Akkodis Champions Sustainable Mobility Solutions
Akkodis is embarking on an exciting journey alongside leading European partners to develop cutting-edge traffic management solutions that prioritize sustainable urban mobility. This collaboration is part of the EU-funded FEDORA project, which stands for Federation of Network Optimisation Services, Simulation Foresights, and Data Alchemy for Adaptable, Agile, Secure, and Resilient Multimodal Traffic Management.
Unveiling the Vision of FEDORA
Coordinated by ERTICO – ITS Europe, this initiative brings together a consortium of reputable institutions committed to tackling pressing mobility challenges. By creating a federated digital platform, FEDORA aims to revolutionize traditional traffic management systems, integrating advanced capabilities for real-time sensing and forecasting transport needs.
Core Objectives of the Project
The FEDORA project seeks to address critical limitations in existing traffic management practices. A notable challenge has been the lack of orchestration in multi-modal services and real-world traffic complexities. Ensuring efficient movement of both people and goods is paramount, especially as urban areas grow and evolve in response to sustainability goals.
By developing a collaborative data space, FEDORA will facilitate innovative data processes through the integration of interconnected tools and services. Advanced traffic management optimization and a multi-modal simulation environment will further enhance the project's objectives.
Six Thematic Demonstrations
The project will validate its approach through six thematic demonstrations across diverse contexts, enabling the assessment of various scenarios. These demonstrations will be conducted in selected cities, each with unique urban configurations and infrastructure maturity levels. The initiative will kick off pilot tests in various locations, enhancing both rural and urban mobility services.
The Role of Akkodis in FEDORA
Akkodis is eager to leverage its expertise and prior experience from the Horizon 2020-funded MobiDataLab project. This previous endeavor focused on enhancing data-sharing practices among mobility stakeholders, and the methodologies developed will serve as a cornerstone for the data space in FEDORA.
Through collaboration, Akkodis aims to enhance traffic oversight and improve transport networks significantly. By promoting efficient door-to-door mobility solutions, the project will pave the way for innovative responses to dynamic transportation needs.
Commitment to Innovation
“Akkodis is passionate about utilizing its digital engineering expertise to elevate the FEDORA initiative,” states Tanguy Deren, Director of Innovation at Akkodis France. The collaboration with ERTICO and various partners is poised to create a positive impact on decarbonizing transport solutions, aligning with the EU's vision for sustainable mobility.
