Monitoring and safety of transport infrastructures

Opening:   30 April 2019 Deadline:   10 September 2019 17:00:00 Brussels time

Contribution from the EU around EUR 2 million.

Identification of best practices for monitoring the safety and maintenance of bridges and other relevant transport infrastructures, including outcomes of the most promising research projects which facilitate assessing and thus lowering significantly the risk of an unexpected collapse of bridges and other relevant transport infrastructures in the EU.

Significant improvement of the safety of bridges and other relevant transport infrastructures through better maintenance and control.

HAPTIC R&D CONSULTING is an engineering consulting company who already is active in this field through INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT with a precise measurement system where High Density Pavement LASER Scanner, Camera System, Corridor LiDAR Scanner, Positioning System and Software packages are combined to detect stress in the pavement.

Looking to be part of new consortium.

Network and traffic management for future mobility

Opening:   03 September 2019 Deadline:   09 January 2020 17:00:00 Brussels time

Contribution from the EU between EUR 4 to 5 million.

Actions are expected to address all of the following aspects:

• Accelerate the transition towards connected and automated mobility and the development of new services;
• Facilitate the integration of transport modes into a multimodal network for passengers and freight;
• Reduce capacity bottlenecks and, traffic jams, thereby saving time (for passengers and freight) and reducing pollutant emissions, leading also to positive health effects in Europe;
• Improve safety and security in all transport modes, in line with the Transport White Paper (e.g. Vision Zero);
• Reduce the cost of mobility for all (incl. industry, public authorities and citizens).

ATM Role in Intermodal Transport

Opening:   30 April 2019 Deadline:   10 September 2019 17:00:00 Brussels time

Proposals are expected to contribute to better integrate and connect ATM and air transportation with other modalities, to improve passenger experience during door-to-door journeys and in doing so,contribute to reaching the FlightPath2050 goals.

Proposal need to demonstrate their complementarity to activities launched by the European Commission and potentially other transport areas (i.e. rail, road, water) to ensure interoperability and delivery of harmonised services to realise cross-modal performance.

Coordination and support for an integrated freight transport and logistics system

Opening:   03 December 2019 Deadline:   21 April 2020 17:00:00 Brussels time

A contribution from the EU of up to EUR 1 million

The action will contribute to achieve the EU policy objectives for freight transport and logistics (e.g. zero city logistics emissions by 2030, zero logistics emissions by 2050, fully integrated multimodal transport system, efficient and sustainable logistic and freight operations) by providing a reasoned and detailed mapping and assessment of the EU-funded R&I project outcomes.

The action will also support technological and organisational innovation uptake and a more efficient use of the available research resources by engaging the wider community of stakeholders, establishing collaboration between industrial stakeholders and the society at large, encouraging exchanges of best practices at regional, national, European and global level, and linking to relevant sectors beyond freight transport and logistics.

Digitalisation of the transport system: data sharing

Opening:   03 December 2019 Deadline:   21 April 2020 17:00:00 Brussels time

A contribution from the EU of between EUR 2 and 3 million

Proposals should identify and build on the most relevant previously funded EU and national projects and reports such as Transforming Transport, BigDataEurope, NOESIS, LeMO, OPTIMUM, SELIS, AEOLIX, oneTRANSPORT, EfficienSea 2 etc. A structured method of building up on the achievements of the selected projects should be proposed. Proposals should include an effective mix of private and public actors both from the transport and transport research domains.
