Exciting News from REEFLEX project partner, Holbæk Kommune ! We're kickstarting local consumer involvement in the EV charging station infrastructure! 🚙 Holbæk Municipality has rolled out a comprehensive survey targeting around 4,000 citizens in Holbæk City and the surrounding areas.👫 This initiative is all about understanding how consumers interact with the existing EV charging stations and exploring opportunities for improvement.⚡ The survey focuses on key aspects such as: ➡️ availability of EV  charging stations ➡️ accessibility  ➡️ locations ➡️ providing input to expert panel ➡️ interest in V2G-solution The insights gathered will be crucial for Holbæk Municipality as they analyse and identify: ➡️ citizen and consumer needs  ➡️ shortcomings and obstacles ➡️ citizen and consumer expert input for report We’re eager to see how this collaboration shapes the future of EV infrastructure in Holbæk! #REEFLEX #demandsideflexibility #energyservices #demandresponse #Horizon #Denmark  

In April, Battery Pass launched our most impressive results just yet! Therefore we are super excited to share that Battery Pass together with its Technical Guidance and Value Assessment were published in the brand-new Smart Mobility Report as a successful reference on advancing the mobility and automotive sector. The Special Mobility Report is published by bee smart city in collaboration with IAA MOBILITY supported by more than 20 other contributing partners focusing on the future of intelligent mobility in smart cities. It is a visionary exploration that offers an in-depth analysis of future urban mobility trends, challenges, and groundbreaking solutions. It features key insights from mobility pioneers, innovative solutions from leading companies and best practices from cities. Read more about how Battery Pass project contributes to the development of a digital passport to increase transparency and circularity in the battery value chain, supporting sustainability and smart solutions in automotive and other sectors. The report is available here (free access): https://lnkd.in/dyH6t7qC #SmartMobility #BatteryPass #circulareconomy

LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2025 | Net-zero Spatial Planning Tool… Calculate ‘location carbon’ using our new Net-zero Spatial Planning Tool (https://lnkd.in/e6EYdrKN), developed in collaboration with Bioregional and funded by Innovate UK. Designed to help Local Authorities measure the locational impacts of housing on transport, operational and embodied carbon emissions, the tool will be launched during a webinar on 11th February by Lewis Knight, Jo Mortensen and our own Ed Parham. Register here to attend: https://lnkd.in/eCRhZgYX. #SpaceSyntax #locationcarbon #spatialcarbon #sustainability #carbonfootprint #netzero #urbanplanning

This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time at Space Syntax: to measure the carbon implications of different location decisions. The Spatial Carbon Model fills a big gap in total carbon calculations, which otherwise focus on construction carbon and operational carbon at the expense of transport carbon. So we end up with ‘eco village’ estates in the middle of nowhere. Instead, the tool lets planners compare the ‘location carbon’ of different housing allocations. Great working with Bioregional and Innovate UK !

👋 🎉 Exciting News from the A9 Via Gateway Thüringen Project! In celebration of the #environmentday, I am proud to share that our A9 Via Gateway Thüringen – a joint venture between Invesis and VINCI Concessions – has introduced a cutting-edge LED lighting system across all rest areas: ⚡ The intelligent LED system uses smart sensor technology to optimise lighting based on traffic flow and environmental conditions. This means a 40% reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions! 🐝 We’ve also introduced amber lighting, which has less impact on local ecosystems, protecting plants and animals while keeping our roads safe and well-lit. #sustainability #LEDpower #Invesis #VINCIConcessions #VINCIHighways #SmartTech #CO2Reduction #TransportInfrastructure #PPP

Just wrapped up Episode 10 of the Urban Development Deep Dive Podcast, and I can’t stop thinking about the immense potential cities have when they embrace new technologies. 🌍 Sure, implementing something innovative takes courage and, let’s be honest, a solid budget. But what really struck me while preparing this episode is how many creative financing solutions exist—often underutilized or unknown—depending on local legislation and leadership vision. This episode dives into why having a structured framework is crucial for any city ready to step into the future. It’s not just about the tech but about creating the right conditions for it to thrive. In essence it's about following 4 steps: find, test, implement and promote and doing this in a collaborative network of cities. #UrbanDevelopment #CityInnovation #CreativeFinancing #SmartCities

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄? When it comes to selecting the ideal locations for EV charging stations, there are several key factors to consider. Whether you’re planning for personal or public use, strategic placement is crucial for ensuring accessibility and convenience. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind: •⁠ ⁠𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: Understanding the adoption rate of electric vehicles (EVs) in a specific area can aid in evaluating safety considerations and assessing demand in high-priority zones. •⁠  ⁠𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Selecting prominent, easily accessible locations close to high-traffic areas such as toll plazas, commercial hubs, and residential complexes. •⁠  ⁠𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Working with local authorities to ensure the site complies with zoning regulations and aligns with sustainability objectives. At Frontiercity, we’ve applied these principles in our collaboration with ChargeSini, aiming to launch Seremban first public-private EV charging initiative. Together, we are contributing to the city’s transition towards a greener future. #EVCharging #GreenEnergy #WBLand #FrontierCity #ChargeSini

A new research on Smart Cities just came out! We are thrilled to announce our last article by Daniele Bregoli, Marco Ciro Liscio, Noura Nabiti and Paolo Sospiro titled "Exploring the Evolution of Smart Cities: A Review on Energy, Mobility, and Waste Management Aspects" published on April 3, 2024. The article delves into the domain of Smart Cities, exploring how these tech-driven urban environments leverage data and connected systems to improve sustainability, livability, and efficiency for residents, especially in the fields of energy, mobility and waste. If you're interested in the future of cities and the impact of technology on urban development, we highly recommend checking out this article! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dbwqRUDz #smartcities #wastemanagement #energy #mobility

New paper with #FábioHipólito and #PeterBachAndersen on "The role of EV fast charging in the urban context: An agent-based model approach". It is a tour-de-force in agent-based micro-simulation where we investigate the role of fast charging in dense urban areas. We use information-sharing concepts to optimise utilisation and track and predict unserved demand in space-time. One main finding is that dense urban areas must embrace fast charging as slow-charging infrastructures do not scale. https://lnkd.in/dj6FWpjg
