Project overview

Demand REsponsive trAnsport integrating regional Mobility networks for PAssengers in Central Europe

Sustainable mobility offers are improving across central Europe but the various modes are not always seamlessly connected with each other. Such integration is especially challenging in sparsely populated regions but also cities struggle to meet customer expectations perfectly well. The DREAM_PACE develops demand-responsive transport concepts for regional mobility networks. The partners develop a strategy to integrate these into sustainable urban mobility plans and test operational innovations.

About the project

IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY IN CENTRAL EUROPE During its 36-month duration, DREAM_PACE will work to improve accessibility and connectivity in the Central Europe peripheral and rural areas, by integrating the Public Transport (PT) offer with Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services. This will be obtained by the development of innovative DRT concepts bridging regional mobility networks and the improvement of DRT planning and delivery capacities of public authorities and operators. DREAM_PACE project will tackle different specific challenges, targeting 6 areas of Central Europe, areas which have different background conditions. 1. We foster a better integration of DRT and public transport in Bologna (Italy), Pavia (Italy), Budapest (Hungary) 2. We support a better coordination among existing DRT initiatives through a bottom-up approach in Osttirol (Austria) and Baden-Wuerttenberg (Germany) 3. We experiment new integrated approaches for DRT "greenfield" in Split-Dalmatia County (Croatia).

Roadmap

1

Step 1 - Analysis

This preliminary activity will provide an overview on status and trends of DRT digital and operational innovations in EU and CE regions, and deliver scenarios for the delivery of new services and options.

2

Step 2 - Living Labs

DREAM_PACE will set six Living Labs in order to map and engage stakeholder, as well as raising awareness among local communities and target groups. DREAM_PACE project will tackle different specific challenges, in areas which have different background conditions. 1. We foster a better integration of DRT and public transport in Bologna (Italy), Pavia (Italy), Budapest (Hungary). 2. We support a better coordination among existing DRT initiatives through a bottom-up approach in Osttirol (Austria) and Baden-Wuerttenberg (Germany) 3. We experiment new integrated approaches for DRT "greenfield" in Split-Dalmatia County (Croatia).

3

Step 3 - Pilots

In step 3, pilots, DREAM_PACE will jointly design innovative digital and service model blueprint enhancing existing and new DRT networks. This is done pursuing responsiveness in rural/peripheral areas, leveraging digital and operational innovative elements, and nudging change in the decision makers' process.

4

Step 4 - Common Strategy

DREAM_PACE will exploit the potential of integrated planning and digital and operational innovations for a common strategy and develop innovative Demand Response Transport modular solutions. The project implementation builds on transnational cooperation to guarantee an adequate responsiveness and adaptability of project results to specific characteristics of mobility ecosystems across CE rural and peripheral areas.

DREAM PACE D1.1.1 Report On DRT Governance And Planning In CE We are excited to present the first edition of our biannual newsletter, designed to keep our Project Partners (PPs) and stakeholders updated on the progress and developments within the DREAM_PACE project. As we continue on this journey, we aim to build an integrated DRT 3.0 strategy for Central Europe regions.

Deliverables

DREAM PACE D2.1.1 Analysis Report On DRT Digital And Operational Innovations In CE Final This report analyses the DRT (Demand-Responsive- transport) digital and operational innovations in the Central Europe Regions. After an overview of the current situation, this report analyses common DRT digital and operational trends, providing highlights on the role of DRT services in low demand peripheral and rural areas and a common framework for the classification of DRT digital and operational models. In doing so, the report focuses also on the technological components of a DRT system and on the digital frameworks enabling its functioning. A more in-depth investigation is done about DRT in some Central Europe countries (Austria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy) plus France (countries of some of the DREAM_PACE Associated Partners).

Deliverables

DREAM PACE D3.1.1 Methodological Background For The Design Of DRT Final LAST This deliverable presents the DREAM_PACE methodology for the analysis, the diagnosis of local contexts, stakeholder engagement and co-design of DRT innovative solutions, providing guidance to the project’s Living Labs for the planning and delivery of innovative, integrated, and inclusive DRT services! This includes i) mapping the local stakeholders, ii) defining mobility context, policies, and regulations for informed decision-making, iii) co-making of planning and scenarios. So, nice reading!
