SINERGI project receives funding for a Sino-European collaboration (JPI ERANET-Co fund Urban Europe and NSFC).
SINERGI proposes a comprehensive solution framework for designing and operating sustainable city logistics enabling real-time management and strategic planning of efficient and rider-friendly delivery services.
Seamless Shared Urban Mobility (SUM) Horizon Europe project receives funding from EU.
The objective of SUM is to transform current mobility networks towards innovative and novel shared mobility systems (NSM) integrated with public transport (PT) in more than 15 European Cities by 2026 reaching 30 by 2030. Intermodality, interconnectivity, sustainability, safety, and resilience are at the core of this innovation. The outcomes of the project offer affordable and reliable solutions considering the needs of all stakeholders such as end users, private companies, public urban authorities. SUM project will develop five pillars consisting of technological, co-creation, and policy tools to tackle the identified NSM barriers for a typical, car-focused family. These five pillars can increase the modal share of NSM via targeted push/pull measures and policy recommendations. SUM will introduce a federation of solutions including prediction, scheduling, integrated NSM-PT ticketing, and real-time NSM management. This created ecosystem will reduce the total door-to-door travel times using integrated NSM-PT. This can change the behavior of 34% of travelers using cars and 17% of travellers sceptic about using NSM. The partners in this diverse consortium have access to innovative tools and expertise making them uniquely positioned to tackle the barriers in 9 living labs and 30 organisations across Europe
XCARCITY project receives funding through NWO perspectief.
XCARCITY will develop realistic digital replicas of car-low areas in Amsterdam, Almere and Rotterdam. We will use these ‘digital twins’ to study how people use different smart mobility services. This will help cities, area developers and mobility providers to make informed decisions about smart mobility, ensuring that the car-low urban regions of the future remain accessible.

Dr. Alp Arslan, former postdoc working on CUSTOMIZE project, has been appointed an assistant professor at University of Lancaster.
Open PhD Position in my lab: I am looking for passionate and scientifically excellent candidates specialised in Operations Research. More info can be found below:
Special Issue: I am excited to announce a new special issue for the EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics. This Special Issue aims to invite researchers who can offer novel data-driven efficient algorithms covering a range of methods (optimisation, simulation, data-driven heuristics and data analytics) to tackle large-scale transport and logistics problems. We encourage the participation of researchers proposing new applications and methods to incorporate large scale data sets to design efficient algorithms for large-scale problems.
