On Thursday, July 3, 2025, the public territorial establishment Paris Est Marne & Bois hosted the official launch of AMELIA — Cartography of Mobility and the Environment for Territorial Planning. This ambitious project marks a major advancement in monitoring air and noise pollution through dynamic, precise, and real-time updated maps.
A frugal AI to transform local public policies
Designed to address the growing challenges of urban quality of life and ecological transition, AMELIA relies on a frugal artificial intelligence: efficient, resource-saving, and centered on territorial utility.
This innovative technology is based on:
- Environmental data collection via IoT sensors and satellite imagery,
- Processing by artificial intelligence and modeling of mobility flows,
- Production of high-resolution maps in real time,
- A decision support interface to guide local public policies.
Meaningful data for informed decisions
Some key figures illustrate the scope of the issue:
- 13 local authorities involved in the deployment of AMELIA,
- 85% of residents in Île-de-France exposed to poor air quality,
- 48% of noise disturbances linked to urban mobility.
AMELIA allows for the visualization of these issues in a concrete way, with several use cases:
- Decision support for managing traffic and urban planning policies,
- Automatic detection of areas exceeding regulatory thresholds,
- Impact monitoring of implemented actions,
- Early alerts to anticipate pollution or disturbance peaks.
A project supported by the State and rooted locally
Winner of the France 2030 – DIAT call for projects, AMELIA is the result of a committed consortium in ecological transition, composed of:
- Paris Est Marne & Bois (pilot community),
- WaltR (technology company),
- IFPEN, Bruitparif and Gustave Eiffel University (scientific and technical experts).
The Living-Lab Greentech of Paris Est Marne & Bois, which hosts WaltR, has been a true catalyst for the creation of the consortium. By bringing together public actors, researchers, and innovators, this place facilitates the emergence of concrete solutions and their anchoring in the territories.
A concrete response to the challenges of tomorrow
By combining technological innovation, a frugal approach, and shared governance, AMELIA is fully committed to building more sustainable, intelligent, and resilient communities.
