Contents Introduction Methodology Transport research technologies Conclusions

Introduction (1/2) Europe’s competitiveness depends on its ability to drive innovation Innovation- an answer to tackle societal challenges: Increased transport demand Dependency on oil Congestion Ageing population Demand for ICT and satellite technologies New cutting edge technologies Infrastructure and resilience Security

Introduction (2/2) The aim of the research was to deliver a brief synopsis of the EU transport research landscape Covered FP7 & H2020 completed and ongoing projects Produce overall future recommendations

Methodology (1/2) Review of 354 EU FP7 & H2020 transport related projects FP7 from 2010 onwards & H2020 Used Cordis and TRIMIS databases Reviewed results in brief and final project reports

Methodology (2/2) Key terms: road transport, air transport/aviation/ aeronautics, rail transport, maritime/waterborne transport Cordis filters FP7-“programme FP7- transport” H2020 projects “transport”, “energy”, “environment”, “infra”, “industrial leadership”, “security” TRIMIS air, road, urban, rail, water and multimodal transport Crosscheck between databases and other EC synopsis publications
