Västtrafik is part of an EU project for testing intelligent, energy-efficient and passenger-friendly bus service innovations across 12 cities in Europe. The most effective solutions are expected to create new market opportunities for cutting-edge technology in public transport.
“We will also test adaptable eco-driving support systems that take into account that bus drivers need to keep to tight schedules and stop frequently. New IT solutions that inform drivers of how they are performing will encourage greener driving behaviour,” says EU project coordinator Michele Tozzi.
