The transport system in 2025

1. The transport system in 2025 double economic performance and half environmental impact

2. Trends in society, influencing the transport system towards 2025 • New demands for personal mobility • Increase of freight transport • Growth of CO2 emissions • New safety and security needs • Towards a more complex transport system • Other ideas about trends??? The transport system in 2025

3. Challenges to the transport system in 2025 • Increase transport system speed • Increase transport system flexibility • Meet the greening targets • Develop robustness and reliability • Management of transition • Other ideas about challenges??? The transport system in 2025

4. From trends via challenges to objectives 2025 Economy Transport trend 1 Society Transport challenges Transport trend 2 Transport trend 5 Transport research objectives Transport challenges Transport trend 4 Transport trend 3 Technology Environment The transport system in 2025

5. Objectives of the joint programming activities • Development of a sustainable system for mobility and transport: clean, reliable and safe • Strenghten the performance of the main mobility and transport hubs for passengers and freight • Other ideas about objectives? The transport system in 2025

6. “What” questions to be adressed What can and/or should be done in (densely) populated areas to increase sustainability of mobility and transport activities, like: • Integrated decision making by shippers and logistics service providers • Effectiveness and reliability of seamless intermodal transport services • Efficient use of new technologies that considerably reduce emissions • Robustness and resilience of networks • Other ideas about “What” questions? The transport system in 2025

7. “How” questions to be addressed How can this be arrived at intermodal hubs by instruments like: • Governance arrangements and spatial planning (including the interaction with decision making in global supply chains) • Long term network design and the development of transport services on the network • New technologies that are compatible with existing assets • Instruments to influence choices and behaviour • Other ideas about “how” questions? The transport system in 2025

8. Added value, benefits and impact • Trends, challenges and research questions are relevant at alle levels of public government • The EU FP is focussing on technology development and demonstration with a strong focus on modalities. There is an added value in taking a transport system approach, focussing on interconnection between transport modes at hubs • Existing ERA-NET cooperation is focussing on linking components of national programmes and removing barriers for transnational cooperation. This approach should be complemented by a political incentive for the development of a common vision, common perspectives and common roadmaps • Other ideas about added value, benefits and impact? The transport system in 2025

9. National initiatives and stakeholders • Netherlands: • Sustainable accessibility of the Randstad (minVenW; running to 2013) • Logistics and supply chains (minVenW and minEZ; preparation phase) • Other countries about national initiatives and stakeholders? The transport system in 2025

10. Indicative national contributions • Netherlands • 25 Meuro earmarked by minVenW and MinEZ for “Logistics and supply chains” • Other countries about national contributions? The transport system in 2025

11. First reactions from other countries - 1 European Platform on Transport research (EPTR) and pre-meeting to PC Transport, 30 june 2009: • ‘Joint programming’ is important if the whole of national programmes is compared to EU FP (Sweden and other countries) • Clarification is needed to position ‘joint programming’ in relation to EU FP and ERA-NET, both on content as well as on process and procedures (Germany, France and other countries) • ‘Joint programming’ is a starting point, but not yet clear enough as a concept for implementation (Sweden, Switserland, Spain and other countries indicated the need for close contact between national representatives in HLG and Transport programme committee) • Focus and prioritisation of research questions is needed (Austria, Denmark, Finland and other countries) The transport system in 2025

12. First reactions from other countries - 2 • Other reactions? • Other countries? The transport system in 2025

13. Next steps with other countries • Stockholm, 22 (pre-meeting) and 23 (informal meeting): EU FP Programme Committtee Transport (including areonautics) • The Hague, (26 and) 27 November 2009: ERA-NET Transport, High Level Group • Early December 2009: ERA-NET Transport, Plenary Group together with representatives from ERA-NET Road, AirTN and Martec • Other opportunities?
