The project “Implementation of innovative learning methods in using smart tachographs with the purpose of strengthening digitization and decarbonization processes” recognized the existence of a discrepancy between informal patterns of tachograph use by professional drivers and transport company staff that is present in most EU member states. Likewise, it recognized the need to provide professional drivers and staff of transport companies with the possibility of additional professional training to improve their knowledge and skills in the use of digital and smart tachographs. Moreover, it was determined that there is no quality training program in this area, based on which the representatives of the target group will be provided with the necessary professional skills so that they can perform their professional duties in an innovative, safe, and efficient way, harmonized with the highest EU driving standards and practices of using new technologies in traffic. The detected priorities of the project are new and innovative approaches to learning and training, as well as environmental sustainability. Accordingly, as part of the project, activities will be carried out that will contribute to the solution of existing problems and inconsistencies by creating an informal curriculum for vocational education and training, developing a webinar on the decarbonization of traffic, designing an interactive digital platform with accompanying e-learning and a virtual room, and conducting test trainings.
The duration of the project is 15 months, from March 1, 2022, until June 1, 2023.

The project is implemented in partnership with three organizations, namely Pučko otvoreno učilište AMC Nova Gradiška, Pannonia Consulting d.o.o. and Prometni Center Blisk d.o.o. The partnership was formed based on the experience, expertise, and implementation capabilities of the organizations. The goal of such a partnership is to provide added value, that is, the potential for capacity building and knowledge exchange at the inter-regional level, as well as responding to the needs of the target groups.
