AiRMOUR focuses on research and validating novel concepts and solutions to make urban air mobility safe, secure, quiet and green but also more accessible, faster, affordable and publicly accepted. In response to the call, AiRMOUR presents an approach that takes on one of the most critical and challenging early real life applications of UAM in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). EMS provides a versatile scenario pool that facilitates thoroughly investigating the urgent challenges at hand applying a result driven quadruple helix approach. AiRMOUR fills in the excellence gaps and drastically advances the understanding of needed near-future actions by urban communities, operators, regulators, academia and businesses. The approach and the outcomes will massively benefit the entire UAM development in EMS, but also widely within e.g. the vision of true airborne mobility genuinely supplementing traditional transport modes. AiRMOUR concept centers on thorough research of safety, regulation, user acceptance, sustainability; leveraging them into practical and real-life tangible UAM tools after TRL6 live validations. A strong consortium of research, national aviation, regional and local urban authorities, UAM operators and EMS can guide cities making sure that the impacts are replicated widely. Main outputs are UAM toolbox with a UAM GIS tool for authorities, a UAM guidebook (for cities, operators and other stakeholders) and a UAM training programme together with Eurocontrol, all tested by cities and replicators. The crucial impact of AiRMOUR will be increased UAM competence of city and regional staff and their partners in public transport, energy, innovation and funding. Participation in AiRMOUR allows hands-on testing of the UAM toolbox as well as take-up of future UAM scenarios. Each European local cluster of aviation and urban actors will be able to set-up their own UAM realisation. European policy making and investments will be reinforced with AiRMOUR findings and knowledge.

DISCO will develop and demonstrate - in real-life conditions - a federated European urban freight (UF) data space as one stop shop of data sharing on digital urban logistics solutions and smart tools for ambitious decision making. It will be a continental Ten-T – oriented and distributed real-life ecosystem to prove its value via demonstrated and replicable Use Cases (UCs), build upon innovation drivers to code concrete transformation of urban planning and land use by an open and collaborative UF Data Space with a smart governance model. The DISCO UF Data Space is voluntary based (incentivized), co-created and open framework to achieve a radical transformation and alliance in purpose-oriented data sharing, enabling smart access, fast and resource efficient acquisition, and focused provision, improving knowledge and capacity of city authorities and planners guaranteeing future data availability for dynamic (and predictive) integrated urban logistics planning, synchronizing real-time demand for transport & warehousing with logistics supply, (e.g., as Uber matches the demand for private car transport service with its road drivers’ fleet). DISCO will support European urban logistics players in reducing economic, societal and technical dependence from private digital platforms owned by large global providers, magnifying the scope of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) converging to data-driven Sustainable Urban Logistics Planning (SULPs), expanding them beyond traditional urban boundaries (e.g., rural areas, towns and suburbs, cities, and urban areas according to World Urbanization Prospects ) and beyond Covid-19, to optimally manage, monitor and dynamically predict city freight flows, changing urban nodes accessibility by properly serving Functional Urban Area - FUA on a larger, mixed-use, and flexible scale , and deliver advanced and well-informed planning and purpose oriented, optimised land use within a TEN-T and global dimension.
