As the world’s wheels begin to turn again, many cities are taking advantage of a unique opportunity to rethink urban space and ensure healthier streets.

One of the central values at Shotl is that the data we collect is valuable for transport operators and city planners. That’s why, every Monday morning, we deliver a report with the most relevant KPIs.

The requirement for more space is driving city pioneers around the World to reexamine how space is utilized, reclaiming it back from vehicles, and giving it to people to walk, to meet, to work out, or to just sit.

Data-miner is king. And as the world emerges from its hole post-Covid-19 shutdown, smart data management will be vital to meet the challenges of the “new normal.

The COVID-19 virus pandemic has hit the world at a scale, pace and intensity like few events in living memory. Countries across the world have almost ground to a halt, as governments attempt to fight the outbreak.

Covid-19 has brought the world to a grinding halt, affecting lives and businesses. But this enforced hiatus is also an opportunity to take stock, so we can be better prepared next time.

Shotl and Sensible 4 are adjusting our plans for this spring’s FABULOS autonomous driving pilot — one of the main self-driving events for us this year.

The extraordinary measures set up to handle the coronavirus pandemic provide a view of what could happen with regards to battling the current climate crisis.

As awareness of the climate crisis grows, so does scrutiny of the aviation industry. However, while many look to the skies for solutions, opportunities also exist on the ground to make airports more sustainable.

A number of cities are trialing different incentives to reduce car numbers. However, there is no ‘silver bullet’ and viable alternatives must be in place for initiatives to succeed.

How exactly do our children see future transport? The Shotl founders Osvald and Gerard recently went to a local school to find out how a class of elementary students felt about transport.

This March you can catch us at major events throughout Europe and discover how Shotl is helping cities to revitalize public transit services .

A new breed of transportation has revolutionized urban mobility in the last decade. Based on cutting-edge digital technology and backed by big money, on-demand upstarts have quickly become household names.

In February, Shotl were invited to participate in the 3rd and final phase of the EU research project FABULOS (part of Horizon 2020). We entered this phase of the project alongside Sensible 4.

We are pleased to announce that our most recent deployment rolled out last December 2019. This new route marks the third DRT service now available within our home municipality of Sant Cugat.
