Case Studies

The Platform Edge Technologies project was undertaken by Connected Places Catapult (the Catapult), funded by the Department for Transport, and supported by Transport for London.

Network Rail and Connected Places Catapult won the Safety Award at the Railway Industry Association’s Railway Industry Supplier Excellence awards on 29 June for their work to take forward a new piece of technology known as ‘geofencing’.

The co-creation of climate action plans with citizens generates a multitude of actions where solutions in innovation districts can be tested, proven, and scaled. But how should you select which solution to test first and where? What metrics should be used to prioritise key actions?

When cities create innovation districts, early engagement​ with a diversity of stakeholders ​is critical to their successful implementation​.

An example of how Bristol and Nilüfer learned from each other about the delivery of an energy community.

Electrifying public bus fleets is a net zero action that many cities have in their power to take now – but the instability of the grid in these districts can cause delays in implementing chargers. To address this in Jakarta and Singapore, innovation districts involving local residents and businesses grew from what was, at first, a single-depot public sector project.

Pop-up electric vehicle chargers, green walls and electric scooters were among the systems tested as part of a project exploring how the transport hub of the future could look and function.

Travel behaviour is gradually getting more difficult to predict, hence the increased complexity of travel demand models to fit modern lifestyle, and the increased demand to include autonomy and flexibility. As a direct consequence, we can notice diverse travel patterns as well as the reduced availability of private transport for certain population groups. The “Demand […]
