The Role of Cities in the Smart Mobility Economy
2019-06-14 | Paris campus, Paris, France
ERTICO is a proud supporter of the global debate on “The Role of Cities in the Smart Mobility Economy”, organised by Durham University and taking place on Friday 14 June in Paris.

By 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in cities, up from about 50 percent today. Over the same period, more than two billion people are likely to enter the middle class, with the majority of them living in cities in emerging markets. The number of megacities with more than ten million people will continue to grow. Many people entering the global middle class will want to buy cars: automobile sales are expected to increase from about 70 million a year in 2010 to 125 million by 2025, with more than half forecasted to be bought in cities. Some automotive analysts have gone as far as predicting that on the existing trajectory, today’s 1.2 billion strong global car fleet could double by 2030.

The existing urban infrastructure cannot support such an increase in vehicles on the road. Congestion is already close to unbearable in many cities and can cost as much as 2 to 4 percent of national GDP, by measures such as lost time, wasted fuel, and increased cost of doing business. Between 2013 and 2030, it is estimated that traffic congestion may cost the British economy as much as £307 billion. Transport creates emissions of greenhouse gases; smog presents serious public-health concerns. The World Health Organization estimated in 2014 that seven million premature deaths are attributable to air pollution, and a significant share is the result of urban transit.

Solving the mobility challenge will require bold, coordinated actions from the private and public sectors for gaining public acceptance of emerging technological solutions and creating new regulatory frameworks across Europe and beyond. Technological advances and commercialization, crowd-funding, intelligent policies, and business-model innovation will be needed to realize productivity improvements while creating more sustainable innovative environments in our cities and metropolitan areas.

The future of road transport
2019-06-21 11:00 - 14:00 | CDMA Atrium, Brussels, Belgium
Launch event of JRC report “The future of road transport – Implications of automated, connected, low-carbon and shared mobility” A perfect storm of new technologies and new business models is transforming not only our vehicles, but everything about how we get around, and how we live our lives. The JRC report “The future of road transport – Implications of automated, connected, lowcarbon and shared mobility” looks at some main enablers of the transformation of road transport, such as data governance, infrastructures, communication technologies and cybersecurity, and legislation. It discusses the potential impacts on the economy, employment and skills, energy use and emissions, the sustainability of raw materials, democracy, privacy and social fairness, as well as on the urban context. It shows how the massive changes on the horizon represent an opportunity to move towards a transport system that is more efficient, safer, less polluting and more accessible to larger parts of society than the current one centred on car ownership. However, new transport technologies, on their own, won’t spontaneously make our lives better without upgrading our transport systems and policies to the 21st century. The improvement of governance and the development of innovative mobility solutions will be crucial to ensure that the future of transport is cleaner and more equitable than its car-centred present.

optiTruck conference
2019-07-02 | ERTICO – ITS Europe 326 Avenue Louise 1050 Brussels, 326 Avenue Louise 1050, Brussels, Belgium
As the optiTruck project approaches its conclusion in August of this year, this conference will present preliminary results of three years of work by the consortium partners through technical presentations and interactive sessions. Register now and join us in Brussels on 2nd July to learn and discuss fuel efficiency for road haulage.
The automotive industry has made a substantial effort in recent years to develop powertrain technologies to improve the fuel efficiency of Heavy-Duty Vehicles. However, due to increasing road freight traffic, projections indicate that the energy use and CO2 emissions of these vehicles are expected to remain stable at the current level over the long term unless policy action is taken. This outcome is clearly incompatible with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport by around 60% below 1990 levels by 2050.
To tackle this issue, the optiTruck project – optimal fuel consumption with Predictive PowerTrain control and calibration for Intelligent Truck – brings together the most advanced technologies from predictive powertrain control and intelligent transport systems in order to achieve a global optimum for consumption of fuel and of other energy sources and consumables, while achieving Euro VI emission standards for heavy duty trucks (40t category). optiTruck brings together 11 partners from 7 European countries who focused on the creation of the global optimiser consisting of a set of dynamic, intelligent control and predictive components designed for effective powertrain management, utilising the environment data related to the transport mission, road topography, weather and road conditions and surrounding vehicles.

