GOLIA is a Horizon Europe project whose mission is to create an inclusive, adaptive, and socially optimised urban mobility system through a new governance model integrating technological, social and legal innovations.
The project aims to shift the focus of mobility planning from purely economic considerations to a more holistic approach that incorporates social well-being, accessibility and sustainability. A key part of this approach is developing the Social Optimum Mobility Index (SOMI), which will support dynamic, data-driven decision-making across urban transport systems.
GOLIA will pilot its innovative framework in three Partner Cities:
These Living Labs will serve as testbeds for the SOMI model and the GO-X digital modules, demonstrating how cities can integrate social and digital dimensions into sustainable mobility planning.
Additionally, three Follower Cities: Marseille-Provence (France), Glasgow (UK), and Riga (Latvia) will engage in peer learning activities to replicate successful strategies. This will be supported by study visits, stakeholder mapping, and tailored replication roadmaps.
ALICE contributes its expertise in logistics innovation across several strategic areas of the project:
