The main project’s objective is to design and apply an energy-efficient, regional intelligent transportation system-ITS that will support the efficient realization of both the tourist promotion of the cross-border area, the student’s daily transport and the facilitation of residents in their daily transport. Specific objectives are:

(a) The added value of the area’s touristic sites through the e-minibuses routes.
(b) The enhancement of the cross-border cultural relations.
(c) An optimal route scheduling in coordination with the design & implementation of PV charging stations for minibuses.
(d) The realization of the ITS that will facilitate both tourists,residents’ (elderly,disabled,distant-residents) and students’ daily transportation. Especially for accessibility of disabled people, a utility e-vehicle and a relative smart phone application is predicted.
(e) The decarbonisation of transport and the support to the electricity grid.-Progr.obj.:Integrated solutions for reducing the carbon footprint of road facilities & transport in cross-border area
(f) Cooperation between partners during the optimal route studies, development & operation phases.
(g) Public awareness about the integration of e-vehicles fuelled by the sun in cities, and communication & dissemination of the project results to national,regional & local authorities to promote green transport.
