Survey Seeks Industry Insights Across Europe
POLIS is inviting transport and logistics professionals to take part in a new survey examining mobility challenges and opportunities in Europe’s peri-urban areas.
The survey forms part of the BIO-INTEL-MOB project, a Horizon Europe initiative focused on developing innovative approaches to passenger and freight mobility in areas between cities and rural communities.
The research aims to gather practical insights from professionals who understand the operational challenges of these locations.
Peri-Urban Areas Face Growing Mobility Demands
Peri-urban areas often combine characteristics of both urban and rural environments.
These locations can have dispersed populations, mixed land use and increasing transport demand. As a result, traditional urban transport solutions may not always meet local mobility and logistics needs.
The BIO-INTEL-MOB research will examine these challenges from both passenger and freight transport perspectives.
The findings will help identify opportunities to improve mobility and logistics services across these increasingly important areas.
Survey Targets Transport and Logistics Professionals
The survey is designed for professionals working across several areas of the transport sector.
These include:
- Transport and logistics
- Mobility planning
- Transport operations
- Data management
- Passenger mobility
- Freight transport
Professionals with practical experience in peri-urban environments are particularly encouraged to participate.
Their insights will help researchers understand current challenges and identify potential solutions that reflect real-world operating conditions.
Research Covers 12 European Countries
The BIO-INTEL-MOB research covers 12 countries across Europe.
These include Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Türkiye and Ukraine.
The project brings together partners from across these countries to examine mobility patterns and develop approaches that can improve passenger and freight transport.
Survey Takes Around 15 Minutes
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
POLIS says all responses will remain anonymous. Researchers will analyse and publish the results only in aggregated form.
The findings will contribute to future BIO-INTEL-MOB activities. They will also support the development of innovative solutions for passenger and freight mobility in peri-urban areas.
Industry Participation Can Shape Future Mobility
Peri-urban areas are becoming increasingly important as cities expand and transport demand grows.
Understanding the challenges faced by transport and logistics professionals can help researchers develop solutions that better reflect local conditions.
Through the BIO-INTEL-MOB survey, industry stakeholders have an opportunity to contribute practical knowledge to future European mobility planning and logistics development.
