FastTrack: European collaborative project mobility solutions

Groningen is collaborating with a large number of European regions in the FastTrack project. This is a 'Coordination and Support Action' within the European Horizon program and focuses on cities as climate-proof connected multimodal nodes for smart and clean mobility. New approaches are being sought for demonstrating and testing innovative mobility solutions. FastTrack offers an excellent opportunity to present the hive.mobility ecosystem through its founding partner, the municipality of Groningen, to other innovative regions in Europe.

Renewed accessibility indicators for road network municipality of Groningen

For the accessibility of the municipality of Groningen as a whole and the economic core areas in particular, the roads that connect the municipality with the region, province and the rest of the Netherlands are very important. In order to provide a better insight into the quality of the road network, the municipality developed new accessibility indicators together with partners. These are criteria on the basis of which the quality of the accessibility of the municipality is measured.

Autonomous (package) transport Bourtange fortress

The province of Groningen will start a pilot in 2021 to do tests in the field of autonomous (package) transport at the Bourtange fortress. Bourtange is an old fortified village in the province of Groningen. The fortress consists of small streets and bridges and is popular among tourists. Since the fortress is so beautifully demarcated, it's a good location to investigate a number of challenges regarding autonomous (parcel) transport. Autonomous transport involves a vehicle traveling without a driver.

Hubs

The provinces of Groningen and Drenthe, OV-bureau Groningen Drenthe and Publiek Vervoer Groningen Drenthe work together with a large number of parties within the hubs program. This is an initiative to make the hubs in the region even more attractive and to add value through development processes. A hub is a place where you can switch from one mode of transport to another and where you can wait for a little while in a pleasant way.

Making infrastructure of the province of Groningen more sustainable

The province of Groningen manages and maintains the provincial infrastructure and installs new infrastructure. In addition, the province also takes care of several bridges and locks, for example. In all these cases there are possibilities to cut back on CO2 emissions by using other materials.

Making material of the province of Groningen more sustainable

In accordance with the agreements in the climate agreement, all government institutions in the Netherlands must work on making their own vehicle fleet and equipment more sustainable. This concerns small vehicles, but also, for example, inspection vessels or gritters. All these vehicles must be made into zero emission vehicles by 2030 at the latest. However, the province of Groningen is keen to set an example and is therefore accelerating this task.

MOCOLODO: MObility during and after COrona LOckDOwn – sustainability, safety, inclusivity

Hive.mobility partners University of Groningen and the municipality of Groningen will start a study, in the autumn of 2020, into the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our mobility system, together with a number of other knowledge institutions, municipalities and business partners. The research, called MOCOLODO, is funded by NWO-ZonNw.

Urban Logistics as an on-Demand Service (ULaaDS)

Under the banner of hive.mobility, the municipality of Groningen, the University of Groningen, OV-bureau Groningen Drenthe, Dropper and numerous international partners start the ULaaDS project in mid-2020. The aim of the project is to accelerate the deployment of new, feasible, shared and Zero Emission solutions to address the challenges of future urban logistics.

Smart Mobility Campus 2030

Hive.mobility has launched an exploratory study into the future of mobility at the Zernike Campus Groningen together with Groningen Bereikbaar and Campus Groningen. The parties wanted to know what the ideal Zernike Campus will look like, in the field of smart mobility, in 2030 and which steps must be taken to achieve this ideal image.
