TANGENT Project

TANGENT is an EU-funded Horizon2020 project. It develops new complementary tools for optimising traffic operations in a coordinated and dynamic way. The project coordinator is the University of Deusto. The cities involved are Lisbon, Great Manchester, Rennes, and Athens. TANGENT helps these cities achieve a 10% reduction travel time, 8-10% reduction in CO2 emissions, 5% reduction of accidents, 10-15% increase in use of public transport. TANGENT takes into consideration automated/non-automated vehicles, passengers, and freight transport. It allows the knowledge and management of the mobility flows among the transport modes and enables the implementation and integration of innovative mobility solutions, services, and business models. The project contributes to more efficient traffic management, by reducing congestion, mitigate environmental effects through CO2 reduction, increasing safety and economic advantage.
