Welcome to the OPTIMUM² website


OPTIMUM2 is a European project that has as its aim the improvement of the
accessibility of busy locations in urban areas.

 The reason for starting the project is the increasing traffic congestion at
busy locations in urban areas. Building new roads and adding more parking
space is often neither possible nor desirable. The result is locations that
are hard to reach and traffic flooding into the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Attempts to limit the use of cars have as of yet not had the hoped-for
result. 

 

OPTIMUM2 searches for attractive alternatives to cars and has introduced a
user-oriented approach. This transnational project was started to find out
if this approach works, in the UK and the Netherlands as well as in other
countries of North-West Europe. Eight partners will conduct ten trial
projects, to tackle the accessibility issue. For this project, two types of
locations were selected: hospitals and business areas. The project will last
until mid 2008.
