User-friendly information tool on urban and regional vehicle access regulation schemes
UVAR-BOX is the EU project which has been established to tackle fragmented or unavailable information on up-to-date and relevant UVARs (Urban Vehicle Access Regulations) policies in European cities.
The 24-month project successfully ended in 2023 and developed the Datex II standard for UVARs and a tool, the UVAR-BOX, to facilitate the input of UVAR data into the Datex II standard, which can be read automatically by navigation systems and mobile applications available to European drivers.
UVAR policies pursue various objectives such as improving air quality, livability and reducing congestion. The project aimed to harmonize and disseminate information on UVAR policies in fleet management tools and navigation devices.
Its widespread application and use will support both road users to plan journeys across the EU, and local authorities and Member States to set up standardized communication procedures in line with European regulations on the dissemination of mobility-related information (ITS directive and single digital gateway).
TRT, as part of a large consortium, had the role of Italian Country Coach to support Italian public administrations in this digitization process.
