Technical Workshop on Active Intelligent Mobility (AIM)

Scope

Optimisation of existing resources has become an area of great interest for both the public and private transport sector. For example, car sharing systems, such as bicycle or car sharing systems, have been proposed as a solution to optimise the number of existing vehicles and traffic, and as a means to contribute to a cleaner environment. 

In the same line, physical activity plays an important role in the health of citizens in today's cities. Activities such as walking or cycling outdoors are two ways to promote physical activity. However, in cities it is not always easy to find safe and healthy routes (e.g. low pollution, low noise, green areas, low traffic, safe, etc.) for these activities. It is necessary to promote the substitution of certain activities that are mostly carried out in polluting transport vehicles by cleaner and healthier alternatives that, at the same time, involve more physical exercise, such as cycling. In view of this situation, both companies and public administrations are very interested in having tools that allow them to automatically promote activities aimed at a more active mobility of citizens.
