Adapting mobility solutions to disrupted urban systems and low-data environments

Kyiv brings a critical perspective to BIO-INTEL-MOB, addressing how mobility systems can function and evolve in a context affected by ongoing conflict. Damage to infrastructure, disruptions in transport services, and limitations in data availability have reshaped how mobility is organised and experienced across the city.

Within this context, the pilot focuses on how mobility solutions can be adapted to conditions where systems are partially disrupted and continuously evolving. Kyiv contributes to understanding how cities can plan, operate, and improve mobility under uncertainty and constraint. The pilot combines data-driven tools, simulation models, and participatory approaches to support more informed and inclusive decision-making.

 

Key actions

CONTEXT

Affected by conflict, the current state of  Kyiv’s infrastructure is disrupted with new mobility patterns, and uneven data availability.

CHALLENGE

Safety of citizens and vehicles, limited and fragmented data, changing transport networks, and increased demand for accessible and reliable mobility.

 

OUR ACTION

Apply data, simulation, and routing tools in a context of disruption and recovery, supporting planning, accessibility, and system adaptation.

 

IMPACT

Improved accessibility, more resilient mobility systems, and practical approaches for managing mobility under constrained and evolving conditions.

Key actions

  • Digital Twin

    A simulation platform used to model mobility scenarios based on available and reconstructed data, supporting planning decisions and system adaptation.

  • Advanced Mobility Data Space (aMDS)

    A data framework adapted to integrate fragmented and evolving data sources, including satellite imagery and partial datasets, enabling monitoring and analysis.

  • Green-Safe Routing Algorithms (GSRA)

    A routing system that provides safer and lower-emission routes based on real-time conditions, adapted to operate under variable and limited data availability.

  • Peri-Urban Mobility Hubs (PUMHs)

    Mobility hubs explored to improve accessibility and connections between different parts of the city as systems are restored and reorganised.

  • Participatory governance and planning tools (SCGo Framework)

    A digital ecosystem that supports citizen engagement and decision-making, centred on the Citizen-Voice App, which allows residents to report mobility barriers, safety issues, and accessibility needs. This is complemented by gamified planning tools and VR/AR simulations that enable co-design of solutions and integrate user feedback into planning processes.

Cooperation with Pilots

Kyiv contributes to the transferability of BIO-INTEL-MOB solutions by testing their adaptability in a context shaped by disruption and recovery.

  • Applies core tools (aMDS, GSRA, Digital Twin, PUMHs) under conditions of limited and evolving data
  • Tests the use of alternative data sources, including satellite imagery
  • Explores how mobility systems can be adapted to support accessibility and continuity
  • Provides insights relevant to cities facing disruption, rapid change, or infrastructure constraints.
