City-integrated bike sharing platform

Donkey Republic developed and deployed a hub-centric bike sharing platform. The hub-centric model uses designated parking locations for the pick-up and drop-off of rentable bikes. A hub is defined by the GPS coordinates of a point and a radius (e.g. 10 meters) around that point within which riders can drop off a bike. This allows local authorities to control the use of public space, easily monitor locations and influence fleet distribution and growth. Users can count on bikes being available at specific locations. The Donkey Republic system is enabled by the communication between a mobile app and an electronic ring lock placed on the bike, via a low energy Bluetooth connection.

StoreConnect

StoreConnect wrote: Denmark being the country with one of the highest shares of fluctuating wind energy in the world, it is a predestined role model for the aimed further development around the world. This leading role makes it a unique test centre for energy storage solutions, where we saw the need for a solution, which was fast to implement to overcome today's already existing problems. The underlying basis for our proposal is an existing solution, which uses kinetic energy to store the produced electricity as potential energy. This is done with concrete blocks which are lifted by a six-armed crane, with an intelligent control system to manage its movements, and therefore without the need for height differences in the terrain...

Incentive platform for sustainability

Inno group wrote: App which acts as a platform for the three actors. Citizens are incentivsed by gamification and given points for choosing most green micro mobility options. Micro mobility service providers are incentivised by getting an even more green image and actually being more green as well as retaining customers. Partners are also incentivsed to being more green and by retaining customers... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

E - scooter racks

MiMo racks wrote: The problem is to start and end the daily journey. Therefore we want to propose racks that can be used to store e - scooters inside public trasportations, like busses, trains and trams.

Regulation of inner city traffic

The Toll Both Zone Team wrote: A person is driving alone in their car. As this person approaches the city, ai technology registers the car and the amount of people driving in the car. A fee is then charged depending on the zone, whichis entered, and decreases according to the amount of passengers. The bill is then sent on a monthly basis. The zones become increasingly expensive as the car approaches the city center. There is an opportunity to enforce low/zero-emission city zones. Alongside the toll system, initiatives for more sustainable options are launched. These can include improvements within the public transport system (cheaper fares, etc...

Car-free Aarhus city center

Group two many cars in Aarhus wrote: Today cars can drive freely into the city, we propose that we make a car free zone in the city, but still giving the people flexible transportation options to get in and around the city. We propose that the city of aarhus adapt and introduce the concept of “park and ride” (p+r). P+r is a concept where the cars park outside the city in a parking house and use other more sustainably types of transportation to get into and around the city. The idea is that you park your car in one of the p+r-houses and use your fee as a ticket to other types of transportation. These transportation options could be public transportation like bus or light-rail, or the more flexible micromobility (light vehicles) options like bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters...

MovER: Personalised microbus system

movER wrote: Mover transport is a mode of mobility that seeks to redefine the public transportation experience and facilitate micromobility uptake in order to encourage more sustainable behaviour in aarhus citizens. Using a route optimization platform that operates in realtime, commuters input their pickup location and destination, which aggregated with other commuters in their area to find a common pickup point and drop off locations near their workplace for a personalized . Such points would be walkable to the final destination, but encouraging micromobility alternatives such as vois and swapfeit fleets with availability at the sites to take for shorter distances...

The citizens of denmark should have the tools and means for living in a sustainable way. This will only be possible if education, the right opportunities and a supporting local community is present. How do we create local sustainable communities/municipalities/regions?. We believe, that besides doing the small things, such as saving water or energy here and there, the citizens of denmark should have the opportunities to participate in creating greener local communities while getting together and having fun.

Water purification for developing countries

SolarSack wrote: Solarsack can contain 4 liters of water, and with 4 hours in the sun, the water will be pasteurized, and ready to drink. With about 60 uses, a single solarsack can provide more than 240 liters of water. Solarsack is made to reduce shipping cost, and with a production price 1/5 the cost of a bucket of coal, solarsack can be sold at a profit, and still be affordable to the user. Solarsack is developed based on studies and prototyping in east africa, and the both the purification process and the user interaction is tested with the actual users in africa. Calculation including shipping and distribution still gives solarsack a 1/20 the co2 emission compared to boiling with charcoal, while totally eliminating the use of wood...
