TANGENT improves knowledge and management of mobility flows among a range of transport modes. In addition, it enables the implementation and integration of innovative mobility solutions, services, and business models. The project contributes to more efficient traffic management, facilitating multimodal networks, accelerating the transition towards connected and automated mobility, reducing pollutant emissions and congestion, improving safety and security, and reducing the cost of mobility for all. TANGENT helps the pilot cities achieve a 10% reduction travel time, 8-10% reduction in CO2 emissions, 5% reduction of accidents, 10-15% increase in use of public transport.
Facts:
Case studies:
It has a wide digital infrastructure to provide information on traffic and transport network use. In TANGENT, Rennes aims at gathering and process data from different stakeholders (public and private) and provide various schemes for data-sharing among them based on current standards (e.g., NeTEx, DATEXII) and extensions to guarantee interoperability and improve intermodality.
TANGENT aims to integrate data sources from multiple stakeholders, process them and disseminate current and future status of the network, incidents, speed, route, and park & ride recommendations to users through different channels. It will do so by (i) optimizing interurban flows on highways by speed and route recommendations through C-ITS for connected vehicles, (ii) direct vehicles to unoccupied off-street and on-street parking places, (iii) improve synchronization of urban public transport with incoming inter-urban traffic flows from highways.
TANGENT contributes to optimising transport both in urban areas and rural/semi-rural regions from Greater Manchester by balance demand and supply across different modes by suggesting different strategies and measures to transport authorities and transport operators (e.g., alternative traffic signal timings, variable speed limits, re-routing, pricing, incentives, etc.) with a particular interest on promoting sustainable modes.
Athens faces severe congestion problems due to the rising demand for car trips. TANGENT aims to provide strategies to improve network connectivity and operation through a better information system that connects all modes. It aims also to significantly reduce congestion levels through the balance of the demand and supply in real-time scenarios. The effectiveness of TANGENT strategies is tested for various future mobility scenarios including CAVs and ride sharing services.
