PROMISE is structured into six interconnected Work Packages spanning 36 months (March 2025 β March 2028). Together, they form a comprehensive framework for reducing car dependency through micro-mobility solutions in the 15-minute city context.
WP1
Project Management and Communication
M1 β M36Lead: Dalarna University
Oversees the entire project lifecycle including coordination among 14 consortium partners across 5 countries, financial management, risk mitigation, quality assurance, and both internal and external communication strategies.
T1.1 Management and Coordination Plan
T1.2 Communication Platform
T1.3 Central Data Management Plan
T1.4 Quality and Risk Management
WP2
Intervention Framework and Behavioral Transformation Guidebook
M2 β M28Lead: Smart Innovation Centre
Develops a multi-stakeholder collaborative planning framework integrating behavioral science to guide micro-mobility interventions. Creates the Behavioral Transformation Guidebook with strategies for promoting sustainable transport choices.
T2.1 Examining the existing barriers to integrating micro-mobility transportation
T2.2 Analysis of relevant initiatives related to micro-mobility in different cities
T2.3 Open idea challenges and co-creation workshops
T2.4 Guidebook for Behavioral Transformation towards adopting micro-mobility solutions
WP3
Micro-mobility Decision Support Tool (MDST)
M10 β M30Lead: Aalborg University
Develops a GIS-based decision support tool that helps urban planners identify optimal locations for micro-mobility infrastructure, hubs, and services. Incorporating technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) to provide actionable insights, thus accelerating decision-making and promoting micro-mobility for car reduction. accessibility modeling for evidence-based planning.
T3.1 Comparative analysis of the state-of-the-art of Decision Support Tools (DST)
T3.2 Collaboration with WP2 to identify the diverse needs of policymakers and stakeholders in the pilot cities
T3.3 Cooperate with municipalities via WP4 and use open Street Map (OSM) resources to acquire a wide range of geospatial data
T3.4 Based on T3.1, T3.2 and T3.3, design micro-mobility and logistics networks with focus on database, user interface and interactive futures
T3.5 Development of an interactive Micro-mobility Decision Support Tool (MDST)
WP4
Co-Creation Living Labs with Targeted Pilot Demonstrations
M12 β M32Lead: BraΘov Metropolitan Agency
Implements real-world pilot demonstrations across five Living Lab cities: BraΘov (cargo-bike logistics), Osmangazi (first/last-mile connections), Rethymno (tourist mobility), Bochum (short-distance delivery), and Cologne (inclusive cargo-bikes).
T4.1 Operationalize living labs using collaborative frameworks formed in WP2
T4.2 Execute five targeted pilot demonstrations across different urban contexts, each designed to tackle specific challenges related to reducing car dependency and advancing micro-mobility solutions
T4.3 Systematic collection and management of data essential for the subsequent impact evaluation and performance analysis in WP5
WP5
Impact Assessment and Project Evaluation
M20 β M33Lead: Dalarna University
Evaluates the environmental, social, and economic impacts of pilot interventions. Develops a comprehensive assessment framework measuring modal shift, COβ reduction, accessibility improvements, and stakeholder satisfaction.
T5.1 Establish a procedure for evaluating the project's impact, primarily linking to the outputs of WP2, WP3, and WP4 both qualitatively and quantitatively
D5.2 retrieve the data and information collected mainly in WP4, WP2, and WP3 (interviews, workshops, the layers of city and transport connecting to the MDST, data in the pilot demonstrations, traffic flow analysis)
D5.3 project Impact Report featuring metrics related to modal shift, environmental benefits, accessibility improvements, and stakeholder satisfaction
WP6
Dissemination, Exploitation, and Knowledge Hub Integration
M24 β M36Lead: Dalarna University
Maximizes project impact through strategic dissemination to academic, policy, and practitioner audiences. Integrates all outputs into the DUT Knowledge Hub for long-term accessibility and facilitates knowledge transfer to other European cities.
T6.1 Develop a multi-channel dissemination strategy targeting urban planners, policymakers, industry experts, and the general public to maximize the project's visibility and impact
D6.2 Stakeholder engagement in each partner city to facilitate the practical application of project results
D6.3 Produce and distribute policy briefs and technical guidelines to assist other European cities interested in adopting micro-mobility solutions developed in PROMISE
D6.4 Active integration with DUT Knowledge Hub to share insights and collaborate on the strategic development of transition pathways
