Back

CESI budget for the project: €8 million
Total EEC funding: €8 million
Project launch: Winner in 2023 and rollout in 2024
Project duration: 4 years

Winner in January 2023 of the Energy Savings Certificate (CEE) scheme from the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, MobE/Mon trajet Vert is supported by CESI.
My green journey is an ambitious energy-saving initiative dedicated to students’ daily mobility. Its objectives are to understand and optimize students’ daily mobility in order to make it more sustainable and responsible, and to engage French higher education institutions in this process. The components of the program are detailed in the following figure.

Components of the MobE/My Green Journey program. The CESI LINEACT teams are focusing their work on the Structuring component (AI Team) and the Experimentation component (ION Team).

The research activities in the Structuring and Experimentation sections are conducted by CESI LINEACT and focus on:

Analyzing the motivational drivers of student mobility and then imagining the mobility solutions of tomorrow in an innovative and participatory manner;
Organizing local events on the subject of mobility in higher education institutions with actions on the ground;
Supporting higher education institutions in their efforts to optimize student mobility;
Partnering with mobility operators to offer students a reliable mobility service tailored to their needs;
Enhancing existing mobility solutions in close collaboration with the relevant stakeholders;
Maximizing impact by adopting a replicable approach.

The defined thesis topics enable complex situations related to mobility in higher education institutions to be addressed using an approach based on the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on engineering and digital tools.
Topic 1.1: Motivational determinants of student mobility and prospects for future mobility.
Topic 1.2: Impact of the organizational culture of higher education institutions on student mobility.
Topic 2.1: Planning the mobility of higher education students through a dynamic, multimodal system.
Topic 2.2: Predicting student mobility needs within a multimodal system using reinforcement learning.

Achievements as of December 31, 2024:

Understanding of the motivational and situational drivers of mobility choices following large-scale quantitative surveys.
Definition of the digital service’s functionalities and assembly of the basic building blocks developed (Figure XXX).
Launch of six campus mobility plans and 4,500 students made aware through awareness-raising activities
