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
