Cluster Manager Societal Impact for Accessibility and Liveability
TNO Research, Netherlands
Jeroen Borst M.Sc. is Cluster manager “Societal Impact for Accessibility and Liveability” in the unit Traffic and Transport of TNO: Netherlands Organization for Applied Research.
His mission is to support public and private sector to manage the transitions in mobility Digitalization, Automation and Electrification to meet societal goals: Accessibility, Liveability, Sustainability and Inclusiveness.
With his background in Environmental Physics, he supervised the developed Urban Strategy, a platform to build Digital City Twins to manage urban planning, mobility planning, energy and environmental impact. With the ambition to make the complexity of urban planning manageable for all stakeholders, the Urban Strategy team combined domain knowledge of the different fields, with state-of-the-art enabling technologies such as HPC and distributed data storage.
With Urban Strategy, TNO and partners help cities to get real time insight in the effects of urban developments, such as new urban developments, adjustments in the road infrastructure and public transport on accessibility, environment and liveability. Moreover, the impact of new mobility concepts such as Mobility-as-a-Service and the impact of large scale electrification can be assessed with the same instrumentation.
Jeroen and his team applied Digital City Twins in many different cities in the Netherlands, e.g. Amsterdam, Rotterdam in Europe e.g. Belgium, Sweden and Germany and outside of Europe: New Delhi, Singapore and Portland. With the Digital Twin, TNO supports the island of Curacao in the transition of Mobility as well as Energy toward a sustainable and equitable economy.
