Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is the difference between Rede Mob and Mob 4.0?
Rede Mob emerges in the context of the 1st Mob.Inc Journey, a webinar that took place in July 2020 aimed at dealing with topics related to "Mobilities and paths to social inclusion". In order to keep the discussions and contacts formed in this event active, the proposal arises to keep a group of enthusiasts and researchers in the area active. With that in mind and seeking to raise even more innovative and significant flights for cities and their inhabitants, Rede Mob submitted a project for the public notice of FAPERJ - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Thus, Mob 4.0 is born, a collaborative space for the creation of a data platform for the intelligent planning of urban mobility in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
