HARMONY

Holistic Approach for Providing Spatial & Transport Planning Tools and Evidence to Metropolitan and Regional Authorities to Lead a Sustainable Transition to a New Mobility Era

HARMONY aims to develop a new generation of multimodal transport planning tools, harmonised at European level, that model the dynamics of the evolving transport sector and land-use planning in an integrated way, enabling metropolitan authorities to sustainably lead the transition to low-carbon transport. Small-scale trials of autonomous vehicles and drones are planned to understand their needs and how they can be used in real-world contexts and to collect data useful for modelling in six EU metropolitan areas on six TEN-T corridors: in addition to Turin, Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Oxfordshire in the UK, Athens and Trikala in Greece, and the Upper Silesian-Zaglebie metropolitan area in Poland.

The project in Torino

Turin is one of six metropolitan areas where small-scale trials of autonomous vehicles and drones will take place to understand their needs and how they can be used in real-world contexts and to collect data useful for modelling. In Turin, primary data collection will analyse the social acceptance of new mobility services and technologies. Simulation of co-created scenarios will measure their impact on land use, accessibility, energy consumption, noise and air quality.

Practical steps

The Turin pilot will focus in a modelling study on the territorial impact of the new public transport infrastructure and the new mobility paradigm MaaS (Mobility as a Service) on the Urban Functional Area consisting of the City of Turin and the municipalities of the first and second tier.
