Eco2Concert – Sustainable mobility and logistics concepts for festivals

Project

© Ferropolis Stiftung Industriekultur gGmbH

Background

Mobility and logistics processes are the main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at festivals. Nevertheless, neither mobility behavior nor supply and disposal processes are currently analyzed in a systematic and integrated manner. In order to minimize the environmental impact of festivals through holistic transport and sustainability concepts, technological solutions for data collection and analysis as well as intelligent control concepts must be developed.

Project description

Concepts for sustainable festivals are to be developed and evaluated by exploiting synergy potentials by coupling the transport and energy sectors. For this purpose, a planning and monitoring platform with the necessary data basis will be developed that enables festival organizers to plan and evaluate the various event processes in an integrated manner in order to monitor the sustainability of a festival and evaluate measures.

Services

The platform is based on the modeling of mobility and logistics processes as well as energy generation and consumption. Data from festival operators is consolidated and evaluated to parameterize the models. Data is collected from visitors to describe mobility behavior. The platform is used to develop mobility and logistics concepts as well as guidelines for action. GHG reduction measures are tested and validated in field trials.

  • Modeling of energy generation and consumption at festivals
  • Configuration of optimized energy supply systems
  • Utilization of synergy potentials by coupling the energy and transport sectors
  • Collection of logistics data and creation of process models
  • Development of a planning and monitoring platform for sustainable festival mobility and logistics
