IMPROVEMENTS TO ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL MODELLING TECHNIQUES FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS IN THE EC

Objective



The twinning project involves a joint effort in: Studying improvements to these techniques to facilitate transferring them to different environments maintaining their effectiveness. It is expected that mathematical techniques would be easier to transfer, because of their scientific support, than rules of thumb. Adapting the techniques for use in different countries by engineers familiar with different languages (English and Greek), and where different engineering conventions and traffic behaviour prevail. Differences between Britain and Greece provide a good example of this. The adaptation of traffic engineering techniques will require a detailed analysis to identify their context specific aspects, in particular those depending on local traffic rule and behaviour, and a study to determine whether the same functional form can be preserved in the adapted technique. If this is so, only a re-calibration of the modesl will be reequired. If new functional form is needed, perhaps because traffic in each country behaves in a different way altogether, then a more comprehensive set of experiments will be required.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
