Project Summary / Description:

MUV offers a digital service to improve urban mobility through a game that encourages a change of habits towards more sustainable choices and, at the same time, collects valuable data for the mobility plans of schools, companies and cities. It consists of a smartphone app and a mobility data analysis and reporting service, with a specific section dedicated to the impact of CO2 emissions reduction calculated through a certified algorithm.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:
MUV aims to reduce traffic and pollution by acting on the individual behaviour of citizens and using the game as a lever to encourage more conscious and sustainable mobility choices and stimulate a change in daily habits. Through the mobile app, the interface through which users play, it is possible to track one's sustainable trips and calculate one's impacts. One of the objectives of MUV is to produce a concrete and measurable impact in terms of CO2 savings. In particular, we designed and tested a methodology to estimate the CO2 savings generated by users moving sustainably and tracking their trips through MUV. This calculation algorithm has been validated and certified by RINA.
