TANGENT developed new complementary tools for optimising traffic operations in a coordinated and dynamic way from a multimodal perspective and considering automated / non-automated vehicles, passengers, and freight transport. TANGENT was a project funded by the European Commission under the Research and Innovation Programme. The project started in September 2021 and ended in November 2024. TANGENT was coordinated by Universidad de Deusto / Deustuko Unibertsitatea, based in Bilbao, Spain. The pilot cities involved were Lisbon, Great Manchester, Rennes, and Athens.

TANGENT improved knowledge and management of mobility flows among a range of transport modes. In addition, it enables the implementation and integration of innovative mobility solutions, services, and business models. The project contributes to more efficient traffic management, facilitating multimodal networks, accelerating the transition towards connected and automated mobility, reducing pollutant emissions and congestion, improving safety and security, and reducing the cost of mobility for all. TANGENT is helping the pilot cities achieve the goals of a 10% reduction in travel time, 8-10% reduction in CO2 emissions, 5% reduction of accidents, and 10-15% increase in use of public transport.
