Abstract
Accessibility and connectivity are essential for livability and economic growth
throughout the world. Improving the accessibility of physical transport is
important for achieving the social and economic inclusion of rural areas. In
reality, rural areas lag behind with respect to physical accessibility and
connectivity. The ambition of the ITRACT project (Improving Transport and
Accessibility through new Communication Technologies) was to use ICT to
create smart mobility services to improve accessibility and connectivity in rural
areas
Improving Transport and Accessibility through new communication technologies (ITRACT) is a project funded by the European Union. The Interreg IVB and the EFRE programs have the focus on rural regions and their special needs. Involved in the ITRACT project are partners in the Netherlands, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and Germany.
