SPACE
Space (Shared Personalised Automated Vehicles) was the flagship project from UITP, with the aim of placing public transport at the centre of the automated vehicles revolution.
Shared Personalised Automated Connected Vehicles
The Space project counted more than 50 partners, all of whom were UITP members.
Cities played a crucial role as engines of the economy, as places of connectivity, creativity, and innovation.
As one of the latest developments in mobility, the arrival of automated vehicles (AVs) represented a unique opportunity for a fundamental change in urban mobility that could result in healthier, more competitive, and greener cities.
Space centred on the notion that this would only happen if AVs were used as shared vehicles integrated into an effective public transport network.
By employing AVs as shared vehicles, such as shuttle buses or in car- or ride-sharing schemes, AVs could drastically reduce car ownership, regain essential urban space, and result in better mobility for all.
Space was an initiative by UITP and counted over 50 partners covering the whole urban mobility sector.
