Transport 2050 IP/11/372 Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions (28/03/2011) For a competitive transport system; To increase mobility; To remove major barriers in key areas; To fuel growth and employment; To cut carbon emissions in transport by 60% by 2050.
Transport 2050 IP/11/372 Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions (28/03/2011) Key goals No more conventionally-fuelled cars in cities; A 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport; All of which will contribute to a 60% cut in transport emissions by the middle of the century.
Transport 2050 IP/11/372 A roadmap for a competitive transport sector that increases mobility and cuts emissions; Competitive transport systems are vital for Europe's ability to compete in the world, for economic growth, job creation and for peoples' everyday quality of life; Curbing mobility is not an option; To break the transport system's dependence on oil without sacrificing its efficiency and compromising mobility.

Smart Infrastructures: key research Seamless European transport system. • Monitoring of infrastructure operation and maintenance; • Degraded mode management to minimise delays and disruption; • Robotic methods for safe inspection, maintenance and construction while infrastructure is operated; • Intermodal Ticketing; • Freight Tracking; • Real time multimodal public information; • Information Transport System; • Geo-localisation based on Galileo.
Green Infrastructures: key research Sustainable European transport system. • Sustainable Life Cycle Analysis/Assessment (LCA) • Unobtrusive construction sites; • Unobtrusive maintenance / retrofit of infrastructive; • Adaptation to climate change; • Support of new energy-powered vehicles; • Increasing load capacity of existing infrastructures; • Increasing transport capacity; • Saving resources (land, materials, water, energy); • Enhanced management; strengthening and repair systems;
Cheap Infrastructures: key research Cost competitive European transport infrastructure. • New business models to secure infrastructure funding; • Collaborative business approaches to reduce multimodal transport cost; • Advanced risk management of construction projects; • New construction methods; • New maintenance technologies; • Increased standardisation.
Conclusions • Coordination and optimisation of research is necessary to pave the way of the Future Infrastructures Networks of Europe (reFINE); • Innovation must go through demonstration facilities or construction sites; • Scale one mock-ups are needed to validate results of research before implementation.
