Intelligent Transport for Ukraine
2016-06-16 | Unnamed Venue, Kiev, Ukraine
On 16th June, ITS Ukraine & The Pod will host a seminar/discussion to examine ways that Intelligent Transport Systems can be implemented in Ukraine and how Ukrainian IT companies can be part of the growing market for transport technology.
The event is free and starts at 19:00 at IDF Reform Labs, 10 Verhniy Val, Podil.
BACKGROUND
Rapid advances in computing and mobile communications has triggered a boom in the development of smart transport systems and a reduced the cost of owning smart/connected devices.
Online travel planners, in-car navigation systems, digital travel cards, and automatic road tolling systems are now common throughout Europe but almost non-existent in Ukraine.
Our speakers will discuss some of the opportunities and challenges this presents for Ukraine, Ukrainian travellers and Ukraine’s booming tech industry.

“How to procure innovative transport and mobility solutions” Webinar
2016-11-17 14:00 - 15:00
Objectives

To give knowledge on different approaches to innovation procurement procedures under the EU procurement directives
To share good practices on public procurement from Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the Netherlands);
To discuss challenges and opportunities to use public procurement to implement innovative solutions.

Who Should Attend

Public procurers such as national, regional and city administrators, road operators;
Providers and researchers of innovative transport and mobility solutions.

Description
The fast development of technologies creates many challenges for traditional public procurement, and in many cases the desired innovative solutions cannot be adopted by using a traditional procurement strategy. The EU public procurement directives, e.g. DIRECTIVE 2014/24/EU, provide the legal framework for the utilisation of innovation procurement approaches. This webinar aims to share knowledge and good practices on smart procurement in the transport sector and discuss challenges public procurers and industry face.

Speakers

Dr. Bahar Namaki Araghi, City of Copenhagen

The challenges of public procurers face

Lasse Stender, Northern Denmark Region

Approaches to innovation procurement

Fred Zijderhand, Rijkswaterstaat

Example of Public Procurement in the Rijkswaterstaat

Organisers
This webinar is organised by the SPICE project. SPICE is a Horizon 2020 supposed Coordination and Support Action (CSA) project, with a focus on sharing knowledge and experiences on innovation procurement in the transport sector.

Intelligent Transport Systems: a Tool or a Toy?
2016-11-22 - 2016-11-23 | University of Žilina, Budova AS, Univerzitná 1/8215, 010 26, Žilina, Slovakia (Slovak Republic)
This conference is co-organised between the COST Association and the University of Žilina, the latter as European Research Area (ERA) Chair (ERAdiate project) on International Transport Systems (ITS), and is held under the auspices of the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The aim of this event is to bring special attention to the role of research organisations in providing evidence to the policy makers for shaping the right ecosystem in ITS, and to the role of the industry, and in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in delivering innovative, sustainable and interoperable solutions. Particular attention will be given to two important pillars of future mobility: Autonomous driving and Mobility as a Service (MaaS).
This two-day conference will take place in the context of a new legal framework (Directive 2010/40/EU) that was adopted by the European Union on 07 July 2010, to accelerate the deployment of the ITS across Europe.
According to the European Commission’s White Paper on Transport, new forms of mobility have to be proposed for overcoming reliability, environmental safety and affordability issues towards sustainable solutions for the transport of people and goods. Until now, advancements in research and technology have significantly contributed to this recommendation by integrating multidisciplinary approaches, and having addressed the fragmentation of knowledge in ITS.
However, the deployment of widely used interoperable and seamless ITS solutions is still lagging behind the expectations, both in terms of their sustainability and competitiveness, as well as integrating their socioeconomic impact at regional, national and pan-European level.
The Programme and additional information will be published shortly.
Please note: Due to the limited seating , Registrations are on a first-come-first-served basis .
Free online Registration: http://forms.cost.eu/itstooltoy-registration
On 24 November, from 10:00 to 13:30, we will also host an Introduction to the COST Framework
This half-day event, where national research communities are informed by representatives of the COST Association about the COST Framework’s policies, activities and funding opportunities, with an emphasis on the Open Call for new COST Actions proposals, andCOST Action representatives from the specific countries showcase the outstanding results of their participation in COST Actions and share their experiences and best practices.
You are also invited to join this event should you be interested. Registration is included in the link above.

Description
Tampere is a growing city driven by innovation and high-tech industry. Tampere’s innovation has also been applied to the contract of a major transport project in the city. The Rantatunneli tunnel in Tampere is under construction using the ‘Alliance Model’ of public procurement. This means the traditional customer-service provider model has been eliminated, allowing involved parties to cooperate in the planning and implementing of the project. The alliance members are the City of Tampere, the Finnish Transport Agency, Lemminkäinen, A-Insinöörit, and Saanio & Riekkola. As a result of this cooperation, the alliance members have been able to reduce disruptions caused by the worksite while cutting costs and speeding up processes. This webinar invites Mr Mauri Mäkiaho, Deputy Director of the Rantatunneli project in Tampere, to present the Alliance Model in public procurement, in order to inspire public procurers to use the model for implementing other transport projects.
Speakers

Role of R&I and policy making to accelerate roll out in Europe;
What’s going on in the Member States;
Role of connectivity between vehicles, road infrastructure and other road users to enhance performance;
Progress of C-ITS deployment and how it supports automated driving throughout Europe’s main corridors;
Latest findings of European-funded projects;
The importance of international cooperation

BigDataEurope and the Societal Challenge on Transport
2017-09-14 10:00 - 16:30
BigDataEurope is a project within the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework programme aiming to build a knowledge- and innovation-based society and to strengthen the competitiveness of Europe’s economy. The project started in 2015 and will culminate at the end of 2017.
BigDataEurope has developed and provides an integrated stack of tools to manipulate, publish and use large-scale data resources. These tools are freely accessible to all, including those with minimal knowledge of the technologies involved, and have already been installed in customised data processing chains. The Big Data Integrator Platform is a key outcome of the Big Data Europe project. It is an ecosystem of specifications and reference implementations that are attractive to both current players and newcomers from all parts of the data value chain.
At the core of the BigDataEurope project are seven societal challenges or focus areas – health, food, energy, transport, climate, social sciences, and security. Transport is societal challenge 4 (SC4) and contributes to smarter, safer, and cleaner transport, using beyond-state-of-the-art data solutions and giving rise to a European leadership for new mobility services.
The workshop will demonstrate the value of the recently launched Platform by showcasing the pilot, and aim to collect feedback from stakeholders requiring transport solutions on how the platform can be extended to increase its value and facilitate further applications. The workshop will also feature a panel debate discussing the transformation that big data is bringing to the transport industry and presenting some of the current EU funded projects working with transport and big data.

The Draft Agenda is available on the website.
Registration is on Eventbrite here.
