Olympus

From 2012 to 2014
The Olympus platform was a meeting place for actors in sustainable mobility, aimed at exchanging knowledge on transportation behaviour and green technologies. TML analysed the use of different transport modes during the test phases, which helped optimise the mobility system and showed that technical defects negatively affected the use of electric vehicles and shared bicycles.
The Olympus platform was a meeting place for various actors in the field of sustainable mobility, where they could exchange information and knowledge on travel behaviour, green technology, and smart electricity grids, with the aim of promoting and improving those technologies and developing other business models.
Driven by the Flemish Government, the partners invested in electric cars, electric scooters, electric bikes, and bike charging stations across four cities: Ghent, Hasselt, Leuven, and Antwerp. In addition, numerous train stations in Belgium were equipped with electric vehicle charging points.
TML monitored and analysed the use of the different modes as part of the two test phases. We considered the choice of the different transport modes available within the concept of networked mobility. This analysis was an important step towards optimising various aspects associated with the demand side of the mobility system at hand. The analysis was limited to the two main test phases carried out. It showed that test subjects are not dismissive of using electric vehicles or shared electric bicycles, but that technical defects can have a significant impact.
