The Role of TAG (Transport Advisory Group) and Engagement in Future
Transport Policy
Dr Delia DIMITRIUTAG member
Designing a Research Programme at EU level
Horizon 2020_Work Programme 2016-2017 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 2015

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

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 levelETPs aim:• be supported by both private and public funding. • mobilise stakeholders to deliver on agreed priorities
and share information across the EU.

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

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

TAG & ERTRAC similar objectives
Towards a 50% more efficient road transport system by 2030: ERTRAC’s Strategic Research Agenda Guiding objectives for 2030
15
Indicator Guiding objective
Decarbonization Energy 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
Reliability Reliability of transport schedules +50%*
Urban accessibility Preserve; Improve where possible
Safety Fatalities and severe injuries -60%*-70%*Cargo lost to theft and damage
* Versus 2010 baseline
ERTRAC’s Strategic Research Agenda
All major stakeholders and public bodies are represented
• Research providers
• Automotive suppliers
• Intelligent transport systems
• Road infrastructures
• Energy/ fuel supply
• Vehicle manufacturers
• EU and national bodies
• Service providers
• Cities and regions
• Users/ consumables
ERTRAC European Road Transport Research Advisory Council

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
