SATIE - Support Action for a Transport ICT European Large Scale Action
Overview
Background & policy context:
The SATIE support action will prepare the way for the successful launch of a European large-scale action ('Elsa') to accelerate the deployment of ICT for sustainable, safe and efficient mobility and transport, based on an iterative consultation process of public and private stakeholders.
Objectives:
The SATIE support action will prepare the way for the successful launch of a programme of European large-scale actions:
- Elaborate the concept, procedures and added value of a large-scale action
- Disseminate and raise the awareness with regard to the possibilities of a Transport-ICT Elsa with all stakeholders throughout Europe
- Map existing initiatives and possible future initiatives which would fit into an Elsa approach
Methodology:
The SATIE approach is based on establishing a partnership of national, regional and local key stakeholders from both the demand and supply sides to share in the implementation of ICT solutions for mobility and transport on a larger scale than hitherto seen in Europe.
SATIE will establish an Elsa partnership community bringing together various committed actors, who will be involved in an iterative process of consultation to identify the following elements of a potential Elsa:
- European, national, regional and local actions;
- Innovative procurement practices;
- European, national and regional funding instruments;
- European and national innovation platforms;
- R&D projects and other activities;
- The objectives of public and private stakeholders within the value network of ICT for mobility and transport.
The iterative process aims to specify an optimum Elsa model with regard to the added value for European innovation and Europe's economy. It will also promote the sustainability of the European transport system in view of its impact on the environment, safety and efficiency.
By linking innovative actions at European level, national and regional initiatives and the industry will benefit from cross fertilisation and be able to build on the experience of each other, thereby, short-cutting the innovation process to achieve a quicker introduction of proven new ITS technologies.
