Overview

Background & policy context:

The project MOBITRAFF developed innovative services in the fields of urban mobility and traffic management using an emerging wireless technology called “vehicular ad hoc networks” (VANETs). The project innovation consisted in the use of VANETs to correlate services from both fields (mobility management and traffic management) in a comprehensive, secure, decentralised, and self-organised way.

Objectives:

The main aim of the project in terms of mobility management was to improve the quality of public transport services by minimising traveling time, harmonising headways and providing passengers with dynamic public transport guidance. The objectives in terms of traffic management were to improve road efficiency by mitigating flash crowd effects (FCE) and minimising stop-and-go driving conditions.
