Mobility

Mobility and transport are crucial for a city to function properly. Amsterdam is considered the world capital of cycling; 32% of traffic movement in Amsterdam is by bike and 63% of its inhabitants use their bike on daily basis. The number of registered electrical car owners in the Netherlands increased with 53% to 28.889 in 2016. Since 2008 car sharing increased with 376%. However, this is less than 1% of the total car use. Innovative ideas and concepts can help to improve the city’s accessibility, so share your ideas and concepts here.

RE:SHAPING CITIES | LIVE WEBINAR SERIES | 'MOBILITY & THE CITY' | POST-PANDEMIC PERSPECTIVES

Featured image

The landscape of mobility has been in motion for some time now, but the current pandemic is accelerating a shift towards new types of transportation. Is this just a temporary occurrence or will we see a fundamental change in the way we move? As we start to leave our homes again, options to move around are limited. Our cities cannot handle more cars and the capacity of public transport is reduced dramatically. How do we keep ourselves mobile while maintaining enough distance from each other?

In several cities around the world, measures are being taken to give more space to people. Will pedestrians and cyclists get more freedom to move after the pandemic is over? There is a global bicycle boom but has the bike really become a simple, safe, sustainable, and healthy form of transport? And, what about cars. At this stage, you might prefer your own car (if you have one) over public transportation, but will this be different once we can safely sit in the same bus or train again? Will we need fewer cars if part of society continues to work from home? And what roles might spatial planning and emerging technologies play when looking at transportation in urban areas in the years ahead? Let’s explore the path forward together and reshape mobility in our cities.

Bees Digital Farm

Featured image

Ever since the 20th century most of the countries across the globe are still using the traditional way of farming and it’s still going on for the demand and supply of people. As we all know that by the year 2050, the 80 % estimation of the world population will have been living in urban areas which can lead the total population of the world to increase by 3 billion people. With this large amount of increase in population, scientists and researchers are quite worried about the farmland which will be required to generate such a huge demand for food supply to fulfill the necessity to survive. Noticing this fact in mind as what would be the future source of alternative solutions to solve such a type of problem a concept was proposed named “In-House Farming”.

Mindchange nodig om met climate change om te kunnen gaan

We moeten toe naar een ander systeem, waar macht en verantwoordelijkheid weer aan elkaar gekoppeld zijn. Dat kwam naar voren tijdens de MRA University van dinsdag 2 juni. Alleen zo kunnen we toewerken naar een circulaire en klimaatneutrale economie.

‘De coronacrisis laat zien dat we snel kunnen veranderen. Dat is ongelofelijk hoopvol. Maar het is geen garantie dat we na de crisis een betere of een slechtere wereld bouwen.’, stelt Thomas Rau, architect, oprichter van Madaster en vooraanstaand denker over de circulaire economie. Een echt duurzaam herstel vraagt om een mindchange. Hij adviseert om daar actief aan te werken. ‘Laat het opbouwen van de economie daarom niet alleen over aan mensen uit het oude systeem.’

LA on the move

De pandemie van COVID-19 treft ons allemaal. Door de pandemie hebben we een glimp kunnen opvangen van hoe steden eruit zien als het transport grotendeels wordt stilgelegd. Mogelijk is de impact van deze crisis op mobilteit en gedeelde diensten langduriger en onvoorspelbaarder dan we in eerste instantie hadden gedacht.

Door de beperkte werking van transportsystemen worden ook internationale samenwerkingen aangetast. De Smart Mobility Embassy gelooft dat dit het moment is om samen te werken en onze ideeën over wenselijke toekomstige mobiliteitssystemen te heroverwegen, opnieuw te ontwerpen en te implementeren.

De Smart Mobility Embassy organiseert in samenwerking met het Nederlandse consulaat in San Francisco, een webinar over de kansen voor Los Angeles en Nederland om gezamenlijk te werken aan het ontwerp van het mobiliteitssysteem van de toekomst.

Energy synergies in transportation hubs & smart charging pilots

Featured image

Free webinar organised by Cenex Nederland and Stevin

Free online event | June 10 15:00 – 17:00 CET

Energy systems are becoming more complex and decentralised due to the increasing production of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems and their specific constraints in flexibility and availability. In addition, the increased need for the charging of electric mobility, especially in transportation-hubs, create serious societal challenges. These developments ask for a smarter way of dealing with energy supply and demand and require a better use of existing and new infrastructure.

