EU Projects

For researchers and stakeholders interested in collaborating with TØI on projects in Horizon Europe, please contact Project Co-ordinator Linda Jacobsen.

TØI has contributed to various EU projects, both as Scientific Coordinator and Beneficiary. Below, please find a list of current and completed projects.

Current projects

MOVE21
Multimodal and Interconnected Hubs for Freight and Passenger Transport Contributing to a Zero Emission 21st Century

Passenger and freight transport must be addressed together so that policies, infrastructure (physical and digital), vehicles and energy sources serve both. These aspects will be tackled in an integrated and coherent way in six urban nodes: From policy definition, to planning and implementation in the cities cooperating in MOVE21. The tested and integrated approach will then be disseminated across Europe.

ULaaDS
Urban Logistics as an on Demand Service

A consortium led by 3 municipalities (pilot cities) committed to zero emissions city logistics (Bremen, Mechelen, Groningen) has joined forces with logistics stakeholders and leading academic institutions to accelerate the deployment of novel, feasible, shared and ZE solutions addressing major upcoming challenges generated by the rising on-demand economy in future urban logistics.

DriveToTheFuture
Needs, wants and behaviour of 'Drivers' and automated vehicle users today and into the future

The project DriveToTheFuture aims to prepare “drivers”, travelers and vehicle operators of the future to accept and use connected, cooperative and automated transport modes and the industry of these technologies to understand and meet their needs and wants.

VIRTUAL
Open access virtual testing protocols for enhanced road user safety

The objective of VIRTUAL is to improve the safety of road users by providing procedures and open access tools to assess the benefit of novel safety systems. The goal is to establish a European based global hub for Open Source Virtual Testing (OpenVT) and to demonstrate its success in traffic safety. Open Source Human Body Models of both men and women will be made available in a format that is scalable to represent different ages and sizes of car occupants, vulnerable road users, and users of public transport.
