Green platforms and “green technologies” systems at public transport stops

To carry out a deep technical feasibility analysis and a sociological study on the perception of this measure on the users. Costs/benefits analysis compared to conventional solutions.

To test result on pilot implementation before scaling up

Systems at Public Transport stops, providing comfort and pleasure to the passengers. The idea is to create green spaces on the platform and to install green technologies systems (such as solar or photovoltaic panels) on the stops for electricity production.

MRDH (Metropolitan Region of Rotterdam-Den Haag) and PZH (Province of Zuid Hollande) organised a crowdsourcing action for innovative solutions in Public Transport. The winner of the 2017 edition is ‘Abri 2020’, what means ‘Shelter in 2020’. The solution is to provide a zero emission bus stop: local energy production with solar panels on top of the shelter; less energy consumption by reducing or switching off the electric devices on the stop (lights and information displays). Also providing charging devices for smart phones and tables (USB ports).
