The main project’s objective is to design and apply an energy-efficient, regional intelligent transportation system-ITS that will support the efficient realization of both the tourist promotion of the cross-border area, the student’s daily transport and the facilitation of residents in their daily transport. Specific objectives are:
(a)The added value of the area’s touristic sites through the e-minibuses routes.
(b)The enhancement of the cross-border cultural relations.
(c)An optimal route scheduling in coordination with the design & implementation of PV charging stations for minibuses.
(d)The realization of the ITS that will facilitate both tourists,residents’ (elderly,disabled,distant-residents) and students’ daily transportation. Especially for accessibility of elderly and disabled people, a utility e-vehicle and a relative smart phone application is predicted.
(e)The decarbonisation of transport and the support to the electricity grid.
(f)Cooperation between partners during the optimal route studies, development & operation phases.
(g)Public awareness about the integration of e-vehicles fuelled by the sun in cities, and communication & dissemination of the project results to national,regional & local authorities to promote green transport.
