Project: Awaken Sleeping Assets Project

Acronym ASAP (Reference Number: 99950000)
Duration 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2024
Project Topic The Awaken Sleeping Assets Project (ASAP) has three overall goals: (1) to activate underused or inactive infrastructure or resources for sustainable urban logistics, (2) to provide testing structures (testbeds) for innovative urban logistics systems and (3) to combine these activities in order to build a new Sustainable Urban Logistics Planning Platform (SULP-Platform) A unique collaboration of cities, industries and research partners, representing four different European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Sweden) aims at gathering and processing relevant information at the local level on obstacles, success factors, logistics parameters, framework conditions and impacts of sustainable urban logistics solutions. The result will be the SULP-Platform, a new open-access knowledge base with interactive elements, embedded in a network of European cities and regions. Based on an in-depth evaluation of 14 existing testbeds in Paris, Stockholm, Vienna, Hamburg and Düsseldorf and a strong involvement of local logistics players we aim at bringing sleeping-assets-potentials into life. ASAP will create 11 further testbeds that activate underused, “sleeping” assets within the participating “lighthouse cities”. This will be the basis for building-up a network of “follower” cities by way of implementing an upscaling and dissemination strategy.
