DISCO talks multimodal smart city logistics at the Smart City Expo World Congress

On 5 November 2024, DISCO attended the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona during a booth session on ‘Multimodal Smart City Mobility and Logistics in a Synchronized Approach’.

With cities facing increasing challenges in managing traffic congestion, air pollution, and emissions, traditional mobility and logistics models are no longer sustainable. This session explored how innovative projects like DISCO as well as other fellow EU-funded projects such as SYNCHROMODE, FOREMAST, SPINE, and CLEVER are working together to create a synchronized and multimodal approach to smart city mobility and logistics.

Indeed, each project is focused on building solutions surrounding advanced traffic management, zero-emission freight, and climate-neutral transport: this engaging session shed light on the integration of these solutions and the challenges of building a sustainable, connected future for cities.

Key points included:

• Showcase of SYNCHROMODE’s advanced traffic management solutions for optimizing traffic flow across different transport modes.
• Highlight of FOREMAST’s development of zero-emission, automated freight vessels and their potential to reduce road congestion and pollution.
• Demonstration of DISCO’s data-driven platform for facilitating collaboration and optimizing urban freight logistics.
• Discussion on SPINE’s initiatives for creating climate-neutral public transport systems in European cities.
• Explanation of CLEVER’s approach to verifying greenhouse gas emission reductions in the transport sector.
