URBANE

Last Mile 

URBANE aims to develop innovative last-mile delivery solutions that combine clean and connected vehicles and ridesharing models. The project is supported by four demonstrator cities: Bologna, Helsinki, Thessaloniki and Valladolid, and others such as Barcelona and Karlsruhe in Germany. Their action plans are expected to implement innovative, efficient and replicable proposals. 

A European transfer platform will facilitate exchange and learning during the development of the project. It will include tools related to the development of digital ‘twins’, representation of the city or parts of the city to simulate the impact of new technological solutions, smart contracts with blockchain technology, etc.

Connected Mobility

Valladolid participates in the project by providing data on city traffic and enabling the use of its infrastructures. In addition, it will study the adoption of measures to regulate urban goods distribution.  Among its actions, it has launched a survey on goods distribution and citizens' perception. 

The city is already involved in numerous demonstration projects developing innovative mobility solutions. Its experience and capacity will be integrated into the URBANE proposal to amplify the impacts, and enhance its results also as a member of the Spanish Network of Smart Cities (RECI). 

Cutting-edge Partners

The Valladolid-based CIDAUT Technology Centre will develop the communication systems between the vehicles and ICT solutions to reduce environmental impact. In addition, it will strengthen links with the European Battery Association while I-FEVS, a leading Italian company in the electric automotive sector, will provide the electric vehicles and work on the integration of systems in these connected vehicles and automated driving solutions for the safety of vulnerable road users.
