Our company is managing the participation of Ayalon Highways in the Horizon Europe AMIGOS project. Started in June 2023, AMIGOS is a 4-year Innovation Action funded with 9,1 million euros by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.
AMIGOS stands as for Active Mobility Innovations for Green and Safe Solutions. Through co-creation activities and innovative digital tools, the AMIGOS project will identify present and future mobility challenges for 5 cities (Living Labs – LLs) and 10 urban areas (Safety Improvement Areas – SIAs). The digital tools include a Mobility Observation Box and an application for the collection of new mobility data, which will feed a big data platform for their analysis and digital twins to visualize mobility scenarios. They will allow urban stakeholders to identify mobility challenges and will serve as a basis for the co-development of adapted mobility solutions: towards reducing traffic, increasing public and active mobility modes, improving safety and co-habitation between different mobilities for the 5 LLs, and towards increased safety for the 10 SIAs). Therefore, key stakeholders such as public authorities and vulnerable users will be included in the definition of technological and policy solutions mobility solutions which will be implemented in the cities. Their environmental, safety, economic and social impacts will be assessed, in addition to their medium- and long-term impact and their replicability, in view of their implementation in 5 Twin Cities -TCs).