Energy-hubs and smart charging technologies can provide solutions to address the challenges we are currently facing or will be facing soon. In this webinar Stevin and Cenex Nederland will give two keynotes on these subjects. Stevin is a management consultancy firm that is specialised in Asset Management in energy and mobility infrastructure. Its experience with municipalities, grid operators and (public) transport authorities has enabled Stevin to create a framework to achieve successful energy-hubs. Cenex Nederland is an Amsterdam based non-for-profit organisation delivering research and consultancy projects in zero emission vehicle technology and related infrastructure. Cenex Nederland works together with its strategic partner in the UK, Cenex (est. 2005).

This webinar is interesting for you if you are involved in:

  • The development of transportation-hubs
  • The electrification of (public) mobility
  • Procuring and implementing solutions for energy distribution and charging infrastructure
  • Incorporating the Renewable Energy Directive (RED2) and Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPDB)
  • Developing city strategies for energy transition and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)
  • Built environment energy- and fleet management

Session 1 Energy-hubs

Keynote speaker(s): Rogier Pennings & Luuk van Loosdrecht (STEVIN)

The rapid electrification of public mobility has a big impact on transportation-hubs due to the growing need for charging infrastructure. Coordination between municipalities, grid operators, public transport providers and nearby companies is fundamental to make these hubs efficient, both on an economic, environmental and social level. Such coordination will transform a transportation-hub into an energy-hub with various use-cases. Stevin gives a keynote on the concept of energy-hubs and the possible synergies and challenges that emerge while developing these energy-hubs.

In this session you will learn:

  • What energy-hubs are and how these relate to the energy transition and transportation-hubs.
  • The opportunities and challenges that are ahead of us and the role of stakeholders.
  • Our roadmap towards successful energy-hubs.

Session 2 Lessons learnt in procuring smart charging technologies

Keynote speaker(s): Esther van Bergen & Jorden van der Hoogt (CENEX NEDERLAND)

Electric driving is on the rise, and as a result you can see more and more EVs driving through the streets. But this also means that each of these vehicles needs to be charged by electricity, adding stress to the electricity grid. To address these challenges, smart technologies are developed to help reduce load on the net, match supply and demand in a more decentralised energy system and optimise the use of renewable energy. This keynote is based on the learnings from the Interreg SEEV4-City project, which includes six real-life operational pilots in four different (North Sea Region) countries. We will highlight practical insights from and explore the potential for wider-scale application of, the different solutions used.

In this session you will learn:

  • Where we stand in terms of charging technology developments.
  • How you can charge more EVs while reducing the need of grid investments.
  • What challenges you may face in procuring, installing and operating the equipment.
  • What the potential and barriers of wider adoption of different solutions may be.

Hoe kunnen we E-mobiliteit opschalen met regelgeving?

Featured image

Slimme laadpalen en batterijen van elektrische auto’s kunnen worden ingezet voor de opslag van duurzame energie, zodat auto’s, bedrijven en huishoudens in de buurt de energie later kunnen gebruiken. Maar hoe kan deze slimme energie-infrastructuur worden opgeschaald, zodat steden zo efficiënt mogelijk worden voorzien van duurzame energie? Tijdens het derde en laatste closing webinar van project Smart, clean Energy and Electric Vehicles for the City (SEEV4-City) staan beleid en regelgeving centraal, om steden klaar te maken voor de elektrische toekomst.

Slimme laadpalen en batterijen van elektrische auto’s kunnen worden ingezet voor de opslag van duurzame energie, zodat auto’s, bedrijven en huishoudens in de buurt de energie later kunnen gebruiken. Maar hoe kan deze slimme energie-infrastructuur worden opgeschaald, zodat steden zo efficiënt mogelijk worden voorzien van duurzame energie? Tijdens het derde en laatste closing webinar van project Smart, clean Energy and Electric Vehicles for the City (SEEV4-City) staan beleid en regelgeving centraal, om steden klaar te maken voor de elektrische toekomst.

