The Attika Use Case aims to develop multimodal logistics route suggestions by enabling on-demand use of the metro network, offering an alternative to traditional roadway transportation. The key stakeholders in this pilot are Attikes Diadromes (AΤD) and STASY. AΤD is responsible for operating and maintaining the Athens Ring Road (Attiki Odos – AO), a tollway that facilitates free-flow traffic around the city center, connecting the downtown area with the national motorway network and Athens International Airport. STASY, a public sector organization, manages Athens’ fixed-track transportation systems, including the Athens Metro, Electric Railway (ISAP), and Tram.

Currently, ATD and STASY operate independently, each using their own data exchange systems without real-time collaboration. This lack of integration means they cannot share real-time traffic conditions, incidents, or transport mode changes, especially during peak congestion. Given the frequent traffic congestion on AO, freight and courier services need the flexibility to switch to faster transport modes when necessary.

The primary goal of the DELPHI Pilot is to create a dynamic solution that allows logistics services using the AO ring road to reroute on demand. The concept involves redirecting deliveries to designated metro stations where goods can be loaded onto specialized metro carriages, ensuring faster and more efficient deliveries through a combination of roadway and metro logistics. This approach focuses on providing flexible, on-demand mobility solutions rather than relying on pre-scheduled metro logistics operations.
