1. INTEND – INtentify future Transport rEsearch NeeDs
POLITICAL IMPERATIVES IN TRANSPORT.
A LONG-TERM VISION FOR THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
ICCTE - Belgrade September 2018

2. Political Imperatives
1. Scope of T 2.3
Role of Political Imperatives (PIs) within WP2
PIs shape directly (regulations) or indirectly (market rules) future policies
Main goal  snapshot of predominant forward looking PIs
Political Imperatives
Policies
Future of Mobility

3. 2. Objectives of and approach of T 2.3
The research question is as follows
Which PIs, formulated by and to whom, are at the moment part of the worldwide political discourse or deemed as putatively relevant for the future development of the European transport sector?

4. 2. Objectives of and approach of T 2.3
1. Identification PIs (Europe)
2. Identification PIs (outside Europe)
3. Comparison PIs
4. Identification of the most relevant PIs

5. 2. Objectives and approach of T 2.3
Qualitative data analysis with Atlas.ti
Text passages containing PIs can be coded ( categorization according to Mayring)
Combination of deductive (previously defined category set) and inductive (category set produced during coding process) category
Development of category system

6. 2. Objectives and approach of T 2.3
Results
Summary of the results in tabular form
Identification of the most frequent PIs
Since literature is read in its entirety, PIs beyond the mainstream will also be recognizable, which may suggest alternative paths
Comparative analysis  which demands/claims to the political sphere are already part of the intentions formulated by the political sphere
Column headers of the results table

7. 3. Defining the term “Political Imperative”
PIs as 1. Demand (we need …)
PIs as 2. Intention (we will …)

8. 4. Stakeholder Analysis and compilation of political imperatives in the transport sector
Results
135 sources for political imperatives have been collected
Around 7,920 pages of information
Relative distribution of material delivering stakeholders by stakeholder group

9. 4. Stakeholder Analysis and compilation of political imperatives in the transport sector
Results
Demands Frequency

10. 4. Stakeholder Analysis and compilation of political imperatives in the transport sector
Results
Intentions Frequency

11. 5. Identification of predominant/ game-changing political imperatives
Demands
General: focus on creation and implementation of clear and reliable frameworks and regulations  especially in the EU
Forward looking imperatives
Standardized EU-wide framework for autonom. driving vehicles
Digitization strategy for transport sector
Vision for a competetive and sustainable European transport system and industry

12. 5. Identification of predominant/ game-changing political imperatives
Intentions
Forward looking imperatives
Increasing competetiveness and efficieny
Implementation of intelligent transport systems
Cost-effectiveness and sustainability of financing system
Supporting ICT/ open data
Development towards MaaS

13. 6. Summary and outlook
135 different sources by stakeholders with relation to the European and global transport sector
Software supported qualitative content analysis of around 8000 pages
286 political imperatives  137 demands/ claims and 149 intentions
Most important imperatives:
Reducing GHG emissions by supporting modal shift, substituting the source of energy or using existing infrastructure more efficiently
Traffic safety (mainly focusing road transport)
Creation/ implementation of clear and reliable frameworks and regulations

14. 6. Summary and outlook Digitization strategy for the transport sector
Forward looking imperatives were mainly touching urban transport and data issues (mainly from European stakeholders)
Topics like intelligent transport systems, MaaS and green logistics are already part of some strategy papers and policies
Demands that might become more relevant in the future:
Digitization strategy for the transport sector
Strategy to apply and enforce high working standards
Safeguard a sufficient amount of workforce in the transport sector

15. 6. Summary and outlook Other relevant topics:
R&D in sharing services, autonomous vehicles  planning strategies and ways to regulate are necessary!
Reform of research environment by taking a holistic view on mobility and orient research on societal needs
Interesting demand:
Develop ways to reduce traffic demand and find ways to escape the growth-spiral.
