Within the “targeted” component of France 2030, known as “Financing Strategic Investments,” one initiative is dedicated to funding the most fundamental research (TRL 1 to 4): Priority Research Programs and Equipment (PEPR).
Within this framework, IFP Energies nouvelles and Gustave Eiffel University have been tasked with leading the PEPR “Digitalization and Decarbonization of Mobility.”
Its goal is to mobilize the national research community and stakeholders in the transportation ecosystem to: understand and anticipate the movement of goods and people; help collect, organize, and interpret mobility data; and provide decision-support tools to simulate the impact of public policies in advance or assess the relevance of a new transportation offering.

The International Journal of Urban Sciences (IJUS), published by Taylor & Francis, is a high-quality, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing scientific research and analytical methods in urban, regional, and transport studies. As a Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) journal, IJUS provides a respected international platform for cutting-edge scholarship on cities, regions, transport systems, mobility, and urban challenges. The journal is currently expanding its scope with the launch of a new section, Advanced Methods in Urban Science and Analytics, which will highlight innovative methodological approaches, data-driven research, and emerging analytics shaping the future of urban, regional, and transport sciences.
The RATP Group is the world’s third-largest urban transport operator and number one in automated metro systems worldwide. With 9 modes of transport operated in 16 countries on 5 continents, the RATP group is a major player in urban mobility.
Every day, more than 73,500 employees, a quarter of whom work abroad, are mobilized to develop, operate, maintain and modernize innovative public transport systems and thus meet the mobility needs of populations.
We operate 9 modes of transport on a daily basis: metro, rail, tramway, urban and intercity buses, sightseeing, maritime shuttle, on-demand transport, cable and autonomous vehicles, and are also present in the new mobility chains, in the context of partnerships including: cycling, carpooling, and car sharing. We thus offer safe and connected mobility solutions for a sustainable and smart city.
Springer Nature encourages researchers, academics, practitioners, and innovators from around the world to come together, share their work, exchange ideas, and foster new collaborations across the global transportation research community. Together, we look forward to creating opportunities for meaningful research dialogue, advancing innovative solutions to the evolving challenges of transportation, and disseminating the best research in transportation through Data Science for Transportation.
Elsevier – Global leader in information and analytics. Our 30 plus transportation journals include many of the most highly ranked titles in the field and publish around 5,000 articles a year and supported by an active program of transportation books.
Transcality is an ETH Zurich spin-off digitalising model-based traffic planning. Our platform builds an AI & simulation powered digital twin of the road network, allowing cities and authorities to simulate the effects of roadworks, infrastructure changes and traffic management measures within minutes, entirely online and without local installation. We work with cities and transport authorities across Europe.
