N2 - Europe faces the challenge of meeting growing demand for
transport with shrinking
public financial resources, while reducing environmental
impacts, cutting greenhouse
gas emissions, reducing dependency on imported
hydrocarbons and lowering accident
rates. The European Commission's transport strategy
responds to these challenges. It
recognises that innovation is vital in achieving these
aims but notes that the adoption
of innovative solutions is hampered by barriers due, in
part, to the fragmented nature
of Europe's transport system. This report presents the
final results of a study to
examine these barriers and to propose actions to overcome
them.The report examines five Focus Areas: connected
driving and automation of transport, and the use of
automated optimisation of traffic flows; transformation
of infrastructure to address connectivity, resilience,
new fuels and energy efficiency; smart mobility services
(including provision and use of data, and urban
mobility), freight and logistics; standardisation and
interoperability; and alternative fuels other than
electrification. Although technology development in the
five Focus Areas continues, the report finds that the
main barriers relate to the implementation and
exploitation of existing innovations. The proposed
actions address European-level policy; incentive schemes;
standardisation; transnational collaboration; the use of
data; funding for research, development and innovation;
and capacity building.
