The CARMA project envisions the development of an innovative and comprehensive ICT system targeted for supporting and promoting Green daily commuting habits, with a particular focus on helping the user save on fuel expenses, time, and greenhouse gas emissions, on a regular and daily basis.

The CARMA concept focuses on creating an innovative application, which accurately calculates more efficient routes, in terms of cost, fuel, emissions and time, thus promoting an eco-friendlier driving mode. CARMA’s ambition is to provide reliable feedback to the users on how much fuel, money, time, and CO2 they spend when driving their way to their destinations.

The specific scientific and technological objectives implemented during the course of the project are:

• Holistic approach for traffic data acquisition
• Intelligent and advanced traffic data fusion
• Provision of reliable feedback information
• Advanced green routing decision support system
• Smart and efficient computation of usage patterns
• User privacy assurance
• Engineering of a comprehensive ICT system implementing the proposed functionalities
• Validation of the engineered system in laboratory and field trials
