Intermodal services
Workpackage 1
Single source data & distributing information to services
Increase use of:

- Public transport and shift to green commuting modes
- Digital solutions for international green travel
Projects
Royal Schiphol Group in Amsterdam and its fellow airport partners Avinor in Oslo, Hermes at Cyprus and SAGAT in Torino focus on seven topics or challenges. Together these challenges result in 17 demonstrator projects to accelerate sustainability at or around the airport.
Several demonstrations focus on reducing or eliminating vehicle emissions. In addition, we will test facilities for recharging aircraft with electricity and hydrogen, introduce and optimise large-scale supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and improve circular use of materials. Additionally we will organise demonstrations on airside to capture ultra-fine particles from departing and landing flights. We also intend to examine the entire journey of passengers and cargo and propose solutions for an optimal mix of multi-modal solutions.
Overview of TULIPS projects and demonstrations
These are the seven main challenges TULIPS focusses on. Each challenge features one or more demonstrator projects, resulting in 17 demo’s in all. Behind the scenes we have organised our activities in 12 workpackages.
