Objective
The overall aim of ICARO is to investigate the measures and instruments that can increase car occupancy.
ICARO will focus on transport policy research and will deliver valuable and accessible recommendations and guidelines on how to increase car occupancy at both local and national levels.
ICARO will carry out a combination of both research and demonstrations, concentrating on the latter.
The objectives of ICARO are:
(1) to identify best practices concerning technical instruments and organisational measures to increase private car occupancy;
(2) to identify and understand the institutional, legal and cultural framework necessary for increasing car occupancy. There may be considerable differences between countries with respect to the acceptance of measures and instruments;
(3) to carry out a number of real life demonstrations on techniques and measures that can increase private car occupancy. These demonstrations will involve a mix of innovative and technical measures. The demonstrations will be carried out in 4 European countries. The demonstrations will concentrate on simple and easy to implement schemes on the one hand and on HOV-lanes as a technical measure on the other hand. In addition there will be studies that will analyse through modelling (changes in) the use of HOV-lanes (Saloniki, Salzburg, Leeds, Madrid);
(4) to investigate substitute behaviour that might occur as an undesired effect of schemes for increasing the car occupancy;
(5) to set up a methodology for selecting the right measures and instruments;
(6) to disseminate the results to all interested parties.
