Enabling a Mobility Back-End as a Robust Service

EMBERS, a Smart Cities project, has officially launched on the 18th December 2015. Our new website shows how one innovative solution can support the transition towards an efficient and sustainable mobility ecosystem to improve the quality of life in cities. Ubiwhere, at the core of this consortium, brings together Business and Industry partners to implement and demonstrate an integrated and open solution based on the construction of a Mobility platform. Receiving inputs from different devices deployed at the city scale, enabling to keep track of vehicles, the state of traffic, available parking spaces and air quality, EMBERS is contributing to smarter ways of life. Our solution incorporates these datasets in an exciting and new product perspective, promoting data-driven decision making, allowing communication with citizens and empowering SMEs to reach innovative solutions and new markets. Partners from all across Europe will work with real-life case scenarios making the results available for cities all around the world. By bringing Citibrain, a Mobility Backend as a Service to market, and contributing to the FIRE+ initiative, EMBERS aims at motivating a robust and dynamic usage of the Smart City Mobility Ecosystem in Europe. The opportunity presents itself for a more sustainable mobility, leading to the Future!
