MOMENTUM

The MOMENTUM project will develop a set of tools able to capture the impact of new transport options on urban mobility, in order to support cities to design the right policy mix to exploit the full potential of emerging mobility solutions.

Disruptive technologies and emerging mobility solutions are bringing radical changes to urban mobility. Cities need new tools and methods to capture the impact of new transport options on the urban mobility ecosystem.

The MOMENTUM project aims to fill this gap by developing new data analysis methods, transport models and planning support tools. The project is a partnership between POLIS and other organisations including CERTH, EMT Madrid, and Transport Mobility Leuven. Working in close cooperation with cities, knowledge partners and other experienced stakeholders, MOMENTUM will support cities in the task of designing the right policy mix to exploit the full potential of emerging mobility solutions.

MOMENTUM will focus particularly on Mobility as a Service, connected and autonomous vehicles shared mobility services and demand-responsive transport. The tools and concepts developed within the project will be tested in the cities of Thessaloniki, Regensburg, Madrid and Leuven.


Check out some of this project's key outputs below!

  • MOMENTUM Paper (2019): This compelling project paper places the spotlight on modelling emerging transport solutions for urban mobility, with particular attention to the current state of the art and the challenges that lie ahead. You can read it entirely here!
  • MOMENTUM Final Brochure (2022): Titled “The Way Forward”, this document summarises the project and presents key insights on transport modelling, drawn from the experiences of the four MOMENTUM cities and the wider consortium. You can access it here.
  • MOMENTUM Case report (2022): The decision support toolset presented in this paper aims to enhance transport planning and design by enabling an integrated analysis of a given area to identify the most suitable combination of mobility services. You can check it out here!
