Electric Travelling project aims developing a complex ICT system to ease the implementation and further development of electromobility (e-mobility) in urban and suburban areas based on two innovative points.

From a micro perspective the extension of current routing algorithms and travel planning tools with the focus on e-mobility using a heuristic approaches and daily activity chain optimization. These elements will result in an electric vehicle user friendly planner, which serves in a long term perspective faster growing in the number of electric vehicle users in city.

From a macro perspective the integrated system will include verified elements extended with several modules that will allow the optimal allocation of charging stations, the analysis of emissions and the comparison of scenarios. It will become a powerful tool to support decision-making for local authorities. The implemented functions will provide a guide for the development of a proper strategy in the design and implementation of the charging infrastructure.

The project product will be implemented in three cities in Netherlands, Hungary and Poland. The implementation process will include case studies to identify smart e-mobility solutions adapted to specific urban or suburban areas.
