Purpose and goal
Micromobility shows exponential growth in cities within food home delivery, e-commerce delivery and MaaS with electric scooters. This is a great potential for sustainable cities and transport efficiency, however there are significant challenges. CoMiMo - Connected Micro Mobility - is based on a system solution that removes today´s obstacles and facilitates future solutions. The project´s goal is a verified system solution that removes the obstacles that exist today for connected, efficient and safe micromobility.
Expected effects and result
A system solution is developed where a unique multi-functional station is the base - the beacon - to solve critical obstacles for user verification, correct parking, security and eliminate the time wasted, logistics and costs of battery management. The project will show solutions based on geofencing and connected vehicles that enable efficient, safe and accessible micromobility. The potential is an open ecosystem in the EU through collaboration within standards for digitization and battery replacement through participation in SBMC (Swappable Battery Motorcycle Consortium)
Planned approach and implementation
The pilot is carried out in Foodora´s regular deliveries with riders on mopeds for 12 months and is compared with today´s production. 20 electric mopeds for food deliveries, as well as 5 beacons in Foodora´s production are included. Real data from the vehicles as well as energy and geofencing data is delivered. A system solution is developed where a unique multifunctional station forms the base - the beacon - to solve crucial challenges. Analysis of data and scalability models for cities in the EU in different scenarios are developed to evaluate the city´s challenges and solutions.
