DOCUMENTS FROM THE SETRIS PROJECT ON R&I AGENDA FOR ALL TRANSPORT MODES

This SETRIS Deliverable “D2.2 Defining the concept a "truly integrated transport system for logistics” is a working document developed by SETRIS partners and the advice of the Transport ETPs cross-modal permanent group of stakeholders and experts in long distance freight transport (annex 1). It aims to be an initial proposal for further consultation and consensus building among the ETPs stakeholders towards the final document endorsed by all transport ETPs.

THE MARITIME FUTURE: an Ocean of Opportunities for Europe

Summary of the SETRIS Project Outcomes and Results

This document aims at identifying the level of integration required as well as metrics to measure future implementation success using an agreed set of challenges (physical, operational, economical, and political) as benchmark.

SETRIS project supports a holistic update of research and innovation strategies, started by different EU projects, mainly Foster-Rail and Foster-Road. The scope of this deliverable is limited to the “urban” and “passengers” “transport modes”. Both private and public urban transport modes have been considered. This document provides an overview on the current status for urban passengers transport priorities, with regards to European challenges up to 2050.

This document aims to define a truly integrated long distance transport system. ACARE and ERTRAC roadmaps broadly tend to have a higher focus on passenger aspects while WATERBORNE and ALICE include more aspects related to freight. ERRAC’s roadmaps consider both passenger and freight. This document attempts to provide an understanding of the conditions required to achieve a truly integrated long distance passenger transport system. To do so, an overview of the status of the related roadmaps is briefly introduced and assessed, with particular emphasis on cross-modal aspects already taking place between ERTRAC, ERRAC, WATERBORNE and ACARE. This is then put into context with the aspirations of the transport White Paper (original and its midterm review) as well as those included in the EC’s transport advisory group (TAG), both of which include visions of what the European transport system should be and do.

This deliverable aims to explore the different SRIAs, dealing with urban transport, published in the last 5 years. The goal of this exercise was to better understand the general developments of the roadmaps, as well as to identify new scopes. The conclusions, considering the deliverable D1.5 “EC-funded research contribution to roadmapping of long distance transport”, may outline how the SRIAs reflect future transport scenarios and update their content, to bring common opportunities facing the new EU challenges. On the other hand, it may support the identification of the synergies between the various urban roadmaps and especially the way in which they are developed, including the EU tools.

This deliverable aims to explore advancements/changes in the past 5 years aimed at developing the different SRIAs related to long distance passenger transport. The focus is on collecting EU funded projects that contribute to the SRIA development. We conclude that for surface transport ETPs (ERRAC, ERTRAC, and WATERBORNE) very similar roadmapping activity is being carried out and there is a single CSA to support this roadmapping activity. By contrast the non-surface transport sector (ACARE) tends to be funded by CSA projects which specifically address thematic issues such as cost, time, safety, emissions, and alternative fuels.

This document provides a holistic overview of a truly integrated transport system as the vision to reach significant advance in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of freight transport and logistics, creating value and adding competitiveness to all manufacturing and retail sectors in Europe and supporting the achievement of societal challenges associated to freight transport.

This SETRIS Deliverable D2.4 Benchmark research and innovation activities (I) presents the results of an assessment of different European projects and initiatives in urban freight and how these cover the research challenges and topics set in the 2014 ERTRAC-ALICE Urban Freight research roadmap (implementation status). Based on the gaps identified in the benchmark exercise an implementation plan proposes new research challenges and topics for the 2018-2020 period within eight different areas.

This roadmap, complementary to current ALICE roadmaps will have as background the major innovation areas already identified and will outline how advancing in them will contribute to a real Physical Internet in 2050. Remaining research and innovation gaps will be identified with specific focus on business models, regulations and governance.

This SETRIS Deliverable “D2.1 Establishment of a cross-modal permanent group of stakeholders and experts in long distance freight transport” has been developed in the frame of SETRIS “Sub Task 2.3.1 Creation of a cross-modal permanent group of stakeholders and experts”. According to the DoA, this group: “will have representatives coming from the ETPs involved. Its purpose is to reach consensus on major research and innovation areas that need to be addressed” in the context of Long Distance Freight. In this report we include: - Background elements considered in the creation of this group. - Main duties and objectives of the group. - Membership, including the elements taken into account to nominate the members and composition of the cross-modal permanent group of stakeholders.

This SETRIS Deliverable D2.5 Benchmark research and innovation activities (II) is an update of D2.4 Benchmark research and innovation activities (I). This deliverable contains new recent projects and includes projects related to waterborne transport to the assessment of European initiatives in urban freight. Moreover, it explains how the research challenges and topics set in the 2014 ERTRAC-ALICE Urban Freight research roadmap are being implemented (implementation status). Deliverable 2.5 propose new actions plans and recommendations to stakeholders related to topics proposed in deliverable 2.4 for the period 2018-2020.

This document includes an analysis of the status of Implementation of ALICE Roadmaps delivered in 2014 as well as a specific implementation plan of the roadmaps including concrete topics to be implemented through R&I projects and initiatives.

Deliverable 3.5

The objective of this report is to present the results of the assessment of the performance of the Waterborne R&I programme developed by the Waterborne Technology Platform. The main impact of the assessment will be the updating of the Waterborne R&I programme. Together with the results of the MESA project, the assessment will serve as a basis to identify gaps in the current programme and ways to fill them.

This deliverable D3.8 aims at identifying the synergies between the relevant national and EU programmes – including Shift2Rail - which could support the implementation of ERRAC priorities. Emphasis is put on: - How these priorities are aligned with ERRAC priorities; - How they could support the implementation of ERRAC priorities in a coordinated manner with ERRAC and EU Institutions.

This deliverable D3.9 further complements the work done within FOSTER RAIL WP4 and develops the implementation plans for the ERRAC roadmaps (FOSTER RAIL D4.9, 2016).

This deliverable is part of the activities as described in SETRIS WP3 and especially Task 3.3. “ERRAC strategy for increasing innovation in the sector”, task dedicated to ERRAC. The general objective for ERRAC is to increase innovation within the sector requires also incentives to be aligned better between stakeholders.

The ACARE Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) provides a phased roadmap to achieve the goals set out in Flightpath 2050. However, as the global economic, transport and environmental baseline changes, this Research Agenda must be updated to reflect such developments.
