Mobilizing Europe's Green Ambition through Bicycles and Intelligent Transport Systems

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B North Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-09-05

Description

Description (EN):

The EC targets a 55% reduction of GHG emission for 2030. Each kilometer cycled reduces emissions by 89% compared to car, contributing hugely to greening of transport in the NSR. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) will make cycling safer, faster, more reliable and easier to use, adding a digital dimension to traditional investments in cycling infrastructure. Expected change MegaBITS will embed cycling ITS in sustainable mobility governance by demonstrating ITS applications for cycling in 5 flagships. Each flagship combines innovative ITS applications focused on a specific theme, e.g. smart cycling corridor. In addition, open data and the Bicycles and ITS Directory will highlight good practices for further replication outside MegaBITS. Outputs and who benefits: 5 flagship projects (in 7 cities/regions), Cyclists experiencing smart cycling, Citizens in the regions/cities, Other cities learning from flagships, Tested ITS solutions for industry, Data owners sharing data, Policy makers using data, App developers using data, Bicycles and ITS Directory, ITS and cycling industry showing ITS solutions and building cycling innovation cluster, Cities/regions finding ITS solutions and knowledge, Knowledge transfer, ITS industry, cycling industry, Cycling policy makers, Academic world Transnational approach: Joint shaping of flagship implementations, Sharing data through the CycleDataHub, Showcasing ITS products, services and knowledge through the Bicycle and ITS Directory, ITS Leaders and Followers, Comparability and transferability through common evaluation methodology, Scaling up from flagship evaluation to policy recommendations on NSR and EU level, Connecting to a.o. National Access Points and EU dataspace. What is new MegaBITS moves from stand-alone ITS applications (in BITS) project) to integrated ITS flagships, demonstrating a.o. smart cycling corridors, smart cycling management, smart cycling data fusion and digitizing urban cycling. Overall Objective: Embed cycling ITS in sustainable mobility governance on regional/EU level by demonstrating ITS applications in 5 flagships, as good practices for replication. Making cycling more attractive (safe, fast, easy) MegaBITS contributes to sustainable urban mobility and transition to CO2 neutral economy.
