Models for Optimising Dynamic Urban Mobility (MODUM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Transport congestion problems contribute ~70% of pollutants to urban environments. The transport sector by itself consumes up to ~30% of the total energy in the EU. These figures suggest that if Europe is to reduce its CO2 emissions by making an efficient use of energy while improving the quality of life in European cities, novel approaches for the optimal management of urban transport complexity ...

South East European Mobility Management Scheme (SEE MMS)

Start date: Mar 31, 2009, End date: Dec 30, 2011,

In SEE cities economic upturn means an increase in traffic flows, which, by virtue of the pre-existing structures and emergent conditions, quickly meet the limits of their potential for expansion. Alongside transport and freight, tourism is another growing important branch of the SEE economy. The constant increase in traffic flows inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the negative consequ ...
