In this webinar, you will learn more about the new generation of integrated transport and spatial planning tools that take into account the changing dynamics of the transport sector. 

Railgrup cluster member ENIDE and the HARMONY coordinator prof. Maria Kamargianni (UCL, MaaSLab) will present the ground-breaking HARMONY Model Suite that is being developed within this Horizon2020 project. They will also elaborate on the drone-freight and automated vans and bus demonstrations that take place within the project to support the development of realistic simulation components in the model suite. 

The HARMONY Model Suite supports the new generation of urban and transport planners to integrate new mobility services and technologies with the traditional transport system of cities and regions. Cooperation and networking among local authorities, researchers, and SMEs are key to reach this ambitious goal.

About HARMONY:

Harmony is a European project funded by the European Commission within the programme Horizon 2020. Its name stands for “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”. Its consortium gathers 21 members from 9 different European countries that will be working together for the three and a half years to come.

Against the background of expanding urbanisation and evolving transport challenges, Harmony will support public authorities and service providers in transport and spatial planning. It will elaborate a model suite, i.e. a platform bringing together not only transport and spatial planning models but also regional community growth models.
