In particular, three topics are being addressed: challenges from the key socio-economic trends, challenges from environmental concerns, and challenges from technological changes.
The general objectives of Compass are: to provide an overall picture of the future travellers needs in the light of the key socio-economic trends; to analyse how ICT and ITS applications can meet the new demand, favouring the integration of multi-modal transport solutions; to assess how these solutions can contribute to the de-carbonisation of transport activities. In such a framework, the following collateral and important objectives will also be addressed: the potential of the ICT and ITS applications to provide behavioural data and information to improve travel surveys and to foster harmonisation; the validation of the ICT solutions with stakeholders rooted in the national contexts.
The project involves nine partners: Transport Research Institute (TRI), Edinburgh Napier University, Project Coordinator, Istituto di Studi per l'Integrazione dei Sistemi (ISIS), Institute for Transport Studies,
