The Challenge
Congestion Represents a loss of 1% GDP yearly 10% of road network daily congested about 12% of the overall EU CO2 emissions coming from the fuel consumed by passenger cars. While the EU reduced CO2 emissions by just under 5% (1990-2004), the CO2 emissions from road transport have increased by 26% Almost 40.000 deaths on the roads (EU272008) 1.7 million injured persons (EU27-2008) Human error is involved in 93% of the accidents

The Intelligent Car Initiative (2)

The three pillars A policy framework for actions in the areaof Safer, Cleaner and Smarter Vehicles, launched in 2006: 1. Coordinate and support the work of relevant stakeholders, citizens, Member States and the Industry through eSafety Forum 2. Support research and development in the area of smarter, cleaner and safer vehicles and facilitate the take-up and use of research results 3. Create awareness of ICT based solutions to stimulate users demand for these systems and create socioeconomic acceptance

The Intelligent Car Initiative (3)

The 1st pillar: the eSafety Forum

Established in 2003 is a joint platform involving all road safety stakeholders. Its main objective is to promote and monitor the implementation of the recommendations identified by the eSafety Working Groups and to support the development, deployment and use Intelligent vehicle safety systems.

CIP - inTime In-Time is a Pilot project that aims at drastic reductions in energy consumption in urban areas transport through the mobility behaviour of the single traveller, by providing multimodal Real-time Traffic and Travel Information. The In-Time system will be piloted in the cities of Brno (CZ), Bucharest (RO), Florence (IT), Munich (DE), Oslo (NO), and Vienna (AT). CIP - Freilot The FREILOT pilot targets reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in urban freight transport.The FREILOT consortium has developed a new approach to deal with this issue where four of the above mentioned factors will be addressed: - Traffic management (intersection control optimised for energy efficiency) - Vehicle (Acceleration and adaptive speed limiters) - Driver (Enhanced eco driving support) - Fleet management (Real-time loading/ delivery space booking)

FREILOT

TeleFOT TeleFOT aims to assess the impacts of functions provided by aftermarket and nomadic devices in vehicles and raise wide awareness of their traffic safety potential. These devices can provide different types of driver support functions and almost nothing is known about their safety and other impacts yet. The market penetration of portable navigators and smart phones is exploding today, making the timing for the project ideal. EuroFOT EuroFOT The goal of EuroFOT is to identify and coordinate an in-the-field testing of new Intelligent Vehicle Systems with the potential for improving the quality of European road traffic. EuroFOT will specify a test plan identifying proper driving scenarios, factors with maximum safety potential and expected results, FOT-Net The FOT-Net support action has been established by the European Commission to network Field Operational Tests (FOTs) organisers in one strategic networking platform in order to address common issues related to the practical organisation, set-up and follow-up of FOTs Murcia 18 June 2009 Page 22 results.

Deploying ITS in Europe (4)

Why ITS standards? ITS deployment is slow in Europe...
fast technical development => high number of mature applications, but not big enough market to support commercial deployment (with a few exceptions) benefits and return on investments highly depending on the scale of deployment Organisational issues: EU level, national level, regional level, local level actors; responsibilities not clearly defined Many actors have different interests and objectives (policy, commercial) To function ITS services and systems need to be interoperable, which would need co-operation between the stakeholders which is not always there Co-existence of commercial and public services not solved (e.g. Real-Time Traffic Information)

Lack of architecture and standards

EU Support to Standardisation

Setting of the priorities

Regular discussions at the eSafety Forum and its Working Groups ITS Standardisation Steering Group (ITS-SG)

Possible Funding of standardisation activities:

Part of the European Economic Recovery Plan

European Green Cars Initiative (1)

Adopted by the EC on 26 Nov 2008 and endorsed by the EU Council on 11-12 Dec 2008 To support innovation in

manufacturing, construction and in the automobile sector, which have recently seen demand plummet as a result of the crisis and which face significant challenges in the transition to the green economy

The R&D component of the European green cars initiative is one of 3 Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) proposed, along with: - European energy efficient buildings initiative - Factories of the future initiative

Murcia 18 June 2009 Page 29

European Green Cars Initiative (2)

Three main streams of actions

EIB loans in support of industrial innovation Budget: 4 billion (in addition to existing loans) Demand side measures & public procurement: e.g. reduction of circulation & registration taxes for low CO2 cars, scrapping schemes PPPs for research on greening road transport: Budget: 1 billion (500 million from EC matched by 500 million from industry and Member States)

INFSO Contribution: Fully Electric Vehicle

DG INFSOs focus it research in the European Green Car Initiative is on the development of technologies, components and systems for the ICT part of fully Electric Vehicle, including the necessary infrastructure. Funding possible already in Call 4; in a specific objective in Call 5 and in WP 2011-2013. FEV is additional objective existing activities will continue business as usual.
