The document “Innovation in energy management: Contribution of railways to sustainable mobility” analyses the role of innovation in energy management in infrastructure, rolling stock and operation, as well as future trends and applications.
Road transport is the most widely used means of travel in the EU. It is also essential to the economy in terms of its contribution to GDP, yet road transport is the leading cause of accidents, serious injuries from collisions and premature deaths in Europe.
Automated Vehicles are expected to transform the transport sector by contributing to reduce transport externalities and improving the mobility of people, which may depend on several influencing factors to their acceptance. Gender differences exist with regard to transport and mobility patterns, also
The rapid technological and regulatory evolution in the field of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or drones) may soon open the way for their deployment in the last mile delivery of products. This has the potential to decrease delivery costs, reduce transport externalities caused by road
This Science for Policy Brief presents main trends in research and innovation in urban mobility and logistics in Europe. It is based on the recent JRC Science for Policy Report "Research and Innovation in Urban Mobility and Logistics in Europe" and makes use of the TRIMIS database. The Brief
Transport and mobility is one of the core areas which can help to achieve the goals set by the European Green Deal and the European Union’s digital strategy. While the green transition in transport is driven by the need to drastically reduce emissions and increase energy independence, the digital
The European Green Deal and its target to achieve a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 together with the new EU Urban Mobility Framework put urban mobility and logistics in the spotlight of EU mobility policies. Research and innovation is paramount to respond to the
The Science for Policy Brief presents main trends in public transport research and innovation in Europe. It is based on the recent JRC Science for Policy Report Public transport research and innovation in Europe. The assessment is based on the Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful technology that will play a central role in mobility of the future. The breakthroughs achieved by AI systems in automated driving are contrasted by their higher complexity and opacity, potentially leading to safety and cybersecurity risks. The growing
Living Labs can support the co-creation of new mobility concepts to promote their public acceptance and subsequently a more sustainable and smarter mobility. This report presents the journey of implementing the Future Mobility Solutions Living Lab (FMS-Lab) at the European Commission’s Joint
