Representatives of the project’s 15 partners met for their General Assembly in the Swiss city of Winterthur from 09-10 June to discuss their progress and to visit a demonstration site. The assembly was organised and hosted by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the City of Winterthur.
During the two-day meeting experts discussed developments in the project’s work packages, including:
Partners also discussed progress in the project’s five sites chosen to demonstrate the technologies and solutions developed in the project. Two of these sites are in eastern Switzerland, and one each in Ravenna, Italy, the Seine basin in France, and the port of Klaipėda in Lithuania. These demonstrators cover different infrastructure types, climate conditions, and life cycle stages.
The meeting also included a visit to the Leonie-Moser bridge, which will connect the areas of Oberwinterthur and Grüze for pedestrians and buses. It is expected to be completed in September 2026. MOVEO is installing sensors on the bridge to help monitor the flow of passengers as they change between trains and buses.
" I think we are progressing well in all technologies. We are putting the focus on having installations done on the demosites by October,” said project coordinator José Solís Hernández of the Spanish engineering organisation CEMOSA. He says the next steps for the project are finalising installations, finalise some minimum viable products, and prepare for the project’s upcoming review meeting.
