Use Cases on BABLE are real-world reference projects sharing insights and learnings to show you what is already possible. Each Use Case contains a list of achieved benefits, driving factors, financial information, advices for replication and links to relevant Solutions and the implemented Products. There is also the opportunity to contact the BABLE users who participated in implementing and managing the Use Case.
Use Case
Mobility
To support the residents of the rural and isolated neighbourhood Torre Baró, a flexible on-demand mobility service was provided. Additionally, new stops cover the whole residential area of the neighbourhood. The project increased the use of the public transport and reduced the use of private cars.
Use Case
Energy
The Municipality of Barcelona tested using the back up batteries of radio base stations, to increase grid flexibility and provide greater stability. In this way, the stations can be disconnected from the grid on demand and use the batteries instead.
