PORT-Cities: Integrating Sustainability (PORTIS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Port Cities can be seen as multidimensional laboratories where challenges connected with urban mobility are more complex due to the dual system of gravity centre: the city, the port, not to mention their shared hinterland.These peculiarities are at once a challenge and an opportunity, as they provide scope for planning, researching and implementing integrated mobility solutions in distinctively co ...

Background Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are currently the main air pollutants in European cities. Many cities in the EU, including in Austria, are currently unable to meet the Union's limits for PM10 (40 μg/m³ annual mean value) and NO2 (40 μg/m3 as a mean annual value). In Austr ...

Nowadays, mobile Internet is available almost everywhere. Nevertheless, the impact of this "ubiquitous Web access" has not arrived at road user information systems with a few exceptions for navigation systems or traffic monitoring. Making full use of the Internet availability can enable a whole range of new services and apps for road users, helping them to make their journey safer, more comfortabl ...

Models for Optimising Dynamic Urban Mobility (MODUM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Transport congestion problems contribute ~70% of pollutants to urban environments. The transport sector by itself consumes up to ~30% of the total energy in the EU. These figures suggest that if Europe is to reduce its CO2 emissions by making an efficient use of energy while improving the quality of life in European cities, novel approaches for the optimal management of urban transport complexity ...

The Northern Adriatic region, going clockwise from Rijeka/Koper to the Emilia Romagna region coast represents the Southern terminal of the Adriatic Baltic transport corridor. The relevance of this corridor increased in the last years because of the economic growth of the Central European regions and with this connected continuous increase in transport demand. However the transport supply has been ...

Renewable Energies for Zero Emission Transport In Europe (REZIPE)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2013,

The project REZIPE calls on public administration to support the transition to cleaner and more efficient transport means as good as possible. The widespread use of the conventional used of internal combustion engines (ICE) is creating adverse effects near roads and especially in cities having high traffic densities. Emission of toxins and noise molestations are negative impacts resulting from the ...

South East European Mobility Management Scheme (SEE MMS)

Start date: Mar 31, 2009, End date: Dec 30, 2011,

In SEE cities economic upturn means an increase in traffic flows, which, by virtue of the pre-existing structures and emergent conditions, quickly meet the limits of their potential for expansion. Alongside transport and freight, tourism is another growing important branch of the SEE economy. The constant increase in traffic flows inevitably leads to a simultaneous increase in the negative consequ ...

The programme area is crossed by relevant freight traffic flows, originated and directed in- and outside it. This traffic is mainly supported by road infrastructures, that were not planned for these flows. This involves a negative impact on the territorial competitiveness and environment, due to air pollution, noise and reduced mobility. The project objective is to promote the coordination between ...

Urban-rural relations in Europe (Urban-rural)

Start date: Sep 5, 2002, End date: Apr 20, 2005,

The future of numerous rural areas is functionally increasingly interlinked with urban development in terms of flows, exchange processes, institutional links and interdependencies. This is obvious in densely populated areas (such as peri-urban zones) undergoing considerable processes of urbanisation. It is also relevant for more sparsely populated rural areas that are under less visible urban infl ...
