The VROOM project deals with the management of flows of users in public places, and more specifically passenger traffic in railway stations. The general aim of the project is to objectify flow management measures, i.e. to be able to predict the effects of a management action on the conditions of

The energy renovation of buildings is a crucial issue for the construction industry and its impact on the environment, and the development of high-performance, low-impact insulation materials is a necessity. In recent years, research worldwide has focused on the development of new mycomaterials prod

In urban areas, cycling is an efficient way for citizens to access most of the services they need. It is a robust transportation system against energy crisis due to its low energy dependence. However, climate change might be a limit to its use because of the health risks related to making an effort

Roads are structures known as “multi-layered,” meaning that they are composed of different layers, each with specific properties and functions. The upper layers are mainly composed of asphalt concrete (AC), a mixture of bitumen and aggregates whose behavior is highly dependent on the outside tempera

The project is set within the broader European context, with increasing regulatory and environmental pressure to improve battery management, particularly in the electric vehicle industry. Introducing a "battery passport" aligns with European Union initiatives to promote sustainability, transparency,

The densification of urban centres and the development of highly energy-efficiency buildings are leading to the emergence of new construction systems of high-rise residential or commercial buildings, which often include external thermal insulation. However, the use of such facade raises questions ab

Natural disasters, technological failures, and human-caused accidents frequently disrupt public transport lines and infrastructure. This may result in shutdowns of public transport services and shift of travel demand to road networks. Without effective emergency response strategies, urban traffic sy

Due to its health, energy and economic consequences, the degradation of the quality of urban environments (thermal conditions, air quality, etc.) has become one of the major issues of urban development. To bring some solutions to this problem, physical modelling of the environment shows a great pote

In a world increasingly aware of environmental issues, the construction industry faces a crucial challenge: to obtain sustainable building materials to reduce energy consumption, minimize carbon emissions, and improve hygrothermal comfort. The concept of 'hygrothermal comfort' comes into play in thi

Critical infrastructures underpin the functioning of every society. Their interdependence amplifies and complexifies the repercussions of the interruption or disruption of their essential services. The METRI-KIT project aims to assess the resilience and robustness of a territory by analyzing its cri

Biobased building materials are a promising way of valorizing agricultural by-products, with many environmental benefits (local availability, renewability and biogenic carbon storage potential). The use of these materials, encouraged by public policies, represents a lever for reducing the major envi

The adaptation of the road network to encourage safe cycling practices is a significant challenge, driven by concerns related to climate change, air quality, and public health. In this project, we aim to develop methods to propose, for example, to municipalities looking to expand their cycling netwo

The BIOTRANSCEM project aims to deepen the understanding of interactions between cementitious materials and the marine environment, with a focus on the role of biocolonization. Spanning 42 months, this multidisciplinary project seeks to improve the durability of reinforced concrete marine structures

The CITY-STEP project investigates how urban morphology and environmental factors influence walking behavior, with a focus on gait and walking dynamics. While previous research has assessed walkability primarily through macro-scale characteristics such as street density and accessibility, CITY-STEP

The building sector is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in Europe. In order to reduce its energy consumption, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the building envelope in a framework of renovation of old buildings and construction of zero emission ones. In this context, it is necess

One of the today's main challenges of concrete construction is to limit its environmental impact. One solution is to reduce the carbon footprint of cement manufacturing. Solutions already exist, with the availability on the market of standardized cements whose clinker content is much lower than th

The shift towards sustainable energy is reshaping urban mobility. The shift towards sustainable energy is reshaping urban mobility. The REACTIVE project focuses on Human Hybrid Lightweight Vehicles (HHLV) with hybrid human-electric propulsion. These vehicles, some of which can reach top speeds of 80

The SACRUS project proposes the deployment of large-scale instrumentation of religious heritage in urban and rural areas in response to the societal challenge of preserving local heritage. The project is divided into two phases. The first involves assembling a network of low-cost velocimetric sensor

C-SINBADS explores the development of C-ITS services that are automatically generated and sustained by the data produced through their use, particularly from the telecommunications networks that support these services. This new generation of C-ITS services will offer several key advantages: they wil

The Mobility Assistance for Visually Impaired People through Collaborative Acoustic Positioning (MAPV) project aims to improve the mobility and independence of visually impaired people (VIP) by providing an accurate, infrastructure-free, and privacy-focused positioning framework. Over 2.2 billion pe

The building sector is showing increasing interest in the use of bio-based materials. These materials derived from renewable natural resources have a low carbon footprint and help to limit the environmental impact of construction. In addition, most of these materials have excellent insulation proper

Thermal comfort is one of the key determinants of Indoor Environmental Quality and a major contributor to building energy consumption and carbon emissions globally. As such, research on thermal comfort can significantly impact the sustainability of our built environment and the health and well-being

Increasing urbanisation has led to extensive soil sealing, reducing infiltration and evapotranspiration while increasing stormwater runoff, which leads to more intense high flows in peri-urban streams. However, the impact of urbanisation on baseflow – the portion of streamflow coming from delayed so

Formal methods are mathematical techniques that allow for describing and verifying properties in hardware and software systems [1]. They provide a rigorous framework for specifying, developing, and ensuring the quality and safety of critical systems. Formal methods are used in several domains. In th
