A safer, more conscious, and sustainable mobility.

New paradigms are shaping a new way of moving and travel, especially in cities; the set of these technologies, the necessary infrastructures, and their application is called smart mobility. 

Business models inspired by the sharing economy and digital technologies are helping to create innovative ways to move from one place to another: ridesharing and on-demand services such as Uber or Lyft are just a few examples.

The ultimate goal is to make movements and transportation more effective and efficient and less polluting. At the same time, with smart mobility, an immense amount of data is generated that, if well managed, can allow a rationalization of mobility itself but also the enabling of new businesses.

The main challenge is to involve as many people and vehicles as possible in the shortest time; in this regard, we can’t just rely only on the youngest generation and the latest vehicle models.

To be truly successful the above process should find new mechanisms to allow the majority of smart mobility’s benefits to be immediately and simply accessible to everyone.

Eureka is actively engaged in this effort, with the SmartCar project: an “on-board-diagnostic” device, which can be easily plugged, without any workshop intervention, into any vehicle; it works with a mobile App as a digital assistant for the driver, able to monitor vehicle health, consumptions, pollution emission, and in case of fault to exchange diagnostic data with a remote Service Center.
