HITS 2

Purpose and goal:

HITS project´s vision is to "Understand and create the conditions for a sustainable transport system in the city". We need to find system solutions with a high degree of freight consolidation (ie sized and well-stocked vehicles) as far as possible into city centers to reduce congestion, vehicle kilometers and energy use. The strength of the project is that we work together to find innovative solutions that lead to both a sustainable business life and a sustainable society.

Expected results and effects: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Efficient goods distribution in cities with off-peak. Consolidation in an urban environment with sustainable transport services. Visualization of concepts around the future urban transport system. Research in System effects and design of sustainable systems.

Project method development for complex systems. Understanding of business challenges and how policy can contribute on a sustainable way. Furthermore, the project is expected to generate indirect results that positively affect Swedish innovation power. Approach and implementation:

The project is managed by Scania with agile project management methodology. Planning and prioritization takes place continuously, based on lernings from the project & needs that can support the sustainable agenda that the project has. In order to address the complex challenges, the methodology will be based on the business and service design toolbox.

Together with the consortium, consumers and the city, we will develop hypotheses that will be tested through simulations. These simulations are also validated through experiments using prototypes to ensure the integrity of the model.
