Abstract

The project, “Sustainable mobility and logistics for post-pandemic second-tier cities” (NEW NORMAL), one of the studies granted by ERA-Net Urban Accessibility and Connectivity Sino-European, consisted of four universities, two municipalities and two SMEs from the Netherlands, China and Sweden. It introduces a novel emission-free, energy-independent and space-efficient mobility system (MaaS-Lane), designed based on the potentials of edge technologies in drones-based logistics, block-chain technologies, on-surface solar panels, wireless EV charging, and hydrogen generation and storage. The project aims at developing and assessing the potentials of MaaS-Lanes in 169 s-tier, and new first-tier, EU and Chinese cities. The project seeks broader impact by publishing scientific results, developing knowledge hubs and interactive GIS database on the 169 cities, facilitating knowledge spillover between European and Chinese scientists and professionals, and detailed application of the approach for one European and one Chinese cities.
