The Project Objectives

RTI Technology is expected to lead to a more efficient and safe transport environment and consequently to less pollution. Furthermore, by introducing the dimensions of real time operation and information supply and exchange, RTI will certainly affect current travel behavioural and driving patterns. The SIRIUS Project, in such a context, deals with the estimation of socio-political impacts resulting from the implementation and use of Road Transport Informatics (RTI) in road transport and traffic. The project is a part of the DRIVE Programme.
