TEAM – Cooperative Mobility for Europe
Overview
The TEAM Project pursues the vision of elastic mobility – a cooperative mobility management that intelligently connects travelers, vehicles, and infrastructure. The goal is to shape decision-making and optimization processes in traffic collaboratively and in real-time to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Cooperative Applications
The results contributed to 11 cooperative applications, which are divided into two categories:
FLEX – Infrastructure-oriented Applications
CMC – Collaborative Monitoring & Control Adaptive traffic control through the combination of vehicle data, sensors, and traffic management centers to reduce congestion, emissions, and energy consumption.
COPLAN – Collaborative Co-modal Route Planning Route planning across different modes of transport based on real-time data, user preferences, and ecological criteria.
CCA – Co-modal Coaching with Avatar Support Virtual avatar users compare real trips with optimal alternatives and provide feedback on time, costs, and CO₂ emissions.
CSI – Collaborative Smart Intersection Intelligent traffic light control prioritizing buses, emergency vehicles, and other road users to improve traffic flow.
CPTO – Collaborative Public Transport Optimization Dynamic adjustment of bus routes and schedules based on demand, traffic flow, and environmental goals.
DC – Dynamic Corridors Flexible assignment of lanes for buses, trucks, or delivery traffic depending on the time of day and traffic volume.
DIALOGUE – Driver & User-oriented Applications
C-ACC – Collaborative Adaptive Cruise Control Extension of traditional adaptive cruise control through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for harmonious traffic flow.
EFP – Eco-friendly Parking Real-time information about available parking spaces through connected vehicles and sensors, supported by cloud services.
CDM – Collaborative Driving & Merging Assistance systems for safe merging, lane changes, roundabouts, and other driving situations with increased coordination between vehicles.
SG-CB – Serious Game & Community Building Gamified platform for drivers and travelers that promotes collaborative behavior and supports sustainable driving practices through community feedback.
CONAV – Collaborative Eco-friendly Navigation Navigation system that balances individual routes with community requirements (traffic load, emissions, safety).
Project Goals
TEAM aimed to develop an elastic and collaborative mobility management system that:
- utilizes cooperative decision-making and optimization algorithms,
- integrates real-time data from vehicles, travelers, and infrastructure,
- motivates drivers and travelers to actively participate,
- and makes the benefits of sustainable mobility visible.
