closed

The objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to support the national and sub-national authorities of several countries in Latin America with the design and implementation of innovative technologies in transport projects. Specifically, this TC seeks to support the following activities: (i) Design innovative projects with BIG DATA applications added to artificial intelligence for demand forecasts that can be used in transportation planning and management; especially for vulnerable groups. (ii) Carry out the implementation of pilot projects of transport technologies which incorporate new trends in urban merchandise distribution, transport planning tools and MaaS (Mobility-as-a-service) (iii) Use Blockchain technology applied to transport projects including, but not limited to: project management throughout full project cycle; logistics and freight; and climate change accountability tools regarding the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of GHG emissions in transport projects. (iv) Technology applications for transport projects under execution to better monitor, supervise and evaluate the progress of works.
