Amitran Stakeholder Workshop on Methodology and Validation in Brussels

Amitran Stakeholder Workshop on Methodology and Validation in Brussels

15/05/2013

In the second stakeholder workshop of the Amitran project the methodology and validation process were explained to the stakeholders. Goal of the workshop was to keep stakeholders up to date on what the project is doing, and to receive feedback on the content and activities. After an introduction to the project a presentation was given on the Amitran methodology and framework architecture. The Amitran methodology is for the evaluation of effects of ICT measures in traffic and transport on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. The framework architecture describes the steps, models, interfaces and simulation environments needed in applying the methodology. After the presentation the group is split into three smaller groups and within the groups several questions are discussed on the methodology using cases (Adaptive Cruise Control, Smartphone application giving multimodal real-time travel advice, and Road-side route information). Discussions were lively and very useful for the project. After lunch the validation plan and process were presented and it was explained that and how Amitran wants to work together with other projects in use cases to validate the methodology. This last issue was also discussed in two smaller groups. The Amitran consortium looks back at an enjoyable and useful day. Questions from the stakeholders and discussions (in groups as well as during lunch) help us in improving the project!
