The EC-funded projects SIMBA and SIMBA II initiated road transport research cooperation between the EU, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to address worldwide transport challenges affecting the environment, road safety, mobility and efficiency. VIAJEO and STADIUM projects, successful follow-ups to the SIMBA projects, are R&D and demonstration projects which will develop and demonstrate functionalities which will contribute to improved strategic mobility management.
