthening noise emission vehicles– Phasing out convent. fuelled vehicles in
cities– Alternative fuels/CO2 free logistics– Intelligent infrastructure– Labelling CO2/Eco-driving– Urban Mobility Plans– Harmonising pricing systems
Some remarks• The 40 policy actions are very ambitious
• Unclear collaboration with cities
• Decarbonising of urban transport is welcomed
• Cleaner, safer and quieter vehicles are welcomed
• Phasing out conv. fuelled vehicles in urban area
• Mandatory Urban Mobility Plans added value?
• Harmonising restricted areas, pricing schemes cities need flexibility!!– Benefits for tourisme sector and transport sector
– To find a well belanced method/scheme is a targeting challence

Best Practices
• Private transport• Freight transport
– Good deliveries in urban areas
• Collective transport
– Public Transport
– Schools
– Enterprises
10 Apr 2023 15
Passengers_private• Alternative modes (walking,
biking,etc.)• Switch to Public Transport• Car-pool, care-share, greenwheels• Other type of vehicles, like:
– Stop–Start (A/B label)– Natural Gas/Hydrogen – Bio-fuels– Electric Two Wheelers– Hybrid

Electric
Freight transport• Urban distribution/consolidation centre
using:– Vans (electric, hybrid, biofuelled)– Boat/bus/trams– Other like tricycle, cargo hopper, etc.
• Night deliveries– Quiet trucks 72 dB – Quiet operations (behaviour, portable Quiet
forklift trucks, trolleys, containers, tonnage, cool equipment, etc.
• Efficiency by planning,packaging and collaboration.(8-10% savings)
10 Apr 2023 19
Public Transport
• Alternative fuels
– Biofuels
– Electric
– Hybrid
– Other
• Organisation (TfL, Stockholm, etc)

Electric buses
Expected tendency
10 Apr 2023 22
Hybrid buses

Collective transport• School bus re-introduced
• Water taxi/bus
• Small company buses with
employees
• Free Public Transport
10 Apr 2023 24
Smart Infrastructure
• Smart roads
• Smart Traffic Management Systems
• Smart Bus Stops
• Smart transfers
• Smart paying systems
