This call focuses on technologies for Cooperative Systems as well as a European Wide Service Platform (EWSP) for services leveraging those cooperative systems.
Research proposals can be submitted in 2 areas, namely Cooperative Systems for low-carbon multi-modal mobility and the European Wide Service Platform (EWSP) for cooperative system enabled services. In addition, budget is reserved for Coordination and Support Actions.
Cooperative Systems for low-carbon multi-modal mobility is covering cooperative applications and services for energy efficiency and eco-friendly mobility based on the harmonised European ITS Communications Architecture and bidirectional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), road-to-vehicle (R2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication technologies.
European Wide Service Platform (EWSP) for cooperative system enabled services is aiming at providing to the drivers and other users a large variety of energy efficiency, mobility, comfort and safety related services.
The coordination and support actions address the- dissemination of results, user awareness campaigns, assessments of socio-economic impact and training.
Objective ICT-2011.6.7 Cooperative Systems for energy efficient and sustainable mobility
Target Outcome
a) Cooperative Systems for low-carbon multi-modal mobility covering cooperative applications and services for energy efficiency and eco-friendly mobility based on the harmonised European Communications Architecture 30 and bidirectional vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), road-to-vehicle (R2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication technologies:
– Design, development and testing of new cooperative and pro-active traffic and travel management and control strategies based on the availability of reliable real-time system-wide data, including handling of special events and recovery after incidents.
– Addressing the interaction between the driver, the vehicle and the infrastructure, user acceptance and deployment of cooperative energy efficiency services, taking into account the needs of Fully Electric Vehicles such as integration with charging networks. Liability, privacy, reliability, security and Human Machine Interaction should be addressed as well. The focus should be on road transport, as this sector presents the largest challenges. Projects could also address all transport modes according to the principle of co-modality, and include smart urban mobility.
b) European Wide Service Platform (EWSP) for cooperative system enabled services, aiming at providing to the drivers and other users a large variety of energy efficiency, mobility, comfort and safety related services:
– Intelligent combination of wireless communication technologies, development of network and transport communication protocols and security and control mechanisms, and support to their standardisation.
– Development of the necessary EWSP subsystems for service development, discovery, provision and administrative operations
– Development of interoperable innovative services for the EWSP, based on Future Internet technologies and in coordination with activities under the Future Internet PPP of Challenge 1.
c) Coordination and support actions
– Dissemination of results, user awareness campaigns, assessments of socio-economic impact and training.
– In accordance with the specific cooperation agreements with Japan and the USA: active exchange of information and results, and international standardisation and harmonisation.
The coordination and support actions should include relevant stakeholders in the domain.
Expected Impact
• Decarbonisation of transport. Significant improvements in energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of transport and mobility in Europe – Baseline European ITS communications architecture for cooperative systems developed under the EU funded specific support action COMeSafety, see http://www.comesafety.org/
• Improving the competitiveness of the European transport industry as a whole, and enabling them to continue to address global markets successfully. World leadership of Europe’s automotive industry in the area of Cooperative Systems.
• Opening new markets for mobility, safety, energy efficiency and comfort services in Europe. Ensuring market leadership by Europe’s industry in green products and services.
