Purpose and goal
The project aims to contribute to a reliable and attractive bus service through a connected transport system thanks to the availability of reliable and accessible road infrastructure. The overall aim is to achieve a transport-efficient and sustainable society. The goal is to create a knowledge base to achieve a sustainable and attractive bus service through a connected transport system with the help of society´s rapid digitization transformation.
Expected effects and result
Through demonstration and evaluation of the opportunities that society´s digitalisation creates, the project will provide the knowledge needed to create the conditions for a faster transition towards sustainable public transport through a road transport system that is resource-efficient, robust, accessible, reliable and equal.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is conducted in three work packages (AP). AP1 will include activities linked to planning, and coordination as well as follow-up of the project. AP2 will include establishment, follow-up and evaluation of the components of the connected road transport system to be demonstrated. AP3 includes the analyzes required to identify the conditions that required for the implementation of the project results with the various need owners and actors covered by the value chain to connect road transport systems for sustainable public transport.
