A key European project to facilitate the wide scale deployment of electro-mobility in the road transport sector has just been launched. The three-year 8544 NeMo project, supported by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme, aims to make electro-mobility more attractive by tackling the key barriers and drawbacks currently associated with electric vehicles.

The NeMo (Hyper Network for electro-Mobility) project directly addresses the changes needed to reduce the dependence of road transport on fossil fuels, to improve air quality and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the concerns around electric vehicle range and recharging that prevent their adoption. It supports European and national policies in favour of clean fuels in the transport sector, including the EU’s Clean Power directive, which also embodies the deployment of an alternative fuels infrastructure, including infrastructure to recharge or otherwise assist electric vehicles (EVs).

NeMo brings together 19 partners from eight European countries to build a hyper-network of tools, models and services to provide seamless interoperability of electro-mobility services among all relevant parties. This network will focus on energy management, security and availability and reducing digital and physical barriers.

The project will develop a distributed environment with open architecture based on standardised interfaces, enabling participants to connect and interact seamlessly, in order to exchange data and to provide improved ICT services via an open virtual cloud marketplace.

    Japan will not only host this year’s ITS World Congress but has been selected for the 2020 Olympics. So what can Japan, and indeed Brazil, learn from the traffic management for London 2012 - Geoff Hadwick finds out. It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and

    A major EU project is studying ways of facilitating the interaction between cyclists and motorists with the help of technical aids in order to reduce the risk of accidents. Project Xcycle, which involves researchers from six European countries, aims to find ways of achieving greater equality for cyclists in traffic, encouraging more cycling, and making travel by bicycle safer. The Swedish Road and National Transport Research Institute (VTI) is a major player in the project and are responsible for evaluating
