Working together in RUMOBIL will provide them a platform to exchange their knowledge, to generate learning through launching pilot applications of state-of-the-art tools and solutions, and revise their transport policies to better suit changing mobility needs. Main outputs of RUMOBIL are therefore pilot actions, the elaboration of a RUMOBIL Strategy and policy-decisions to implement it in the eight partner regions through an improvement of their transport plans. Pilot actions allow testing a number of innovative applications during a period of 12 to 18 months how sparsely populated peripheral areas can be better linked to a primary, secondary or tertiary transport node (access to European and national passenger transport networks). The transnational RUMOBIL Strategy indicates to CE regions innovative and transferable public transport approaches – based on jointly analysed good practices, the combined knowledge of the partners and involved stakeholders, learning from the pilots, and fresh ideas put forward through a transnational social media-based competition. The strategies’ implementation across the partner regions is prepared through work papers focussing on different aspects of transport policies and forecasts how demand for public transport will develop in coming years. Finally, decisions to revise the transport plans in light of the RUMOBIL Strategy are introduced to policy-makers. Communication activities aim to lead to political support for a change of transport policies and the strategy’s adoption beyond the partner areas. All outcomes are jointly assessed in site-visits, transnational workshops and a coordinated evaluation under the hospices of research institutions participating in RUMOBIL. TBRIDGE will act as technical coordination in the elaboration of the RUMOBIL Strategy and its implementation in the partner’s areas.

Description:

Cameo is a technology aimed to support every user, also old persons or disabled, who needs localization information regardless of where he is, outdoor or inside a building. The goal is the creation of a device that offers a generally improved service compared to the current individual location solutions thanks to the high degree of integration between the used technologies. The localization information must coexist in a single device able to manage, in a completely transparent way for the user, the handover of the change between the various technologies used for the definition of the positioning both in open and indoor environments. In open environment, already available technologies such as GPS / GNSS satellite signals are used and in the indoor one, available and working technologies are also used (some of which created to support services other than localization, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee but also RFID) providing the interaction of several means of communication on the same support. They are also integrated by proprietary algorithms for the best definition of the indoor location, with continuity characteristics and high degree of accuracy. The Cameo is divided into two main services called Cammeo Service (integrated within a common mobile phone) and Cammeo Transceiver (useful for the personal safety of disabled users). Progesi is responsible for the technical-operational coordination of the project, the design of the software applications and the testing of the developed prototypes.
