An international consortium of 20 organizations has won a new Horizon Europe project called EMERALDS. The project develops a toolset for mobility data that makes processing and analyzing large data streams much easier. Besides TU Delft and Argaleo, the Dutch parties Mobility Innovation Centre Delft and Arane are part of the consortium, and the municipalities of The Hague and Utrecht are pilot cities for the project. The total project budget is five million, of which seven tons is available to the Dutch parties.
Every day in the city, many terabytes of mobility data become available about cars, public transport, bicycles, air quality and so on. That's great, but that data is only useful if it can be properly processed and analyzed. The goal of the new European project EMERALDS is to create a toolset, Mobility Analytics as a Service (MAaaS), that makes working with data a lot easier.

Manage, analyze and visualize data
The toolset will enable road operators and other interested parties to collect and manage data of large size, high speed and wide variation. In addition, the toolset supports being able to analyze this data online and offline, use it for forecasting and visualize the results in a digital twin. All these services will respect the strict European legislation, at all levels of the architecture.
The project will start in January 2023. In it, the Transport & Planning Department of TU Delft's Faculty of Civil Engineering, Geosciences and MICD will work closely with digital twin supplier Argaleo and traffic engineering consultants Arane to develop the toolset. The toolset will be tested in the pilot cities of Utrecht and The Hague.
