- Abstract summary: Municipalities are increasingly facing problems of traffic congestion, road safety, energy dependency and air pollution.
We present an end-to-end solution, called Play&Go Corporate, for enabling urban cyclability and its concrete exploitation in the realization of a home-to-work sustainable mobility campaign.

- Abstract: Mobility plays a fundamental role in modern cities. How citizens experience
the urban environment, access city core services, and participate in city life,
strongly depends on its mobility organization and efficiency. The challenges
that municipalities face are very ambitious: on the one hand, administrators
must guarantee their citizens the right to mobility and to easily access local
services; on the other hand, they need to minimize the economic, social, and
environmental costs of the mobility system. Municipalities are increasingly
facing problems of traffic congestion, road safety, energy dependency and air
pollution, and therefore encouraging a shift towards sustainable mobility
habits based on active mobility is of central importance. Active modes, such as
cycling, should be particularly encouraged, especially for local recurrent
journeys (e.g., home--to--school, home--to--work). In this context, addressing
and mitigating commuter-generated traffic requires engaging public and private
stakeholders through innovative and collaborative approaches that focus not
only on supply (e.g., roads and vehicles) but also on transportation demand
management. In this paper, we present an end-to-end solution, called Play&Go
Corporate, for enabling urban cyclability and its concrete exploitation in the
realization of a home-to-work sustainable mobility campaign (i.e., Bike2Work)
targeting employees of public and private companies. To evaluate the
effectiveness of the proposed solution we developed two analyses: the first to
carefully analyze the user experience and any behaviour change related to the
Bike2Work mobility campaign, and the second to demonstrate how exploiting the
collected data we can potentially inform and guide the involved municipality
(i.e., Ferrara, a city in Northern Italy) in improving urban cyclability.

Recent advances in Robotics and Embodied AI make public urban spaces no longer exclusive to humans.
Food delivery bots and electric wheelchairs have started sharing sidewalks with pedestrians, while diverse robot dogs and humanoids have recently emerged in the street.
Ensuring the generalizability and safety of these forthcoming mobile machines is crucial when navigating through the bustling streets in urban spaces.
We present MetaUrban, a compositional simulation platform for Embodied AI research in urban spaces.

Navigating urban environments poses unique challenges for robots, necessitating innovative solutions for locomotion and navigation.
This work introduces a fully integrated system comprising adaptive locomotion control, mobility-aware local navigation planning, and large-scale path planning within the city.
Using model-free reinforcement learning (RL) techniques and privileged learning, we develop a versatile locomotion controller.
Our controllers are integrated into a large-scale urban navigation system and validated by autonomous, kilometer-scale navigation missions conducted in Zurich, Switzerland, and Seville, Spain.

vehicle-specific dynamic access restrictions to city centres [1.289745982465279]
Urban mobility is usually provided through a transport infrastructure that includes all the elements that support mobility.
On many occasions, the capacity of the elements of this infrastructure is lower than the actual demand.
We argue that scarce transport infrastructure elements should be assigned dynamically and in a prioritised manner to transport activities that have a higher utility from the point of view of society.
