Will our cities become more and more congested, polluted, and unsafe? Or can Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS) help reverse this trend? Can such novel systems solve mobility problems in any city? Can they be integrated into the urban structure and conventional transport networks? How would users react? Will our cities become more and more congested, polluted, and unsafe? Or can Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS) help reverse this trend? Can such novel systems solve mobility problems in any city? Can they be integrated into the urban structure and conventional transport networks? How would users react? To help answer these questions, the European Commission has funded since 2000, a series of projects to study both the technology needed for CTS and their feasibility in urban environments. They are, in chronological order, CyberCars, CyberMove, EDICT, NetMobil, CyberCars2, CityMobil, and CityNetMobil, launched in late 2008. CityNetMobil aims to raise awareness of CTS in order to increase their acceptance. The project hopes to convince politicians, local mobility planners, and the general public that CTS can provide better access to public transport for all and that they are environmentally friendly, can reduce urban transport’s share of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and are safer than conventional transport modes. » view document
