The global urbanisation megatrend generates an increasing need to transport people, goods and utilities in support of the socio-economic activity of cities. As witnessed daily in many urban environments, the traditional transportation system design methods for road, rail, public transport and other modes have failed in delivering sustainable designs. Historically, transportation infrastructure designs have been formulated as economic productivity engines. The identification of the direct and indirect users and their motivations to use infrastructure has been limited; these factors are even less reflected in the design options considered both in Western Europe and India. Conventional data capture and data analytics have contributed to this limitation. Smart information and communication technologies and services can overcome data capture and data analytic limitations. The premise -the ?Joint Road Forward?- is that ICT enables transportation designs and operations that are more sustainable, inclusive, and economically beneficial for urban communities. To respond to demand, Shell and other companies have proposed Smarter Mobility initiatives pursuing cleaner and more energy-efficient transportation designs. Smart Mobility may result from the smarter use by the community of smarter infrastructure designs built using smarter products. To contribute to Smart Mobility, the project will seek innovations in the smart design and operation of urban infrastructure -using Western Europe and India as reference environments- with regards to: - Participatory methods to involve and consider the interests of the entire population, including the poor, less visible and vulnerable user groups; - Innovative infrastructure management, building techniques, materials, building information modelling and logistics optimisation; - Social and environmental impacts, using Life Cycle Analysis frameworks; - Impact of policy incentives/ regulations on the dynamics of use of the new infrastructure; and - Potential benefits of bespoke solutions as alternatives to ?one-size-fits-all? It is based on the primary research question: ?What can be the impact of participatory tools, including gaming simulations and crowd-sourcing platforms that involve all user groups and layers of society on design, creation and operation of urban infrastructures, both in the Western and Indian contexts?? We will be using participatory to design smart mobility infrastructure in the following three phases: 1. Data acquisition, using existing data sources, crowd-sourcing and data proxies, to explain the temporal mobility patterns and the mobility requirements of a representative urban population; followed by Mobility mining and modelling to map the collected data to mobility preferences; 2. Iterative design of computer-based simulations and participatory gaming simulations by the application of the Product, Social and Institutional (PSI) design framework. The outcomes will be different infrastructure designs and their associated implementation roadmaps; 3. Evaluation of the outcomes to develop implementations roadmaps sensitive to the urban contexts in The Netherlands and India. A variety of large urban contexts, products, societal needs and institutional structures will provide Workspace richness. Focus will be on (i) mature environments, such as the Dutch Randstad ( 7.1million inhabitants, 8,300 km2 - 4,300 km2 urban); (ii) rapidly growing city such as Bangalore (9.6 million inhabitants 1,300 km2); (iii) and an ideal-imaginary tabula-rasa city.