SEEV4-CITY

SEEV4-City, gesteund door het Interreg North Sea Region (NSR) programma, realiseert duurzame energie-projecten in Europa waarin slim laden en slim ontladen van elektrische auto’s centraal staan. Learnings worden gehaald uit zeven SEEV4-City-pilots die zijn uitgevoerd in zes Europese steden: Amsterdam (2x), Kortrijk (BE), Leicester (UK), Loughborough (UK), Burton upon Trent (UK) en Oslo (NO). Wat kunnen we leren van de verschillende aanpakken, niveaus en regelgevingen?

SCHONE LUCHT MET SEEV4-CITY

Gemeente Amsterdam heeft het ambitieuze plan, genaamd Actieplan Schone Lucht, om de stad uitstootvrij te maken in 2030. In 2050 moet de stad zelfs klimaatneutraal zijn. Hoe valt SEEV4-City binnen dit beleid om de luchtkwaliteit te verbeteren en CO2-uitstoot te reduceren? Jaap Burger van gemeente Amsterdam vertelt meer over het actieplan, de roadmap naar 2050 en de kansen vanuit SEEV4-City.

TRANSNATIONAAL DUURZAAMHEIDSBELEID

Er wordt ook transnationaal gekeken: Richard Kotter (UNN, Newcastle), Sture Portvik (gemeente Oslo) en Chris Randall (gemeente Leicester) delen hun bevindingen van jarenlang onderzoek binnen SEEV4-City. Hoe verhoudt het huidige duurzaamheidsbeleid in de Europese steden zich tot de mogelijkheden van SEEV4-City? Zij presenteren beleidsaanbevelingen om projecten met duurzame energie, E-mobiliteit en slimme energienetwerken in Europese steden op te zetten en verder op te schalen.

OPSCHALEN VAN SLIMME LAADTECHNOLOGIEËN

Het gebruik van slimme laadtechnologieën V2G (Vehicle2Grid) en Smart Charging (slimladen) krijgen ook uitvoerig aandacht: de facilitators van de elektrische toekomst en opschaling in de steden. Door Smart Charging wordt zonne-energie optimaal benut en weten slimme laadpalen precies wanneer het ideale moment is om de auto op te laden. Bovendien kunnen de auto’s aan V2G-palen ‘ontladen’, door elektriciteit terug te leveren aan het elektriciteitsnet om op een later moment opnieuw te gebruiken. Jayson Dong, van AVERE - de Europese vereniging voor E-mobiliteit, schijnt licht op het EU-beleid in verband met de V2G-technologie: wat is de rol van de EU om de integratie van de technologie, E-mobiliteit en duurzame energienetwerken te stimuleren?

Meld je aan voor het laatste closing webinar, Policy learning from SEEV4-City pilots: what policies do we need for the future?, en kom meer te weten over beleidsaanbevelingen en tips voor regelgeving om van de elektrische toekomst een succes te maken!

Social Distancing Dashboard provides roadmap for city dwellers

With growing numbers of pedestrians and cyclists returning to city streets, keeping a safe distance of 1.5m can be a challenge in many urban areas due to the way public space (or lack of it) has been designed.

The Social Distancing Dashboard, a project led by scientists from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in collaboration with the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute), helps to raise awareness about constraints posed by the design of public space and contributes to decision making for COVID-19 related interventions in urban planning.

The Dashboard creates city maps that show on a street and neighborhood level if social distance rules can be respected when moving in public space. It offers an overview of different factors – such as the width of the footpath and location of bus stops – affecting our ability to respect social distancing rules.

The dynamic and color-coded maps are open access and available for use by e.g. policymakers, charged with making decisions on public health and city planners, tasked with making COVID-19 related interventions in the urban space. The dashboard is also intended to raise awareness amongst city residents – especially those in risk groups – who want to navigate the city streets as safely as possible.

Tips on designing a 1.5m society using crowd management principles

Society is slowly opening up for business again. More people are going outside. And many businesses and government institutions are redesigning their spaces to give people enough room to keep 1.5m distance. While keeping distance seems like a simple rule, in practice many people find it difficult to stick to them.

That is why I wrote a short blog about the main crowd management principles that are useful to design public spaces for the 1.5m society. These principles are key to optimize the use of our public spaces and make it easier for people to keep their distance (blog is in Dutch).
