Transport Day at URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup 2024

The programme focusing on transport will run from 9:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Complex solutions in new technologies will be discussed with researchers, city representatives and innovative companies in the block TAMING ADVANCED TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIES. The topic will touch on both intelligent transport technologies and autonomous mobility. This will be followed by a second session, TRANSFORMATION OF CITY CENTRES AND THEIR TRANSPORT PATTERNS, which addresses the issue through the lens of urban planning. The last block will be the culmination of the URBIS 2024 programme.

Pilot projects and living labs

Under the title NEW ERA OF PILOT PROJECTS AND LIVING LABS, we will take a look under the hood of the emerging tools that will soon enable companies, municipalities and other players in the ecosystem to experiment with Smart City innovations with methodological and financial support from the EU, the state and regions. The PilotInnCities project (Interreg Danube) will introduce agile piloting of Smart City innovations in municipalities. The innovation interplay between the Brno Trade Fairs, the City of Brno and the South Moravian Region will be outlined by the project The Living Lab is coming to life. The day's programme will be closed by a NETWORKING WORKSHOP IN THE NATIONAL ZONE ON THE PILOTINNCITIES PROJECT.

Exhibitors from the transport sector

In connection with the topic of transport, companies dealing with both analysis and the provision of specific solutions for smart cities will also be presented.  In the context of the trend of shared cars in cities, this will be, for example, the Autonapul cooperative, focused on carsharing, or the shared electric car community peoplecar, provided by e-community solutions s.r.o.  CITYA mobility s.r.o. also deals with operative public transport.

Mobility using cargo bikes will be presented by Švihé Synku and a delivery robot, i.e. an autonomous electric vehicle and a mobile automaton, will be brought by BringAuto.  Solutions for urban traffic modelling will be offered by RoadTwin s.r.o., an ecosystem of intelligent urban mobility based on modern digital technologies will be presented by IoMobility Solutions s.r.o. Urban mobility assessment, heat resistance and microclimate simulation will be one of the services provided by ECOTEN urban comfort s.r.o.

Another company, Cyclomedia, will offer 360° visualizations at street level and the Urban Road Safety Index, a research project focused on traffic safety.  Another exhibitor, MDP GEO, s.r.o., will deal with traffic and energy analysis for smart cities and remote research of the Earth. Traffic sign monitoring and other solutions for smart cities based on wireless sensors and data processing in headquarters will be offered by Sensority. ŠKODA X s.r.o. will also be presenting proven digital projects targeting e-mobility, connectivity, parking (Pay to Park) or applications for multi-modal transport (Citymove). HARDMAN UH a.s. will bring a range of road marking technology.
