1 USE-IT: Users, Safety, Security and Energy in Transport Infrastructure Stakeholders Workshop 1 Ewa Zofka, IBDiM Brussel

2 Overview of the Project Topic: MG-8.2b-2014 (Next generation transport infrastructure: resource efficient, smarter and safer) Start date: 01 May 2015 End date/duration: 30 April 2017/24 months Budget: 95, EUR Type of action: CSA

3 Overview of the Project 8 Partners: FEHRL, AIT, EURNEX, IBDIM, IFSTTAR, LNEC, STAC, TRL 6 Third parties linked to FEHRL: CDV, CEDEX, DNDI, TNO, VGTU, VTI

4 Challenges Transport network challenges: congestion, scarcity of resources (can t add more infrastructure) Ageing of rail and road infrastructures Advances in sensors, mobile communications, data processing Automation in surface transport Addressing safety & security in transport Carbon emissions & Energy consumption Social challenges

5 Solution More cooperation between infrastructure owners, transport operators and other stakeholders is needed USE-iT facilitates the cooperation USE-iT supports cross-modal technology applications

6 Work Packages and WP Leaders WP1: Project Management (FEHRL) WP2: User Information (IBDIM) WP3: Safety and Security (AIT) WP4: Energy and Carbon (TRL) WP5: Dissemination and exploitation/ implementation (FEHRL)

7 USE-iT Goals Transport infrastructure user (passenger, freight forwarder, passenger and commercial vehicle, etc.) is assisted in the choice of a more efficient journey through clearer offers to choose from (e.g. time vs. cost). Technologies contribute to improved productivity in freight transport Safer and more reliable environment for passengers due to intermodal technology transferability Transportation infrastructure that meets users expectations Identify strategies to prove that user information management is a central building block towards the single European transport area, as it provides the meta-layer under which different modes appear as a single transport system to the end-users. At the end of the project provide recommendations to the European Commission regarding future R&D areas

8 USE-iT Outputs Reports on common challenges and opportunities across modes and domains Identifies common research challenges covering at least two transport modes Facilitates a roadmap detailing the research strategies and implementation stages to ensure greater co-modal cooperation

9 USE-iT Outcomes Infrastructure owners and operators from different modes will have the opportunity to implement technologies and processes learnt from interactions with actors in other modes Roadmap will lead to research calls developed to address the challenges identified

10 Modes and Domains Infrastructure Governance Technology Customer Road Rail Infrastructure Governance Technology Customer Water Air Infrastructure Governance Technology Customer Infrastructure Governance Technology Customer

11 Definition of Domains Infrastructure The transport network formed from Europe s routes and interchanges; the changes required in construction and maintenance, and the specifications used, set in the context of how the network will be used across the modes, how it can be adapted for future use, and the understanding of the human factors and the technology that will be involved. Technology The information, communications, sensor and power systems that will support the future transport network, and also the integration of different technologies and shared systems that will underpin the transformation of the transport network to allow common timetables, journey time reliability and planning, common ticketing across modes, regions and countries. Governance The management, operations, investment and appraisal of the network. There will need to be a transformation from the status quo, as infrastructure management will need to be integrated geographically and across modes with the development of shared systems and processes with a focus on overall network capacity and operation. USE-iT Customer The most important, and yet often forgotten element of our transport system. Customers, whether they are individuals, transport companies or freight movers have to pay regardless of modes through tickets, fuel, taxes and duties. Linked to the Governance domain will be an understanding of their motivation for travelling and mode choice in order to implement policy interventions to support political objectives, such as for example promotion of active travel or modal shift.
