As part of the CARNET initiative and in collaboration with SEAT, inLab FIB has developed an interactive environment to assess mobility solutions for cities. The environment is designed to measure the effect on a city of implementing new mobility concepts (such as shared vehicles) and the impact of increasing the use of alternative vehicles such as electric vehicles. The environment assesses the effects of these new situations through various indicators, including CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and the speed or density of vehicles, at the level of the entire city, its streets or neighbourhoods.
The project was presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2016 on the UPC stand.
