On 4 March 2025, the European Commission and SYNCHROMODE partners gathered for the project’s mid-term review, encompassing the first period of the project from the beginning to October 2024.
The project coordinators Evangelos Mitsakis and Dimitris Tzanis presented the activities carried out so far and outlined the planned next steps. The session provided an opportunity to take stock of the progress made and to adjust the planning to ensure successful delivery of the results.
The good news is that SYNCHROMODE is on track and committed to making this project a success!
When it comes to dissemination and communication, SYNCHROMODE has participated in 15 events in total since the beginning, with 2 international events at the ITS in Dubai and TRB AM in Washington D.C.
It is also part of the Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster, which meets regularly to facilitate peer exchange, promote joint project visibility at events, and organize interactive sessions. We are one of the main contributors to the Cluster’s strategic roadmap and serve as a leading partner within the initiative.
In terms of publications, 4 have been accepted during this period, while several other abstracts have already been submitted and are pending positive outcomes. And there’s more to come!
Several core components of the SYNCHROMODE Toolbox have already been developed and deployed, including the Data Quality Tool, which assesses real-time and historical data from multiple sources; the Trajectories Analytics module, which extracts traffic patterns from floating car data; the Public Transport Service KPIs module, which monitors and estimates public transport service quality; and the Prediction Module, which integrates machine learning models to forecast traffic states and support proactive decision-making.
At the same time, additional modules are under active development. These focus on ensuring resilient multimodal network traffic management during both planned and unplanned events, leveraging advanced simulation techniques and state-of-the-art optimization methods to support integrated and dynamic traffic management strategies.
