The Role of TAG (Transport Advisory Group) and Engagement in Future Transport Policy Dr Delia DIMITRIU TAG member

Designing a Research Programme at EU level Horizon 2020_Work Programme Transport Input from: TAG Members (start Oct 2013) European Technology Platforms (ETPs) National experts via Programme Committees Process: 2-3 Drafts checked with MS national experts via Programme Committees~ 1.5 year Commission inter-service Consultation Adoption- summer 2015 Publication of calls - Oct

3 29 specialists from industry, academe and civil society 16 nationalities ; all modes represented passenger + freight; manufacturing + services Transport Advisory Group/TAG

4 Differing Perspectives on Transport

Objectives  Refresh the research agenda for the second phase of H2020/Transport  Respond to important new developments 5

Priorities The new research programme needs to tackle transport system integration for :  efficiency  sustainability  competitiveness  resilience  safety  accessibility  inclusiveness TAG identified 11 major challenges to be prioritized in future H2020 research 6

8 TAG - KEY CHALLENGES (10) 1.Identify & understand the impact of the drivers of urban mobility & their dynamic interaction (4 calls/2017)* 2.Satisfy societal needs, changes & trends by optimising the use of existing transport systems, where possible (1/2016; 3/2017)* 3.Risk management in extreme weather conditions (2/2016; 3/2017)* 4.The impact of the development of new technologies & material on transport safety (Safety section* & Green Vehicles call) 5.Mitigate local environmental impact: noise & air quality (1/2016; 2/2017)* 6.Climate change mitigation: alternative energy sources (1/2017* & Green Vehicles call) * Mobility for Growth

TAG - KEY CHALLENGES (cont.) 7. Effectively harnessing new transport related ICT technology & data management opportunities (2/2017*); ‘Intelligent Transport Systems' section (1/2017* ) 8. Deploying innovative technologies, materials, and processes of transport infrastructure management (2/2017*); ‘Infrastructure' section (1/2016*) 9. Competitiveness of the European transport sector in global markets: assessment of future opportunities & threats (1/2016*; 2/2017*); 'Automated Road Transport' call. 10. Cooperation & competitiveness in the European transport market (2/2016*; 3/2017*). Other actions: Support to policy activities * Mobility for Growth 9

The Importance of ETPs European Technology Platforms (ETPs) are industry-led stakeholder fora recognised by the European Commission as key actors in driving innovation, knowledge transfer and European competitiveness. ETPs develop: research and innovation agendas, and roadmaps for action at EU and national level ETPs aim: be supported by both private and public funding. mobilise stakeholders to deliver on agreed priorities and share information across the EU. 10

Transport oriented ETPs ACARE - Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe ERRAC - European Rail Transport Research Advisory Council ERTRAC - European Road Transport Research Advisory Council Logistics - European Technology Platform on Logistics Waterborne - Water transport 11

Future Transport Policy A review of the research requirements: Important topics to continue: Increasing the take up and scale-up of innovative solutions to achieve sustainable mobility in urban areas Gaps to be identified (i.e. rail) Need: - To improve the dissemination, commercialization and adoption of EU transport research outputs Focus: European Transport Decarbonization 12

Possible Topics Most promising methods of reducing carbon emissions from European transport: - Energy efficiency; LAQ; LUP; demand management/reduce the need for movement(passengers & freight -Increase ICT role -Modal shift (increase use of low carbon transport modes) -Increase use of alternative energy -Sectoral interaction -City re-design, etc. 13

How to Engage with EC and Inform future Policy Through ETPs Involve with National experts & Programme Committees Take part in events: "Taking stock of EU transport policy - the 2011 White Paper: achievements and challenges“ (12 November 2015 ) EU-level transport stakeholder federations Technical reports with EU & International impact Involve in open public consultation 14

TAG & ERTRAC similar objectives Towards a 50% more efficient road transport system by 2030: ERTRAC’s Strategic Research Agenda Guiding objectives for IndicatorGuiding objective DecarbonizationEnergy efficiency: urban passenger transport +80% (pkm/kWh)* Energy efficiency: long-distance freight transport +40% (tkm/kWh) * Biofuels: 25% Electricity: 5% Renewables in the energy pool ReliabilityReliability of transport schedules+50%* Urban accessibility Preserve; Improve where possible SafetyFatalities and severe injuries-60%* -70%* Cargo lost to theft and damage * Versus 2010 baseline

Sustainable Road Transport The need for a sustainable road transport system will shape the development of future vehicle concepts  Eco-friendly driving  Passenger comfort  Terminal efficiency  Driver and transport efficiency  Driving ‘safe and smart’  Logistics efficiency  Basic, affordable vehicles  Modularity  Cost-effective vehicles  Vehicle efficiency 17

Need to focus on inter-relationship between transport technology, social acceptance and behavioural change Emphasise integration and the dismantling of ‘silos’ in transport research Exploit the explosion in transport-related data likely to become available Broaden the definition and assessment of transport externalities 18 Recommendations
