European cities are confronting mounting challenges in managing mobility systems: rapidly growing data volumes, stringent privacy regulations, constrained municipal budgets, and increasing citizen expectations for efficient and sustainable transport. The EMERALDS project has demonstrated that cities can overcome these obstacles with practical, affordable, and privacy-preserving real-time mobility analytics.
Through deployments in The Hague, Rotterdam, Riga, and early demonstrations in York, EMERALDS has shown that cities can achieve real-time crowd forecasting, traffic monitoring, and public transport optimisation without major infrastructure overhauls or specialist technical expertise. This brief summarises key project outcomes and presents actionable policy pathways for European cities aiming to operationalise evidence-based mobility management.
The EMERALDS consortium brings together experts in IT, Urban Data Science, Data Engineering, Urban Mobility, stakeholders from public authorities, and SMEs activated in Mobility Planning and Operations. 20 Organisations from 10 European countries will work towards a data-driven future in which entities and individuals can unlock the full value of their data and the European Mobility Data Space aspiration.
