RHODES

RHODES PILOT

Adapting to seasonal demand and island conditions through data and real-time management

Rhodes is a major island destination with strong seasonal variations in mobility demand driven by tourism. During peak periods, the transport system faces congestion and pressure on infrastructure, while off-peak periods reveal underused capacity. These fluctuations, combined with limited multimodal integration and fragmented data systems, make mobility management particularly challenging.

As a satellite pilot, Rhodes focuses on how mobility solutions can be adapted to island conditions. The pilot tests how real-time data, routing systems, and multimodal hubs can support more flexible and responsive mobility, capable of adjusting to seasonal demand and local constraints.

Key actions

CONTEXT

An island environment with strong seasonal demand, tourism-driven mobility flows, and limited integration between transport modes.

CHALLENGE

Seasonal congestion, fragmented data, limited multimodal connectivity, and safety risks for vulnerable users.

 

OUR ACTION

Deploy data collection systems, routing tools, and multimodal hubs to improve how mobility is monitored, managed, and adapted to changing demand.

 

IMPACT

Better management of seasonal flows, reduced congestion, improved safety, and more efficient use of infrastructure across peak and off-peak periods.

Key actions

  • Peri-Urban Mobility Hubs (PUMHs)

    Mobility hubs connecting different transport modes, improving access between the B. Braun site and surrounding areas while supporting multimodal travel.

  • Green and Safety monitoring and routing systems (GSRA)

    A set of tools combining AI-enabled sensors and routing algorithms to monitor movement, detect risks, and provide safer and more efficient routes for vulnerable users based on real-time conditions.

  • Advanced Mobility Data Space (aMDS)

    A shared data platform that collects and integrates data from sensors, traffic systems, satellite sources, and user input, providing a unified interface for monitoring and analysing mobility flows.

  • Monitoring systems (AI cameras and IoT sensors)

    Sensor-based infrastructure that tracks traffic patterns, user movement, and safety risks in real time, supporting adaptive mobility management.

Cooperation with Pilots

Rhodes builds on the data-driven approach developed in Vilnius and Riga, applying it in a constrained island environment with strong seasonal variations.

  • Tests the deployment of the advanced Mobility Data Space (aMDS) to integrate diverse data sources in a fragmented system
  • Applies GSRA to manage safety and routing under fluctuating demand and traffic conditions
  • Adapts data collection and monitoring tools to capture seasonal tourism patterns
  • Contributes to validating how data-driven mobility systems perform in geographically constrained and tourism-dependent regions.
