MELSUNGEN PILOT
Connecting industrial sites and mobility systems for more efficient and sustainable commuting and logistics
Melsungen is a peri-urban area near Kassel in northern Germany, characterised by strong commuting flows and close links to major working hubs, such as B. Braun. These conditions create pressure on local transport systems, with congestion, inefficient logistics flows, and limited alternatives to car-based mobility.
As a satellite of the Rome Mega Pilot, Melsungen focuses on how logistics and mobility solutions developed at metropolitan scale can be adapted to a smaller, peri-urban context. The pilot works closely with local stakeholders to test how these solutions perform in real conditions, particularly in areas with strong links between employment sites and surrounding communities.
The pilot runs in parallel in both cities, each testing solutions locally while contributing to a shared data framework. Its core focus is the development of a unified data environment that integrates information from traffic systems, sensors, satellite data, and citizen input into a single platform.
Key actions
Cooperation with Pilots
Melsungen builds directly on the solutions developed in Rome Mega Pilot, particularly in logistics optimisation and circular delivery systems.
- Tests the application of bio-based packaging solutions (bioPLU) in a peri-urban and industrial context
- Adapts multimodal mobility hubs (PUMHs) to smaller-scale environments
- Contributes to the validation of logistics and routing approaches under different territorial conditions
- Supports the replication of solutions beyond large metropolitan areas
