The project will develop a service and supporting toolkit that draws on a unique combination of big data analytics, multiple data sources from a sensor-rich environment, and ongoing collaboration between citizens, local authorities, leading researchers and technology providers. EST’s service-based approach to congestion management represents a fundamental departure from traditional ways of thinking about mobility management in a city and the disjointed approach to the data capture, analysis, strategy and intervention that is currently prevalent.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
