Calming mobility around major urban construction sites
The acceptability of construction sites is an everyday issue for local residents and local authorities alike. When poorly planned and managed, logistics flows related to construction sites are a source of disturbance and often interfere with urban traffic. Mobility by Colas has developed QIEVO, a digital service that optimises mobility and urban logistics around major construction sites.

QIEVO objectives:
- Promote mobility and improve management of urban logistics around a construction site area by controlling the logistics flows related to the operations;
- Mitigate the disturbances caused to users by directing construction site lorries to dedicated routes and by reducing bottlenecks;
- Provide an efficient and reliable site operations planning system to manage site deliveries and on-site lifting equipment;
- Set up an effective monitoring tool for the organising authority and provide additional information to the local traffic control centre.
Essential features
To optimise traffic flows in and around construction sites, Mobility by Colas uses territorial engineering analysis to develop digital and technical solutions (alternative mobility systems, management of construction site lorry traffic flows, route suggestions, etc.). This is a centralised system to manage logistics and accurately monitor indicators to develop a specific solution for each construction site as time progresses.
Central regulation point based on a digital platform and managed by traffic specialists
Coordination and reporting targeting developers to help them monitor logistics and environmental performance indicators
Mobile guide application to monitor and communicate with delivery personnel in real time
Dynamic, appropriate infrastructure combining dedicated roots and regulated areas
