Upscaling Innovative Green Urban Logistics Solutions Through Multi-Actor Collaboration And Pi-Inspired Last Mile Deliveries

Advancing the transition path towards safe, efficient and sustainable last mile transport, the last leg of a journey for the movement of goods, is a priority for the EU-funded URBANE project. It will combine green automated vehicles with shared space usage models to uncover last mile delivery solutions. URBANE will focus on four Lighthouse Living Labs in Bologna, Helsinki, Thessaloniki and Valladolid. The project will leverage digital twinning tools, a data-driven impact assessment radar, and Blockchain technology-led smart contracts to get results, which will enable it to verify the ‘physical internet’ (i.e. transport network) for urban deliveries.
