Yves Ackermann is the president of the mixed union of the Belfort-Montbéliard Héricourt-Delle (SMAU) urban area. This structure is the basin of life of more than 300 000 inhabitants in the junction of three departments. The whole department of the Belfort Territory and Montbéliard urban area and the towns consortiums of the Vallée du Rupt, the Trois Cantons and of the Balcons du Lomont as well as some remote villages around Pont-de-Roide compose the Doubs part and the Pays d’Héricourt its haut-saônoise part.

This structure is a place for political convergence and exchanges on the urban area’s major stakes but also a scene for monitoring formative projects. According to its development charter which identifies mobility as a transversal issue, the urban area mixed union developed ambitious tools for a better understanding of transportation reality and to establish the relevant answer to be provided by public action. A large scale study on household and transportations was carried out in 2005 and the use of the data is periodically presented in “Les Cahiers de la Mobilité” published by the SMAU.
Before starting further thoughts on the means to coordinate and harmonize transportations in the urban area, an audit carried out as a ‘porter à connaissance’, this issue was produced in 2008 by the “Cabinet CITEC”. The second part of this study and a specific mission on freight issue will be conducted in the weeks to come.

Yves Ackermann is also President of 'the Territoire de Belfort area local council'.

I am currently a teacher-researcher at the SeT (ERCOS team) of UTBM.  
I finished my post-doc. with the LAMIH of the UVHC and my thesis with the INRIA and the LIMSI-CNRS. My research is based on nearly 10 years’ work in these laboratories in institutional projects and study contracts with companies.  It has three main goals:

• To apprehend the perceptivo-cognitive activities of drivers in certain situations of control. These are special situations related to the environment (various crossroads…) or related to the use of “embarked” assistance systems (various interfaces) are tested mainly on the simulator of control and with a system of “eye-tracking”.
  
• To release these situations to risk, and to analyze their causes and effects.
  
• To develop ergonomic specifications and improve the system tested with the conceptual designers.

Maître de Conférences  - FEMTO-ST / Département de Mécanique Appliquée
Cécile Berriet est maître de conférences en mécanique et génie mécanique à l’Université de Franche-Comté. Après une thèse au Laboratoire de Mécanique Appliquée de Besançon sous la direction du Professeur C. Lexcellent concernant le comportement thermomécanique des alliages à mémoire de forme (AMF), elle obtient une bourse européenne afin d’effectuer un stage post-doctoral d’un an à Barcelone au Laboratoire de Physique Appliquée de l’Université Polytechnique de Catalogne.
Elle mène désormais ses activités de recherche au sein de l’Institut FEMTO-ST, dans la partie expérimentale (traction, flexion, fluage, DMA, thermographie) de la thématique « tenue des matériaux composites ». Elle étudie l’influence du recyclage sur le comportement mécanique des polypropylènes-chocs utilisés dans le domaine de l’automobile (en partenariat avec un groupe de chimistes, physiciens, mécaniciens et industriels français) et, depuis peu, le comportement mécanique de composites à fibres naturelles.
Modules de développement durable (deuxième année de licence) et de matériaux pour l’éco-conception (Master Eco-conception) font partie de l’enseignement qu’elle dispense à l’UFR Sciences et Techniques de Besançon.

En 1989 : Maîtrise à la Faculté d’Architecture de Florence.
A partir de 1998 : divers actions en matière de mobilité.
Depuis 2000 elle dirige le « Servizio Progetti Mobilità » à la Mairie de Florence, où elle s’occupe des oeuvres publiques, mobilité alternative, services innovations et systèmes de trafic. Elle a créé des systèmes expérimentaux de transport public, pour exemple le Taxi Collectif (le premier en Italie) et le Car Sharing.

A partir de 2001, elle a développé le système d’incitation public aux voitures électriques, en doublant pour trois années consécutives le nombre des contributions affectées.

En 2001, elle gère la mobilité de la ville à l’occasion des «grands chantiers». A cette époque elle commence la réalisation de ronds-points et des systèmes de sécurité routiers, qui ont eu comme conséquence une grande diminution des collisions dans ces lieux-là.

Entre 2000 et 2008, elle réalise beaucoup de ronds-points, pistes cyclables, sites propres, reclassements de routes et places grâce à la réorganisation de la mobilité.

En 2003, elle est chargée de la coordination de tous les travaux et manifestations sur sol public.

Jusqu’en 2006 elle coordonne 4500 interventions environ sur la route et a commencé à développer l’organisation de systèmes complexes de mobilité et de services d’information aux usagers à l’occasion de grandes manifestations internationales près la Fortezza da Basso. A cette époque elle donne naissance à un système de communication en temps réel sur le trafic et sur les chantiers, destiné aux citoyens à travers les SMS, et donne naissance à des « tables » pour concertation des personnes qui opèrent dans les services de mobilité et des organisateurs de grands événements.

Entre 2005 et 2006 elle coordonne les travaux pour la réalisation de la première ligne de tramway de surface, à cette époque, elle participe au projet des services intégrés fer-pneu et à celui d’oeuvres destinées à la simplification des systèmes de trafic.

Elle a aussi travaillé à beaucoup d’actes de planification, soit de l’arrêt soit de la mobilité alternative ; elle est actrice des projets du Plan général du trafic urbain  de Florence en 2002 et en 2006.

Elle s’est occupée du système de viabilité près de la première ligne de tramway de surface et du système ferroviaire pour la réorganisation du transport public à Florence.

Depuis 2006, elle s’occupe principalement de la mobilité cycliste et soutenable : pendant trois années, elle a doublé l’étendue du réseau cyclable de Florence, elle a réalisé des infrastructures pour les cyclistes et des initiatives pour la sensibilisation et la communication, conséquence : une augmentation de la mobilité en vélo du 50%.

Actuellement elle travaille à l’installation sur place de systèmes automatiques de relèvement des passages sur piste cyclable, à la réalisation du Bike Sharing et au projet de lieux de change entre le vélo et les autres moyens de transport.
Elle a donné des cours sur le rapport entre urbanisme, reclassement urbain et mobilité dans la faculté d’Architecture de Florence.
