Accessibility and connectivity are key issues for remote areas in the Noth-Sea region which lag behind in terms of socio-economic development. The project will develop novel ICT applications for the integration of passenger flows as well as private freight flows. It aims at the further specialization of the information architecture already developed in the project by bringing in new partners with specific knowledge on dynamic scheduling and incentivizing strategies. Results: Sustainable business models on ITS, strategies for smart specialization in the North-Sea region.
