Demand-responsive...
Demand-responsive transport solution is ready to be used in four Estonian counties Today Ridango’s solution is launched for four Estonian counties – Pärnumaa, Tartumaa, Võrumaa, Põlvamaa – and used for social transport. The solution features new convenient customer interfaces – web portal and mobile app, multiple payment options, but also several solution-specific functionalities, like automatic route and task planning, reporting, etc. For the public transport operator, the on-demand service helps increasing efficiency by dispatching the vehicle with the right seating capacity. It also offers detailed monitoring capabilities for the authorities and makes the service provision more transparent. “Ridangos’ new solution offers much greater opportunities. We are not only talking about the fact that the travel orders can now be submitted directly to the call center via web, but now we have a complete database – an overview of customers’ data, their travel preferences, routes, and discounts and schedules. But more importantly, we can now effectively combine different orders into one, which saves both time and money. Ridango’s technological solution is a highly anticipated step towards efficient and customer-friendly public transport,” says Andrus Kärpuk, director of Pärnu PTA. In the future, it is envisaged that the DRT will spread across Estonia and will be fully integrated with fixed public transport routes. An important step towards sustainable future “It is an important step for us”, says Kadri Haufe, the Chief Commercial Officer at Ridango . The need for cost-efficient social transport services and rural public transport is increasing, and we are excited to add the new solution to our products portfolio. It is important to provide solutions that help PTA’s and PTO’s work more efficiently, but at the same time offer customers much-needed flexibility,“ she continues. DRT is the very definition of a win-win. Communities underserved by paratransit and public transport benefit immensely from the agility and accessibility of demand-responsive solutions, while allowing transport service providers to operate with maximum efficiency—in a financially and environmentally sustainable way. With this move, Ridango is placing itself and Estonia squarely among frontrunners in the DRT landscape and reshaping the way people get from A to B.

INVITATION: INDIMO 3rd...
INVITATION: 3rd INDIMO Co-creation Workshop ‘Co-creating the INDIMO Policy Evaluation Tool’ 30 September 2021, 10.00 - 13.00 h CEST Online This workshop is a part of the series of Co-creation workshops and events the INDIMO project partners have been conducting to create the INDIMO digital mobility toolbox. This toolbox will provide a framework and guidelines to transport and logistic stakeholders for the design and implementation of accessible and inclusive digital mobility systems and its related products and services. The objective of the workshop is to present, discuss and refine the first version of one of the components of that toolbox, the INDIMO policy evaluation tool. This tool is expected to aid policymakers, user organisations (NGOs), operators and other mobility professionals in evaluating to what extent an available or proposed digital mobility or logistic solution meets the needs of (potential) users in their city or region in terms of accessibility, inclusion, cybersecurity and personal data protection, and highlight the barriers and deficiencies. It will be in the format of a self-assessment questionnaire and will also give user behaviour nudging suggestions and recommendations to overcome the identified barriers. Furthermore, the tool will allow policymakers to design strategies necessary for reducing digital exclusion in the digital mobility system. In this workshop, the development of the policy evaluation tool will be explained, and a first concept version of the tool will be presented to collect inputs from workshop participants in terms of importance of topics covered by the tool and identification of any additional topics that should be covered by the tool. The refined version of the policy evaluation tool will then be tested in INDIMO pilots and later by a wider network of cities for appraising its transferability. The discussion sessions will cover the application of the policy evaluation tool in the following cases: evaluation of an existing or proposed digital mobility or logistic service, evaluation of existing or proposed mobility policies of a local or regional authority. A draft agenda is attached. Additionally, some material regarding the workshop’s content will be shared in the European Transport and Mobility Forum ( www.etmforum.eu ). If you have trouble logging in or forgot your password, don’t hesitate to contact us. If you are not yet a member, an invitation will follow separately. If you would like to attend the workshop, please register here: https://ssl.vdivde-it.de/registration/3010 When registering, please select the type of stakeholder that describes your profile best. The dial-in link will be sent to you in due time.

Sustainable Mobility...
Do you have a next-generation idea to transform the way people move sustainably in an urban setting? As part of the SPARCS project, KONE launches an open co-innovation challenge aiming to find novel solutions for sustainable mobility. Energy consumption and greenhouse emissions of traffic in cities are some of the greatest urban sustainability challenges towards carbon neutrality. To make cities better places to live, new bold solutions and partnerships are needed to tackle these issues. This is a call for action! Participating companies are invited to contribute to sustainable mobility and development of energy positive cities by proposing new and innovative ideas, business models, or solutions. Ideas can be related to one or many of the current mobility trends: micro-mobility, shared mobility and multimodal navigation. What’s in it for you? The participating companies will go through a mentoring process where the initial ideas will be co-created further with experts from KONE and SPARCS network. The winning company will have the possibility to develop and test the concept in a living lab context together with KONE. The innovation process takes place in Autumn 2021 and piloting of interventions in the first half of 2022. The challenge is targeted at companies around Europe, but the piloting will take place in Espoo, Finland. Submit your idea by October 1st, 2021! See the challenge brief for registration and contact details below. The Sustainable Mobility Challenge is organised by KONE Corporation and Gaia Consulting in collaboration with SPARCS Espoo and Leipzig lighthouse city partners. Find more info on the SPARCS website !

