SYNCHROMODE participated in two relevant events in Brussels in February 2025: the RTR Conference and the Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster meeting (MTMC).
The RTR Conference – standing for Results for Road transport Research – has taken place from 11 to 13 February 2025 in Brussels. Organised by the European Commission, it aimed at showcasing the progress and impacts of EU-funded road transport projects, covering key areas such as green vehicles, urban mobility, logistics, intelligent transport systems, safety, and automated vehicles. The Conference has featured 26 sessions, 92 projects and 100 speakers, among which SYNCHROMODE!
Indeed, on 13 February, SYNCHROMODE had the chance to participate in the afternoon session together with ACUMEN Project and DELPHI_EU project, delving into multimodal traffic management for door-to-door transport of passengers and freight. Dimitris Tzanis from CERTH has provided valuable insights about the project activities and progress.
This Conference not only allowed to showcase the project, but also engaging with stakeholders, exchange ideas, identify synergies and incorporate lessons learned into our work.
The Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster met on 12 February 2025 for a fruitful session. MTMC is a collaborative initiative involving seven EU-funded Horizon Europe research projects under the topic of Multimodal Traffic Management (MTM), including: FRONTIER, TANGENT, ORCHESTRA, DIT4TraM, SYNCHROMODE, ACUMEN, and DELPHI. It is dedicated to facilitating multimodal network and traffic management shaping the future of multimodal mobility in Europe.
During the session, the projects have presented their use cases along with their technology progress and readiness levels. Useful lessons learnt have been shared as well from past projects such as TANGENT, FRONTIER, Orchestra2020 and DIT4TraM.
This in-person meeting also dived into a session on potential synergies of case studies and possibilities for cross testing and evaluation of the different solutions developed between projects.
The cluster’s project officer Thiago Tavares opened the session and Tiffany Vlemmings from DGMOVE provided an overview of the current policy framework and legislative context of the upcoming working program to set the scene on how our projects can inform the policy. In addition, she provided the representatives of the projects with information about the priorities and initiatives on behalf of the new Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism European Commission
SYNCHROMODE and the MTM cluster together, are driving forward transformative and innovative solutions to meet the evolving demands of future multimodal mobility.
