Cities have an imperative role in achieving climate neutrality goals by 2050 through sustainable mobility. Transforming Public Transport (PT) into the cornerstone of the urban mobility stands as a promising opportunity, yet it also poses significant technical, political, cultural and financial challenges to the cities. Focused on PT, the UPPER project introduces U-TWIN and U-NEED, two data-driven tools aimed at supporting cities facing these challenges by enhancing real-time PT monitoring and long-term planning. These solutions empower urban authorities, PT operators, and authorities to optimize PT efficiency and accessibility, fostering increased usage and user satisfaction. This paper highlights the significance of U-TWIN’s transformative real-time visualizations and U-NEED’s comprehensive data analysis for efficient PT management. Emphasizing the anticipated benefits, the tools enable proactive issue detection, identification of corrective actions required, and understanding of passenger flows, contributing to resilient and responsive urban PT systems. Anticipating future use cases to demonstrate the effectiveness of the tools, these solutions are envisaged to be catalysts for sustainable development in all European cities, in line with the overall goal of greener and more efficient urban mobility.

摘要

Cities have an imperative role in achieving climate neutrality goals by 2050 through sustainable mobility. Transforming Public Transport (PT) into the cornerstone of the urban mobility stands as a promising opportunity, yet it also poses significant technical, political, cultural and financial challenges to the cities. Focused on PT, the UPPER project introduces U-TWIN and U-NEED, two data-driven tools aimed at supporting cities facing these challenges by enhancing real-time PT monitoring and long-term planning. These solutions empower urban authorities, PT operators, and authorities to optimize PT efficiency and accessibility, fostering increased usage and user satisfaction. This paper highlights the significance of U-TWIN’s transformative real-time visualizations and U-NEED’s comprehensive data analysis for efficient PT management. Emphasizing the anticipated benefits, the tools enable proactive issue detection, identification of corrective actions required, and understanding of passenger flows, contributing to resilient and responsive urban PT systems. Anticipating future use cases to demonstrate the effectiveness of the tools, these solutions are envisaged to be catalysts for sustainable development in all European cities, in line with the overall goal of greener and more efficient urban mobility.
