Our first use case focused on the digital tools developed in the frame of the project and dedicated to cycle logistics operations. The Triporteurs cargo-bikes will be equipped with some sensors that will collect data on the tours, battery status, speed, etc. The data collected will serve as input for tour optimisation, helping the operator to design more efficient delivery rounds. The trackers will also be tested by another cycle-logistic company called Tout en Vélo.

The second use case is not kinked to the Triporteurs but involves cycle-logistics once again. The municipality have the ambition to test a new type of mobility service: a “mobility station”. This space, on public ground, would gather different type of services, for different types of users. For logistic operators, this space would be used as a load breaking point, allowing them to unload and store pallets or parcels in dedicated lockers, for it to be then delivered by cargo-bikes. Dedicated parking slots will be reserved for the trucks and cargo-bikes could be parked in the bike parking, as well part of the mobility station. For craftsmen, other types of lockers will be reserved for them to store construction materials and tools. Having this station in the city centre can really ease their operations, having nearby access to what they need. Additionally, some open access cargo-bikes will be available for them to test this modal option. Finally, citizens will be able to access the station as well, to park their bike or repair it at the repair area.

Finally, the last use case concerns again the Triporteurs helping them develop their business in the city and implementing a new hub. Placed on public space the Triporteurs will install a new cycle-logistics hub using old maritime containers rehabilitated for logistic operations. The hub will be powered by solar energy and is easily removable (no need of construction work to install it).
