Workshop 6, Bologna, Partner Logo 6 FLIPPER FL exible transport services and I CT P latform for eco-mobility in urban and rural Euro PE an a R eas The Pilots Drawing on the outputs from the feasibility studies, 6 sites will be fully developed into pilot applications. The implementation of the pilots will include: –design and implementation of ICT solutions supporting operation and coordination of FTS ; –implementation of the supporting organisational measures required to achieve the planned FTS; –start up the pilot demonstration; –data collection and evaluation of the FTS impacts; –identification and transfer of good practices.
