The synergy between two European transportation projects, the optimised CO-Modal PASSenger transport for reducing carbon emissions (Compass) and Optimising Passenger Transport Information to Materialise Insights for Sustainable Mobility (Optimism) has prompted the release of a joint newsletter to report their activities and findings.

Both projects share common objectives.  Through the scientific analysis of social behaviour, mobility patterns and business models they propose a set of strategies, recommendations and policy measures for integrating and optimising the transport system, based on the modelling and the assessment of the impact of co-modality and ICT solutions for transport.

The two projects complement each other in several ways:

•    Optimism provides a policy approach with a macro-perspective.  Compass suggests a more micro-approach (business models, case studies) and has a focus on actual impacts of the various ICT solutions.

•    Compass analyses new possibilities for collecting data with ICT methodologies. Optimism‘s focus lies on developing an efficient methodology for future harmonisation of travel data.

•    Compass will focus on the potential for ICT applications to meet the implications arising from the key trends.   Optimism will focus on how these trends could be modelled for enriching micro- and macro modelling exercises.

•    The results of the case studies from Compass (especially on user reactions to ICT-solutions) could be very helpful in estimating the impacts of the various strategies defined in Optimism.

•    Some results of Optimism may be used to help modelling the EU impacts by Compass.
