Sustainable Pavements & Railways Initial Training Network (SUP&R ITN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"The design, construction, maintenance, use and end-of-life management of road pavements and railways is associated with a number of important impacts on the environment; namely the consequences of energy consumption, unsustainable use of materials/resources, waste generation and release of hazardous substances into the environment. It is estimated that over 80% of all these environmental impacts ...

Configurable and Adaptable Trucks and Trailers for Optimal Transport Efficiency (TRANSFORMERS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Today trucks are designed and optimised towards a limited variance set of usage and for maximum payload. Future trucks-trailers are easily adaptable for each freight, load and mission. And, in the operation phase, the vehicle combination automatically adjusts itself to the actual driving environment (i.e. traffic situation, topology, and payload). This option has large potential to contribute to t ...

Support action for Vehicle and Road Automation network (VRA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The improvement of sensors, power train control as well as communication, make possible the automation of vehicle driving. Vehicle prototypes are currently capable of driving automatically, in road and urban environment. The automation is provided by systems in the vehicle and/or deployed on the road infrastructure, so that the process is named Vehicle and Road Automation.Partial or full automatio ...

Life Cycle Engineering approach to develop a novel EU-harmonized sustainability certification system for cost-effective, safer and greener road infrastructures (LCE4ROADS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The EU Ecolabel identifies products and services that contribute to sustainability because they have demonstrated a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle. There are already more than 17,000 EU Ecolabelled products on the market, but there are no references for road products and infrastructuresThe concept of the LCE4ROADS project arises from the necessity of a new, green, holisti ...

"ROlling resistance, Skid resistance, ANd Noise Emission measurement standards for road surfaces" (ROSANNE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The main objective of this project is to advance the harmonization of measurement methods for skid resistance, noise emission and rolling resistance of road pavements and prepare for standardization. In this the project will follow the recommendations of key predecessor projects like TYROSAFE, HERMES, SILVIA and MIRIAM. The project aims at performing prenormative research to enable the creation o ...

BOOST - Cooperation in Urban Science, Technology and Policy (BOOST)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"Cities are increasingly seen as ""engines of regional development"" and the main competitive hubs within a global web of economic, knowledge and physical flows. Cities are fertile ground for science and technology, culture, entrepreneurship and creativity. However, cities are also places where problems are concentrated, such as the decoupling of economic growth and employment, social and spatial ...

City Alternative Transport System (CATS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The CATS project objective is the final development and experimentation of a new urban transport service based on a new generation vehicle. Its major innovation is the utilisation of a single type of vehicle for two different usages: individual use or collective transport. This new transport service is aimed at filling the gap between public mass transport and private individual vehicles. It is ba ...
