D3.1 Travel behaviour: state-of-the-art, current and future mobility patterns
This deliverable aims to identify all relevant factors affecting travel decision-making and to set the framework for an inclusive mobility data collection plan. In order to achieve this goal, the international literature consisting of published papers and scientific books is collected and critically analysed based on three major axes:
1. The most relevant approaches to collect data on travellers’ decision-making process.
2. The state-of-the-art approaches to analyse and model travel decisions.
3. The most important factors that may affect the decision-making process of travellers with special emphasis on infrastructure- and system-related factors (e.g., the introduction of new services and the occurrence of network disruptions).

D3.2 Travel choice modelling (set of models, code) (First release)
This deliverable defines the process and methodology to develop travel choice models based on preference data elicited through a structured survey.
To collect data for creating and calibrating travel choice models, a travel behaviour survey was designed to determine how the introduction of new services, the new traffic management strategies or the alteration of strategic goals in a city may affect travellers’ choices. Based on the collected sample, parametric (Multinomial Logit) and machine learning (Random Forest) models have been developed to predict the mode choice in an aggregated way. Overall, this study’s findings aim to provide a basis for forecasting long-term demand shifts and provides valuable insights into travel mode choice which can inform future urban mobility planning efforts.
D3.3 In-depth analysis of travel behaviour
The goal of D3.3 is to conduct a comprehensive study on how introducing new modes of transportation and traffic management strategies affects the appeal of various transportation options and the resulting choices of commuters in selecting these modes. The key strength of this work is the use of two complementary data sources that allow for the creation of econometric mode choice models that integrate both commuters’ perceptions on the attractivity of different modes, as reflected in stated preference data, and their real-world choices, as indicated by revealed preference data of their actual trips.
D3.4 Travel choice modelling (set of models, code) (Second release)
This document represents the second deliverable, namely D3.2 “Travel Choice Modelling” from Task 3.3, “Travel choice modelling”. The objective of the deliverable is to define the process and methodology to develop travel choice models based on preference data elicited through a structured survey.
D4.1 Report on the relevant state-of-the-art approaches for traffic predictions and simulations
This deliverable explores the state-of-the-art prediction methodologies such as data-driven and simulation-based estimation and prediction approaches, both on supply and demand side. The focus of the report is on deep learning approaches for efficient numerical representations of traffic networks, data availability and granularity, new data sources and graph theory. The analysis is widened with aspects such as transferability and generalizability of the different methods.
The state-of-the-art provides an overview of what has been done in the field of traffic state predictions and simulations and what should be further explored. The results of this exploration will provide the base for the development of the techniques for the remaining tasks of this WP.
D4.4 Report on the detection and impact analysis of traffic events
The main goal of work package (WP) 4 is to develop a framework for real-time traffic monitoring and forecasting under various circumstances (e.g., large/sport event, roadworks, accidents, etc.) while incorporating novel traffic sensing technologies from smart infrastructure and sensors. It will extend the state-of-the-art regarding traffic forecasting approaches with a focus on modern and future mobility.
The objective of this document is to introduce the anomaly detection methods and duration models that are used in the case studies of the TANGENT project to detect and analyse the impact of various events which are extreme traffic conditions caused by, e.g., an accident or nonrecurrent congestion. Survival models are developed to determine the duration of the event.

operators, aid authorities and policymakers in planning, and manage infrastructure.
This deliverable introduces the relevancy of smart infrastructure classifications based on a literature review, shares best practices and identifies relevant requirements. It showcases TANGENT’s own smart infrastructure classification, the Smart Infrastructure Classification Index (SICI), laying out the TANGENT classification categories, its evaluation criteria, and its integration into the TANGENT’s platform. It presents the evaluation process of each SICI category, by providing a detailed list of evaluation criteria for each of the items in each of the categories. Finally, this deliverable introduces how the consortium will implement SICI in TANGENT’s integrated platform.
D6.6 Smart infrastructure index report (Second release)
The shift towards Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) represents a significant paradigm shift in mobility. To navigate this transition effectively, the establishment of standardized procedures for evaluating infrastructure capabilities is crucial. One of these procedures is the definition of classifications schemes to evaluate the maturity, readiness or support infrastructures can provide for CCAM. These classifications serve a multifaceted purpose, including informing end-users, assisting operators, and aiding authorities and policymakers in planning the evolution of CCAM. Furthermore, as smart infrastructures become more prevalent, these standardized approaches play a pivotal role in infrastructure management, by guiding planning future infrastructure improvements and investments to support higher levels of automation and advanced use cases.
D7.3 Assessment of the testing results in the case study of Rennes
Rennes Métropole is a grouping of 43 municipalities, centred around the city of Rennes, the capital of the Brittany region. It was composed of 451,762 inhabitants in 2018 (of which 217,728 in Rennes proper) and is experiencing significant population growth, with a forecast of 100,000 inhabitants additional in 2040. The goal of Métropoles in France is to build a better metropolitan area around the biggest cities, notably by synchronising the transport system. Rennes Métropole, as the Public Transport Authority, defines the overall transport strategy in its territory through its Urban Transport Plan and consequently organises the public transport policy in its 43 municipalities. The main policy objective is to reduce by 10% the overall number of trips by private car (in Km) between 2010 and 2030. Actions include strengthening the use of car-sharing, cycling and public transport and better managing the use of private cars (speed limitation, mitigating air pollution, and transport network optimisation).
D7.4 Assessment of the testing results in the case study of Lisbon
The Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA) is a grouping of 19 municipalities centered around the city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. It has over 2.8 million residents, with Lisbon alone being home to over half-a-million inhabitants. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a progressive worsening of congestion observed in the city, both due to an increase in the population around the LMA, and to a migratory effect of residents shifting away from the city center and towards other municipalities. As a high percentage of jobs are still located in the capital, this has led to a pronounced intensification of commuting traffic entering and exiting the city.
D7.5 Assessment of the testing results in the case study of Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester (GM) is a large city region in the North West of England with 2.73 million residents across 1,276 square kilometres. GM is the UK’s first combined authority (GMCA), bringing together 10 local authorities to address strategic challenges. With over 2.1 billion journeys annually, including 268 million by public transport, GM faces issues such as congestion, air quality, and heavy reliance on private vehicles. Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) plays a central role in managing the city’s multimodal transport network and is delivering the transition to the Bee Network, an integrated transport system.
D7.6 Assessment of the testing results in the case study of Athens
Athens is the capital of Greece and of the Attica region, as well as the largest city of Greece, and is one of the largest economic hubs in Southern Europe. The population of the wider metropolitan area of Athens is approximately four (4) million inhabitants, making Athens the eighth largest urban area in the European Union. The Municipality of Athens (Athens city centre) has a population of more than 600000 inhabitants and a land area of more than 38 km2. Due to the high density of the population, Athens faces severe congestion problems due to the rising demand for car trips and the lack of coordination between modes.
