eUropean naturalistic Driving and Riding for Infrastructure & Vehicle safety and Environment (UDRIVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Road transport is indispensable for the exchange of goods and persons, but at the same time has severe negative consequences, among others related to road safety and environment. In order to meet EU targets, both the number of road crashes and vehicle emission levels need to be reduced substantially. For identifying the next generation of measures that will enable us to actually reach these target ...

Users, Safety, security and Energy In Transport Infrastructure (USE-IT)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The transport network across Europe faces challenges relating to carbon reduction targets, energy security, and depletion of natural resources, without sacrificing its efficiency and compromising mobility. In addition, the road and rail infrastructure in particular are ageing and require renewal. Simultaneously, advances in sensors, mobile communications, smart ticketing and ‘big data’ offer the p ...

BUSINESS MODELS FOR ENHANCING FUNDING AND ENABLING FINANCING OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN TRANSPORT (BENEFIT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

BENEFIT takes an innovative approach by analysing funding schemes within an inter-related system. Funding schemes are successful (or not) depending on the Business Model that generates them. The performance of the Business Model is affected by the implementation context and the transport mode. It is matched successfully (or not) by a financing scheme. Relations between actors are described by a go ...

PoroElastic Road SUrface: an innovation to Avoid Damages to the Environment (PERSUADE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Low-noise road surfaces are recognized as a cost-effective tool for traffic noise abatement. The best performance can be achieved by optimizing surface texture and porosity. That way, a bottom line of a 3dB lifetime average reduction with respect to ordinary asphalt has been reached. Any progress must resort to another noise-relevant characteristic i.e. elasticity by which the noise due to tyre v ...

Improving International Cooperation and R&D Road Infrastructure Strategy for Ukraine (INCRIS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Ukraine plays a strategic role in facilitating East-West transport connections, the country’s strategic road network. It however, cannot handle the increasing traffic load due to insufficient technical parameters. The overall objective of the INCRIS coordinating action is to ensure that the cooperation capacities of Ukraine’s leading road research centre, the Shulgin State Road Research Institute ...

DISmantling and RECycling Techniques for road MATerials - Sharing knowledge and practices (DIRECT_MAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The DIREC_MAT project objective is to share, at a European scale, knowledge and practices on recycling road and road-related waste in the aim of ensuring an environmentally-friendly and sustainable end-of-life for road infrastructure. Road material recycling processes have previously been studied in national and European research projects and have led to various levels of practical implementation ...
