Smart travel and transport in Flanders
Congestion and environmental issues have become major concerns in densely populated regions such as Flanders. With traffic volumes expected to grow in years to come, the implications for the economy and society are profound. It is clear that innovative thinking is needed, and urgently so. VIM - the Flanders Institute for Mobility - is working on smart solutions for sustainable mobility in close collaboration with companies, knowledge centres, umbrella organisations and government agencies.
Our ability to move people and goods in an efficient manner is critical to the socio-economic development of Flanders. It is striking that today there are numerous stakeholders involved in the mobility debate, all looking for solutions. But while there is much expertise present at numerous knowledge centres in Flanders, we must recognise that companies are not yet sufficiently involved in truly innovative solutions. Yet it is companies who understand the key mobility challenges like no other.
In 2007, the Flanders Institute for Mobility was launched, to act as a platform for innovation in mobility. The institute set itself the task to develop new products and services for smart travel and transport in Flanders. Its mission – to realise sustainable mobility via innovative solutions and knowledge distribution came from the industry itself.
