The European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) established the exploratory research project MITICA (Monitoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicles) to investigate the opportunity to use novel methods for infrastructure motoring, aiming at the efficient maintenance of
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.
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
A new report from the Joint research Centre (JRC) presents the first independent assessment of data on GHG emissions arising from the maritime sectors up to 2019 and a detailed review of the available literature on the LCA of the maritime sector up to mid-2020, the first meta-study of this type
The Commission today announced the 100 EU cities that will participate in the EU Mission for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, the so-called Cities Mission. The 100 cities come from all 27 Member States, with 12 additional cities coming from countries associated or with the potential of
On 28 March the European Commission published preliminary figures on road fatalities for 2021. An estimated 19 800 people were killed in road crashes last year. This was an increase of 1 000 deaths (+5%) on 2020, but still represents almost 3 000 (-13%) fewer fatalities compared to the pre-pandemic
The Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA) roadmap on low-emission alternative energy for transport was updated in 2020. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of research and innovation in low-emission alternative energy for transport in selected European Union (EU)
Smart mobility systems and services and transport electrification have the potential to contribute to transport decarbonisation. Policy and innovation efforts have to focus on integrated transport strategies as part of wider smart and sustainable city strategies. They should take into consideration
Inspired by technological developments on connected mobility, this project aims to contribute to the EU priority “A Europe fit for the digital age” by exploring synergies between connected vehicles and smart infrastructure components for the fast and mobile assessment of the existing bridge stock.
This report provides an overview of relevant European Research and Innovation (R&I) projects dealing with waterborne transport decarbonisation, based on the European Commission’s Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS). The report analyses various measures put in
