About TANGENT:

TANGENT stands for Enhanced Data Processing Techniques for Dynamic Management of Multimodal Traffic Flows. The project is funded by the European Commission DG MOVE, under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, and started in September 2021.

European cities face significant transport challenges, including safety, greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, and the emergence of disruptive technologies and new mobility modes. Despite the high availability of data, the information exchange, cooperation, and synchronization between different transport modes is still low. As a result, there is a lack of coordination between supply & demand from a multimodal perspective and generally a low efficiency in urban transport systems. The response to disruptive events needs to be improved to enhance the resilience of the overall transport network.

TANGENT develops new tools to optimize traffic operations in a coordinated and dynamic way from a multimodal perspective, including automated/non-automated vehicles, passengers, and freight transport. The project is expected to enhance multimodal networks for passengers and freight, reduce congestion, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, improve safety and security, and decrease the cost of mobility for all, amongst others.
