TANGENT

​Transport is at a crossroad. The sector is paved with disruptive technologies and mobility solutions designed to revolutionise transport networks and traffic management. The EU-funded TANGENT project will develop new tools to improve traffic operations in a coordinated way, considering automated and non-automated vehicles, passengers, and freight transport. TANGENT will research advanced techniques on modelling and simulation, such as simulation models for future demand and supply of transport; optimisation techniques for balancing demand flows; and modelling users' travel behaviour. A set of applications for decision-making support will be delivered to provide traffic management recommendations and to support transport authorities in their design of network-wide optimal strategies. Case studies will be conducted in France, Portugal, the UK and Greece.
