  • Setting a Framework in Support of Strategic Transport Technologies in Europe
    Abstract: The European Commission has set ambitious goals for the future of the European transport system in its 2011 White Paper on Transport. The White Paper presents a Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area paving the way towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system. In order for these goals to be achieved the Commission has also decided to develop a Strategic Transport Technologies Plan (STTP) as the White Paper’s research and innovation pillar. The STTP started with a wide stakeholder consultation and resulted in 2012 in a Communication by the Commission. The Communication summarizes the results of a first stocktaking of research and innovation in the EU transport sector. It reviews the shortcomings of Europe’s transport innovation system and presents initial proposals on how to tackle them. The aim is to ensure a coherent approach across various funding sources for research and innovation in transport for the next financial programming period and beyond. This plan will outline the priority fields of greatest relevance to research and innovation, address the efficiency of the innovation chain and propose specific actions to overcome barriers to deployment. This paper summarizes the steps taken thus far for the definition of the STTP, including the mapping of the capacities for research and innovation of the European transport sector, the scientific assessment of the various transport technologies and the prioritization exercise which accompanied it.
