EIT Urban Mobility Smart mobility hub platform

SOUL – Smart mobility hub platform – focuses on the question: How might we enable collaborative and knowledge-based decision making for planning and managing urban mobility hubs? Future urban mobility systems are characterized by multifaceted modes of transport, combining active modes like walking and cycling with mobility as a service options including public transport. Mobility hubs play an important role in making services accessible, meeting user’s needs and enabling seamless interchanges in between modalities respecting the spatial, cultural and societal dimensions of the local urban environment.
SOUL started as an EIT Urban Mobility Early Bird Project in 2019 pointing out the usefulness and usability gaps cities have highlighted in existing decision support systems (DSS) during the previous years.

In 2020 phase, the main task is the concept and design of a DSS framework addressing relevant stakeholders’ needs in planning and management of mobility hubs. The software aims to provide state of the art data exploitation, information processing and knowledge management in combination with a transdisciplinary communication approach.
