IP_SUNTAN - Innovative policies for sustainable urban transportation
Overview
Background & policy context:
This project develops and investigates smart solutions for urban transport problems.
Smart means that innovative technologies will be used (for example ICT and GPS based), and that smart ways to stimulate people to change behaviour or adopt technologies will be developed and evaluated. The project considers road transport, cycling and walking, and public transport. It looks at a broad range of tools, including electronic fare cards, real-time public transport information, automated tracking of vehicles, and data from innovative pricing and rewarding experiments. The project brings together research groups, local authorities and case studies from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Vienna.
Objectives:
The overall objective of this project is the development, implementation and evaluation of innovative tools, policy measures and strategies for achieving a sustainable, efficient urban transport system, focusing on both “technology” and “behaviour”.
Methodology:
The project will design and implement innovative measures for sustainable urban transport, draw from existing initiatives with the same objective, and will develop and estimate innovative behavioural models to estimate the impacts and potential.
The project will develop innovative measures, will implement these, and will develop innovative models of transport behaviour and estimate these using the date acquired, and will draw generalizable policy lessons.