EVENT: Fair & inclusive...
The projects POCITYF, SPARCS, RESPONSE present the online workshop to be held on the 13th of October, 11:30-13:00, as a partner event of the European Week of Region and Cities What is the event about? Based on the outcomes of several European and national projects involving more than 23 cities, we will share insights, tools, methods for citizen engagement and participation in building resilient and sustainable cities, ensuring a fair and inclusive change. Hands-on experience with citizen engagement practices and strategic positioning will be presented by two cities, Espoo (Finland) and Alkmaar (The Netherlands). What is the goal of the event? During the interactive session, participants will be engaged in a discussion to formulate and discuss future challenges instigated by some testimonial videos of different city actors. Participants will come out from this event with a set of useful takeaways for immediate implementation and replication. How can you participate? The event will be fully online. You can register via the Swapcard platform at the following link: https://bit.ly/3ycHZ5y Context : Smart cities have been criticized in the past couple of years for prioritizing technologies over the needs of the city and its citizens. Progressively, several cities have shown the lead on how to involve citizens in the design, conceptualization, testing, and implementation of smart solutions. However, solving complex urban problems and involving citizens in the process is not a simple task for local and regional authorities since it requires a high commitment, resources, and time. Furthermore, the current pandemic is adding another level of complexity to the mix. The pandemic can also be understood as an opportunity to think and do things differently, which in this case could be used to improve and increase the role of citizens in designing and planning the recovery of cities and regions across Europe. Now more than ever a social change is necessary to co-design a new city vision with the involvement of our citizens. This is happening in many different ways, not only in relation to the adoption of technologies but absolutely in the sense of how much changes needed are aligned with the values and well-being of citizens (core psychological human needs), the importance of social cohesion in transitions and the many ways in which additional value can be created (e.g. social/economic impacts) as a result of a transition. To make our cities more sustainable and resilient, time is short and we need to take action, now! How? Strategic planning is an essential requirement for cities to effectively reach this goal, without losing time and resources. Take part in our workshop and bring your city to the next step of the energy transition! The event is organized in cooperation with the Smart Cities and Communities EU-funded projects POCITYF, SPARCS, RESPONSE.

How visitor management...
Visitor management systems can bring many benefits to any establishment, improving their effectiveness. The time savings, error reduction and modern, sophisticated image provided by visitor management systems make companies and entities want to meet the security expectations increasingly demanded by visitors. A visitor management system is a solution that allows organizations to streamline and automate their visitor management and access control processes, using technology to monitor and record visitor information. This visitor management is increasingly important these days, given the importance of providing the best possible experience and to increase security and efficiency in establishments. Besides, they make good first impressions, which are always significant. A visitor management system can also reduce the risk of unwanted people in the establishment, and is therefore an asset when it comes to security. People also want fast and smart solutions. So, these visitor management systems, which use technology and replace traditional, outdated manual systems, are more attractive to visitors. In fact, the great goal of visitor management systems is to help visitors find what they need as quickly, effectively and securely as possible. More than an access control system, this is an opportunity to provide the customer with an unforgettable experience. It is a welcome “carpet” for everyone who visits the establishment. It is a way for the employees of a company or organization to have time for more important tasks. It is a guarantee that the establishment will continue to operate in an exemplary manner. Visitor management systems set expectations and ensure a defined and reliable process for welcoming people who visit the space. Top 10 benefits of visitor management systems 1 – Strengthening of security in the establishment Enhanced security is one of the most important advantages of visitor management systems. It is vital for any establishment, mainly because you can know everything that is happening on the facility. This way, the employees of a particular company or organization can be prepared for any situation. The system also ensures that visitors can only enter authorized areas. On the other hand, the system also keeps confidential information more secure. 2 – Professional and modernized image of the establishment A visitor management system gives a new image to the establishment. Digital kiosks present an updated and organized system to visitors, who live a technological and immersive experience. In addition, an excellent first impression is created on the visitors. This makes them want to return. 3 – Ensuring visitor privacy Visitor management systems, unlike traditional means, keep visitor information secure. This is because visitors can only see their own information. After the initial registration, check-in or login process, the information is quickly and securely archived in the database. 4 – Saving time and money Simplifying and automating visitor registration means that the cost of processing each visitor is reduced. In other words, over time, this can also mean significant cost savings. A visit management system further increases productivity while providing a return on investment (ROI). 5 – Ensuring the well-being of employees Technological visitor management systems can benefit employee well-being by providing a safer workplace. Moreover, the employees of a given establishment can manage a large number of visitors in a simple and effective way. This leads to increased productivity. 6 – Reduced waiting time A visitor management system can reduce the waiting time at any reception desk. In fact, it reduces not only the waiting time of visitors in the establishment, but also the time spent by employees checking them in. 7 – Improved internal communication With a visit management and access control system, employees are automatically notified of the arrival of visitors. This makes internal communication easier. 8 – Sustainability This system allows paperless visit management and is, therefore, a more environmentally friendly option. This initiative can positively affect the satisfaction of visitors, who will be impressed by the establishment’s efforts to ensure sustainability and will feel that they, in turn, are making a positive contribution. 9 – Flexibility and capacity for business growth A good visitor management system is flexible, which means that it is easily customizable. This way, it can be updated easily and can help the business grow and evolve. 10 – Enhanced brand image Integrating technology into an establishment is essential these days for a modern environment that can create a positive impact on the customer. As a result, visitors will feel secure in the facility.

