Summary
Project acronym: OPTI-UP
Project ID: CE0200713
Project start date: 2024-05-01
Project end date: 2026-10-31
Project status:
ongoingRelevant linked projects:
- UPPER – Unleashing the Potential of Public Transport in Europe – Horizon Europe (EN) | *For each foreseen project, the synergy between projects and the prevention of overlapping and duplication of activities will be ensured through the implementation of joint coordination activities, which are:
- 1. Regular communication between the project teams
- 2. Exchange of information and best practices
- 3. Cross-participation in workshops and events
- 4. Alignment of methodologies to avoid duplication
- OPTI-UP can provide detailed data from modeling and integration between urban and public transport planning, which can inform the measures implemented by UPPER. The insights from OPTI-UP can help UPPER optimize the public transport offer, in line with user needs and patterns, and encourage behavioural change in favour of public transport uptake.
- (EN), SPINE
- Smart Public transport Initiatives for Climate-Neutral cities in Europe – Horizon Europe (EN) | Specifically, the OPTI-UP project could leverage the innovative simulation and Digital Twining (DT) tools, open data, and behavioral models developed by SPINE to obtain detailed data for modeling and integration between urban and public transport planning. Meanwhile, the SPINE project could benefit from the experience of OPTI-UP in optimizing public transport offerings in line with user needs and patterns, seeking users' involvement in the overall mobility decision chain, and encouraging behavioral change in favor of public transport uptake. (EN), DREAM_PACE – Interreg Central Europe (EN) | The OPTI-UP project and the DREAM_PACE project share a common goal of improving mobility and accessibility for citizens through PT. While the DREAM_PACE project focuses on developing innovative demand-responsive transport (DRT) concepts, the OPTI-UP project focuses on optimizing public transport networks to make the service more sustainable and efficient.
- The DREAM_PACE project can seek to leverage the results of the OPTI-UP project to optimize and integrate the DRT solutions developed in the project. For instance, the DREAM_PACE project can integrate the optimized public transport services developed in the OPTI-UP project with the innovative DRT solutions developed by DREAM_PACE, resulting in a more comprehensive and integrated mobility network. (EN), SUSTANCE – Sustainable public transport solutions and innovative governance schemes for improving connectivity in Central Europe – Interreg Central Europe (EN) | The OPTI-UP project and the SUSTANCE project have similar goals in improving public transport in Europe. OPTI-UP focuses on optimizing public transport networks using advanced data analytics and modeling techniques to reduce emissions, increase accessibility and affordability, and align with development goals. SUSTANCE focuses on developing innovative public transport solutions in peripheral and cross-border areas of Central Europe to reduce individual mobility and promote socio-economic development. (EN)
