Towards the development of real time services for an optimized multimodal mobility supported by cooperative networks and open data - Advances in TIMON project

TIMON project (www.timon-project.eu) aims at providing Real-Time (RT) information and services through a cooperative open web-based platform and a mobile application to different transport users – drivers, Vulnerable Road Users (VRU), and businesses.
Problems such as the traffic congestion and accidents cause cities to be the principal source of pollutant emissions. TIMON provides a solution by creating a cooperative ecosystem which connects people, vehicles, infrastructure and business, with the aim of improving safety, sustainability, flexibility and efficiency of the road transport.
The system collects and stores RT data from infrastructure, cars, VRUs and open data; it processes the information using several innovative technologies, such as open data management, hybrid vehicle communications, artificial intelligence and cooperative positioning; and delivers RT services to drivers, VRUs and business particularly information on nearby accidents, traffic jams or air pollution, a multi-modal commuter and dynamic route planner.
