The mission of MOBILISE is to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and inclusive mobility system. We analyse mobility to assess the external costs of transport and the impact of new policies and technologies on the transport system, the society and the environment. We mobilise people to create awareness of the issues caused by transport, to involve them in the planning and evaluation of the transport system and to accelerate the transformation and change behaviour.
We focus on two main research tracks: urban mobility and sustainable logistics
Over the years, MOBILISE has developed several methods and tools to accelerate the sustainable transition of cities:
- participatory planning and impact assessment tools such as the multi-actor multi-criteria analysis (MAMCA) and the Stakeholder-based Impact Scoring (SIS);
- the External Cost Calculator;
- transport models for freight such as SYMBIT and TRABAM;
- a toolbox of stakeholder and citizen engagement methods for participatory planning;
- the participatory foresight tool Cross Impact Scenario Policy analysis (CRISPA).