„Wir profitieren alle,...
Ein Interview mit dem Geodaten-Experten Jens Wille zur Frage, wie die Parkraumsensoren der Telekom Städte smarter machen. Seit Frühjahr 2020 stattet der Bereich Urbane Mobilität / Smart City Deutsche Telekom Parkplätze deutscher Städte und Gemeinden in unterschiedlichen Projekten mit smarten Sensoren aus. Ziel ist es, Einsichten in die Nutzung des Parkraums zu erhalten, um so den Parksuchverkehr zu reduzieren und die Städte langfristig lebenswerter zu machen. Spitzenreiter mit bald 1.000 installierten Parksensoren ist derzeit Hamburg, weitere Städten werden folgen. Im Interview spricht Jens Wille, Geodaten-Experte und Geschäftsführer von Ubilabs, der das Projekt gemeinsam mit der Telekom realisiert, über die Sichtbarmachung von Parkraumdaten, die Neuverhandlung des städtischen Raums und eine Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe. Interview : Angelika Brandt Herr Wille, Sie und Ihr Unternehmen Ubilabs sind seit zwei Jahren Projektpartner der Telekom. Worin genau besteht Ihr Part in der Zusammenarbeit? Während die Telekom die Sensoren platziert, kümmern wir uns darum, die Parkraumdaten sichtbar, nutzbar und erfahrbar zu machen. Etwas technischer ausgedrückt: Wir sind mit dem Aufbau einer Echtzeit-Datenpipeline und mit der Analyse und Visualisierung der Daten beauftragt. Aktuell, in der ersten Stufe, geht es um die Anzeige der Ist-Situation auf einem Dashboard. Da können die Anwender:innen Statistiken einsehen oder die Auslastung über den Tag verfolgen. Die Parkraumdaten setzen wir für mehrere Personas um: Hierzu zählen der Anwohner, der wissen möchte, ob ein Parkplatz frei ist, und der Ordnungshüter, der überprüft, ob die Höchstparkdauer eingehalten wird. In Zukunft könnte er auch Hinweise erhalten, an welchen Orten die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Überschreiten der Parkdauer besonders hoch ist. In Zusammenarbeit mit der jeweiligen Stadt erstellen wir dann weitere Personas. Das Projekt soll in den nächsten Jahren diverse weitere Städte umfassen. Wird sich die Mobilität dadurch verändern? Unser Ziel ist es, dazu beizutragen, den Verkehr zu entzerren, sodass die Städte lebenswerter werden. Die Parkplatzsuche macht in Deutschland derzeit 30 bis 40 Prozent des innerstädtischen Verkehrs aus. Parklücken sind somit ein kostbares Gut, das künftig eher noch knapper und teurer wird. Umso wichtiger ist hier Transparenz. Als Autofahrer möchte ich wissen, wie meine Chancen stehen, an einem bestimmten Ort parken zu können, oder ob ich vielleicht lieber mein Auto gleich stehen lasse und ein anderes Verkehrsmittel nehme. Wir wollen einerseits Messbarkeit schaffen, andererseits die Nutzung des städtischen Raums für alle Beteiligten verbessern. Das klingt erst einmal sehr positiv. Gibt es dabei nur Gewinner, oder auch Verlierer? Die Autofahrer:innen müssen sicherlich ein Stück weit umdenken und lieb gewonnene Gewohnheiten ablegen. Die Verteilung des knappen Stadtraums muss neu verhandelt werden. Letztlich profitieren wir aber alle davon, wenn unsere Städte wieder durchatmen können. Als Wahl-Hamburger und studierter Architekt bin ich begeistert, wie gut die Umgestaltung des Ballindamms an der Binnenalster gelungen ist. Seit Ende letzten Jahres gibt es hier viel mehr Platz für Fußgänger:innen und Radfahrende. Sie gehören also der Radfahrerfraktion an? In meiner Brust schlagen zwei Herzen (lacht). Tatsächlich habe ich mehrere Fahrräder - gleichzeitig nutze ich bei Bedarf auch das Auto. >>Man merkt, dass wir eine gemeinsame Vision verfolgen.
