Aims and objectives of the Call • The #ChallengeMyCity call provides innovative mobility solutions with the opportunity to perform a pilot in a city’s urban environment in real conditions. EIT Urban Mobility is partnering with the city of Madrid (Spain). • EIT Urban Mobility and the city have worked together over the past months to define the priority mobility challenges considering the urban mobility strategy and future investment plans. • Once defined the challenges, they will be addressed by innovative solutions in specific pilot locations and funded for a period of 5 months in 2022. • The pilot implementation will be funded by EIT Urban Mobility and administratively supported by the city. • The impact of the pilots will be evaluated at the end of the pilots' period to assess the potential benefits of a long-term implementation of the tested solutions.
Challenges of the Call • The main objective is to promote the use of greener and more sustainable last-mile delivery methods and a better understanding of the use of the new active mobility areas within the city center. In the context of specific locations, the innovative solutions will be implemented and tested, and eventually impact-assessed to validate a potential replication in other areas of the city. • List of the city challenges: • Challenge A: Logistic hub for green last mile delivery • Challenge B: Safety for bicycle paths & monitoring of cyclist flows • Challenge C: Monitoring active mobility flows in new urban spaces • Each proposal submitted is expected to address one single challenge
Requirements: general • All types of applicants (EIT Urban Mobility and non-EIT Urban Mobility partners) are welcome to participate in this call for proposals for subgrantees. Applicants are expected to be a SME located in a Member State of the European Union or from Third Country associated to Horizon Europe. • The proposal shall be in line with the Vision and Mission of the EIT Urban Mobility Strategic Agenda • The solutions/product should bring novelty and being results-focused • The solution should propose a financial sustainability mechanism to the EIT UM • The solution shall be at least TRL-7 and present a letter of recommendation from a previous pilot implementation.
Requirements: proposal description • In the specific case of this call, the proposal submitted should specify the following: • A description of the proposed solution proving the quality and efficiency of the solution implementation, including a high-level execution and management plan of the pilot, timelines, budget breakdown and milestones. This includes a description for the main role taken up by the applicants. • A description of different performance metrics to be used to objectively evaluate the climate, social and economic impact of the pilot. These metrics should allow EIT UM to quantify those impacts at the end of the project. Measures on exploiting the obtained data metrics should be described, including how this can be used for the solution’s marketing and sales plan. • A marketing and end-user engagement plan that targets specific audiences during the pilot, and a dissemination and communication plan on the pilot activities, impact and outcomes.
Requirements: key performance indicators Proposals will have to explicitly indicate their contribution to the EIT Urban Mobility KPIs: Mandatory KPI (challenges A, B, C) • KSN01 Innovation Pilot Scaling: (target value: 1) • EITHE 2.1 Marketed Innovations: (target value: 1) Non-mandatory KPI (challenges B, C) • KSN03 Public Realm Improvements (Minimum target: 1)
Requirements: Financial Sustainability Mechanism (FSM) Each selected project is expected to generate a return to EIT Urban Mobility’s financial sustainability. Proposals submitted to this call include the commitment to EIT UM's financial sustainability. Specifically, the selected applicants will be requested to negotiate one of the following alternatives: • Preferentially, equity in exchange for the funding provided • Exceptionally, a subscription to the EIT Urban Mobility Growth Lab Programme where start-ups and scale-ups get dedicated support services.
Benefits for awarded solutions The successful applicant will benefit from a wide range of support provided by EIT Urban Mobility and the participating city: • Support from EIT Urban Mobility factory officer throughout the pilot implementation. • Support from the involved city officials throughout the pilot. • Inclusion and promotion of the solution in the Mobility Innovation Marketplace, managed by EIT Urban Mobility. • The opportunity to receive further support in scaling the piloted solution beyond this call (either as equity portfolio start-up or as Growth Lab beneficiary)
Deliverables Challenges Deliverable title Deadline A, B and C Technical Week 1 of the start of the project installation requirements report (including H&S plan) A, B and C Report on metrics First month from the start of the project definition collection. A, B and C Datasets collected during Final month of the start of the project the test regarding the agreed metrics. A, B and C Final Report End of project Challenge A: Logistic hub for green last mile delivery in Madrid Challenge B: Safety equipment for bicycle paths & monitoring of cyclist flows in Madrid Challenge C: Monitoring active mobility flows in new urban spaces in Madrid
Budget Challenge Max. EIT Funding allocation per project proposal A – Logistic hub for green 60,000 EUR last mile delivery B – Safety for bicycle 50,000 EUR paths & monitoring of cyclist flows C – Monitoring active 50,000 EUR mobility flows in new urban spaces Co-funding: no specific co-funding is required in this call, although it can be positively evaluated if two solutions receive the same evaluation scoring.
Challenge A: Logistic hub for green last mile delivery • Manage and operate the space that collects goods from large distribution industry and deliver them to the final client by means of green and zero emission vehicles (cargo bikes, electric vehicles, etc.) • The applicant can be SME /Start-up on their own or a consortium of companies. • Innovation can be demonstrated by proposing an innovative last-mile service for the city, and also by proposing new ways of delivery (e.g. using innovative e-bikes, cargo bikes, Avs, delivery optimisation software, etc.) • The successful applicant will be responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of the solution implemented throughout the pilot period. Preliminary location: Moncloa mobility hub
Moncloa Mobility Hub
Challenge B: Safety for bicycle paths & monitoring of cyclists’ flows • Test innovative solutions that can provide increased safety through the use of smart signalling devices, new lightning techniques, etc. • Said systems can enable enhanced safety by monitoring cyclist flows of users through the implementation of sensors, or similar smart solutions. • The devices should be easy to install/uninstall. • They will be implemented between Plaza Castilla and Chamartín • The objective is to upgrade the safety and/or quality of the current cycling infrastructure, to guarantee the safety of all cyclists and monitor its use to incentivize the uptake of bicycles in the city mobility system. Location for fixed innovations: between Plaza Castilla and Chamartín Other innovations may be free-floating
Between Plaza de Castilla and Chamartín
Challenge C: Monitoring active mobility flows in new urban spaces • A pedestrian-active mobility zone in Puerta del Sol has recently been developed by Madrid City Council. • The objective is to understand the impact of such areas in the city center, from a socio- economic and environmental point of view. • The proposed technology solution should be able to collect data autonomously, analyse it, categorise types of users, and enable the City Council to get an in-depth understanding of mobility flows and interactions in such area. • The solution provider must be able to implement an unintrusive technology to collect users’ flow data. And create a dashboard or reports of comprehensive analyses with recommendations for the city. Location: Puerta del Sol
