Toyota Mobility Foundation announces results of the ”City Architecture for Tomorrow Challenge” (CATCH)
The Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), a non-profit organization, announced the results of CATCH – The City Architecture for Tomorrow Challenge – a 3-year data-driven innovation challenge launched in February 2020, co-organized by Deloitte Future of Mobility Solution Centre (Deloitte), and delivered in partnership with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).
Following an initial roadshow and call for applications, the CATCH organizing committee received over 97 applications from 20 countries globally. These applications underwent a rigorous selection process including Proof of Concept (POC) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development, which took into account criteria such as creativity, feasibility, and sustainability. Considering these, along with the overall objective of enhancing the lives of Kuala Lumpur residents and forwarding TMF’s vision of providing Freedom of Mobility for All, two winners were selected – Numina from the United States and Kerb from Australia.
Numina offers privacy-first sensor technology to analyze the movement of people and goods, utilizing these insights to generate recommendations to improve city design and transportation infrastructure.
Kerb brings a solution that increases efficiency of mobility by allowing users view and book available public and private parking spaces from its mobile application.
Through collaboration with traffic and data experts from the DBKL, both winners successfully conducted a proof-of-concept trial in Kuala Lumpur.
