OPTIMUM is an on-going EU funded project (Horizon 2020) that aims to establish a largely scalable, distributed architecture for the management and processing of multisource big-data, enabling continuous monitoring of transportation systems needs and proposing proactive decisions and actions in an (semi-) automatic way. Its duration is 28 months, starting from March 2015. 18 partners participated from Greece, Belgium, Portugal, Slovenia, Serbia, Austria, U.K. and Hungary.

GReTIA created a comprehensive green transport policy, research and development action plan for Aegean island areas, accounting for the unique characteristics and growth prospects of the area in its multiple dimensions. Data collection included network and use data that characterized living and traveling environments, surveys for residents and tourists, and atmospheric pollution data. Advanced integrated discrete and latent variable choice models for both tourists and residents to simulate their travel behavior were developed. Environmental and economic models to analyze and evaluate the impact of green transport policies were also developed. The final product was a policy platform which includes environmental analysis, travel simulation, and economic analysis. Duration 47 months (January 2012- November 2015).
