integRated intElligent multi-modal tRanspOrt infrastrUcTurE: distributed localised decision-making at the network edge

Modern transport systems face growing challenges due to urbanization, increasing mobility demands, and sustainability concerns. Intelligent multi-modal transport, combining road, rail, cycling, and walking, enhances mobility but struggles with congestion, security risks, lack of infrastructure support and adaptability. The RE-ROUTE project explores potential solutions using AI, edge computing, and decentralized decision-making to improve transport resilience, security, and efficiency. Overall Objectives of the project includes: Enhancing transport resilience by analyzing multi-source data to identify vulnerabilities and optimize safety, security, and accessibility. Developing an adaptive multi-modal intelligent transport system architecture (M-ITS) with real-time optimization to minimize service disruptions. Creating a secure, edge-based data-sharing platform for decentralized, privacy-preserving transport data exchange. Implementing a federated, decentralized decision-making model for real-time learning and network-edge adaptability. Validating project outcomes through real-world case studies to provide data-driven policy recommendations. RE-ROUTE will make the following impacts: Scientific impact: Advancing AI-driven transport resilience, federated learning, and cybersecurity with research published in leading journals. Technological impact: Developing secure, intelligent transport networks with interoperable, real-time decision-making. Economic impact: Reducing congestion, infrastructure costs, and operational inefficiencies and improving policymaker decision-making. Societal impact: Enhancing accessibility, sustainability, and digital security, ensuring public trust in transport networks. To achieve its objectives, RE-ROUTE takes an interdisciplinary approach, integrating computer science, engineering, social sciences, cybersecurity, and economics to create practical, inclusive, and secure transport solutions. User behavior analysis, cybersecurity frameworks, and economic models support efficient, sustainable, and policy-driven mobility planning.

Project objective

Urban areas host 70% of the EU population, and it is estimated that this will increase up to 84% by 2050, exacerbating the EU cities’ current daunting problems such as air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2019, the transport sector was accountable for 27% of total EU GHG emissions, of which road transport accounted for approximately 72%. Many cities are looking to promote public and nonmotorised forms of transport to provide access to safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable transport systems for all citizens. Many cities in Europe and worldwide are witnessing an increasing interest in shared and multi-modal mobility services using modes such as carsharing, bikes, ride-hailing, e-scooters facilitated by the emergence of intermediary mobility-on-demand platforms. Mobility services accessible ‘on demand’ can be achieved by an integrated Multimodal Intelligent Transport System (M-ITS) incorporating both motorised and non-motorised transport as well as private and public systems through the concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Sustainable mobility alternatives such as a fully integrated and seamless multimodal mobility system that can be made widely available with the communication and computation advancements. RE-ROUTE an integRated intElligent multi-modal tRanspOrt infrastrUcTurE: distributed localised decision-making at the network edge forms an international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral network of institutions with complementary skills, working on a joint research and knowledge transfer programme to improve the multi-modal Mobility-as-a- Service transport integration through localised Edge-based real-time data sharing, decentralised decision making, and localised network that places the processing at the proximity of data, contribute to evidence-based policy and physical infrastructure development and developing a unique skill set for the participating partners and improving their career prospects in the emerging ITS job market.
