MASIS II The crucial role played by the human element in maritime safety has been formally recognised in new international requirements concerning the management of safety on board ships and in shore offices and the training and qualification of seafarers ...
EuropeanPOLMIT One of the consequences of the continuing increase in road transport has been the growth of pollution, both atmospheric and ground based. Efforts have been made by policy makers, engineers, scientists and the public to reduce the environmental impa ...
EuropeanSEAGULL Long periods onboard vessels can be put to good use for the upgrading or refreshment of knowledge and skills, either within the person's present profession or as a preparation for future occupations. In particular, long distance learning/moni ...
EuropeanACRUDA Urban and suburban railway networks are facing the need for improvements in cruise speed and reduced headways to enhance track capacity. Signalling systems are now widely computerised, but standardisation and a transition to communications-based so ...
EuropeanASDSS For the last decade and a half, the container shipping industry has been characterised by poor financial returns. Conventional wisdom holds that capacity expansion and poor utilisation have been to blame. However, there is also evidence that most co ...
EuropeanASSEMBLING European integration has seen dramatic changes in mobility patterns to meet developments in economic activities. However, decision-makers lack information on current patterns of transport activity, and there is only limited knowledge of the imp ...
EuropeanASTRA The transport sector forms a complex system. Some of the major driving forces act over the long term, such as decisions on land-use and infrastructure or changes in lifestyle, while other determinants such as prices can affect demand, modal split an ...
EuropeanBERTRANC Despite the major role of waterborne transport in Europe and its achieved efficiency, the safety record of maritime operations over the past 15 years has not been acceptable. A number of incidents and accidents have brought into question the indu ...
EuropeanCAPRI The European Commission's policy papers 'Towards fair and efficient pricing in transport' and 'Fair payment for infrastructure use', have placed transport pricing high on the policy agenda. These papers advocated principles ...
EuropeanCASMET The existing common accident and incident analysis schemes in maritime operations do not pay adequate attention to human and organisational errors, and differ significantly between EU countries. Moreover, the gathering of facts by authorities is co ...
EuropeanDIATS Telematics and intelligent transport systems are perceived to have significant potential in enhancing the safety, efficiency and environmental performance of the Trans European Road Network. A number of technologies are available or close to market ...
EuropeanEUROSIL The development of the Trans-European Network (TEN-T) increases the opportunities for long distance multi-modal transport across Europe. However, while appraisal procedures for decisions on individual transport investments are well established, th ...
EuropeanFSEA The promotion of a safety culture based on a pro-active approach- as opposed to a reactive one- is considered essential to improve safety in maritime transport. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has followed that approach with the adoptio ...
EuropeanHANDIAMI The demographic trend towards ageing implies the necessity of addressing more comprehensively the needs of elderly and disabled people using passenger ships. In addition, disability issues relating to employment of seafarers are currently a widel ...
EuropeanHINT There are potentially dozens of new technologies, which will affect transport in the next two decades. Thus a structured approach is necessary, to permit coverage of important and relevant technologies across all modes and allow for more in-depth inv ...
EuropeanINSPIRE Trade in Europe is fundamental to economic development and intermodal transport is a key factor in facilitating this trade. It is therefore necessary that EU shipping keeps pace with market requirements for the distribution of goods and that short ...
EuropeanINTERNAT The guidelines for the development of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) require the development of methods for strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of the network and individual corridors (Decision 1692/96/EC). This is to ensure th ...
EuropeanMAESTRO Many innovations in the transport sector (such as technologies, transport concepts and policy measures) are tested and demonstrated at pilot scale prior to decision-making on their large-scale introduction. This reduces the investment risk and per ...
EuropeanMASSOP The European maritime industry is facing various difficulties. The reduction of European flagged tonnage has reduced career opportunities in the industry, and consequently recruitment has been difficult and insufficient to meet industry needs. Ther ...
EuropeanMASSTER Currently there is no harmonised approach on a European scale for maritime training. Simulator-based education of ship crews with respect to standardised ship manoeuvres and operational scenarios is often significantly different between EU Member ...