Smart Mobility: an opportunity for growth" conference
2019-07-11 | Rome, Italy
Enter a massive dose of technology into the passenger and freight mobility system in Italy to achieve those goals already reached in other countries with smart mobility, such as a 20% reduction in travel time and a 10% increase in infrastructure capacity . This is the objective of the proposals that TTS Italia will present in Rome on July 11th at the “Smart Mobility: an opportunity for growth” conference, addressing the Government and institutions, also in view of the next budget law, and the local administrations committed to drawing up the SUMPs.
TTS Italia will present two documents to guide the choices of institutions and local authorities and direct their priorities.
Italy is a country that moves by road. 91.19% of total movements (goods and people) take place on the road with obvious negative externalities in terms of congestion, environmental pollution and safety. To this it should be added that the demand for road transport presents significant territorial imbalances, as traffic flows are essentially concentrated on some critical lines and nodes around the main metropolitan and industrial areas of the country. On the security front, the absolute values of road accidents, even if lower in comparison with previous years (with the exception of the number of deaths that have returned to growth compared to the previous year), remain very high, especially in urban areas where there is about 75% of accidents, with extremely worrying social and economic impacts.
Smart management of mobility means significantly affecting critical issues. Experiences started in other European countries and in the United States have shown that the application of ITS leads to a reduction in travel time of 20%, to an increase in network capacity of 5-10%, to a decrease accidents of 10-15%, congestion of 15%, polluting emissions of 10% and energy consumption of 12%. These are benefits that can be obtained with relatively modest investments and, in any case, much lower percentages than those necessary for the construction of new infrastructures. In particular, according to European Commission data, every 1 euro invested in ITS cooperative services (C-ITS) yields 3 euros in terms of return in the period 2018-2030.
This is why TTS Italia is convinced that investing in smart mobility is a growth opportunity for Italy: a country that moves in a more intelligent and sustainable way produces development and progress.
The document “TTS Italia proposals for Smart Mobility” which will be presented and discussed in the first part of the morning of 11 July therefore indicates the priorities on which to intervene to restore momentum to the mobility system of people and goods, with the goal of introducing and expanding the use of intelligent transport technologies and systems.

The day focusses on the policy, implementation and funding of transport technology solutions, rather than the technology itself. Mr Waters will be concentrating on the multiple ITS solutions implemented in the West Midlands, and how they made them happen. Participants will also hear from Lee Rowbotham, Senior Stakeholder Manager at Transport Focus, about how to put the travelling public at the centre of all policy decisions.
After last year’s success there will be another Oxford-Style debate this year on the subject of Mobility as a Service. The motion is: “This house believes that we are in the last years of private vehicle ownership and shared mobility is the only sustainable future for transport” and will be supported by Dr Alastair McInroy, Senior Programme Manager, Technology Scotland and James Taylor, Managing Director, ShareNow while Andy Graham, Owner White Willow Consulting and Chair, ITS (UK) Connected Vehicles Forum and Catherine Bowen, Senior Policy Advisor at BVRLA will be opposing it.
There will also be presentations about a variety of ITS subjects such as safety, environment, inclusive mobility, public outreach, transport planning and ITS, collaboration and international co-operation. There will also be an interactive session about budget priorities and presentations from the ITS (UK) Young Professional essay competition winners.

Emission-free mobility: how will Europe reach its targets?
2019-11-06 17:00 - 20:00 | BMW Brand Store, Boulevard de Waterloo 23-24, 1000 Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium
ERTICO Partner BMW will be supporting and hosting the event “Emission-free mobility: how will Europe reach its targets?”, together with EURACTIV.
The Forum aims at understanding what action is required to achieve a carbon-neutral mobility sector and to reach the EU’s 2030 and 2050 targets. Is there a single solution or do we need to look at a mix of solutions such as: deployment of low-emission alternative energy for transport; electrification of transport; hybrid vehicles; battery technology; new lightweight materials; digital and connected vehicles technologies; interoperable infrastructure; data analysis?
Decarbonising transport is a core theme of the EU 2020 strategy. The long-term objective of the European Union on CO2 emissions is an overall reduction of 80-95% by 2050.
The leading position of the EU transport sector in the world is not cast in stone. A long-term strategy is needed to fully meet the energy demand of the transport sector from alternative and sustainable sources by 2050. This is the objective of the EU’s Clean Transport Systems (CTS) initiative.
Mobility systems in general and transportation in particular are undergoing profound transformations. They are expected to evolve more in the next 10 years than they have in the past 50. The EU faces a combination of challenges. Transport will fuel the modernisation of the economy and is a key source of European employment, but it also tops the ranking of polluters. The EU can show that modernising the economy and addressing climate change go hand in hand.
Some stakeholders argue it should start with incentivising the low-emission transition in the transport sector. A successful sustainable mobility strategy requires a systemic approach which acts at the intersection between technology, infrastructure financing, multi-modal mobility, and public-private partnerships. This implies coherence between mutually reinforcing policies such as climate, energy, transport, circular economy, industrial competitiveness, and research and innovation.
Speakers include:
Gwenole Cozigou, Director, Industrial Transformation and Advanced Value Chains, DG GROW
Alexandre Paquot, Head of Unit Road Transport, DG CLIMA
Jens Gieseke MEP, TRAN Member, European People’s Party
Andreas Klugescheid, Head of Steering Government and External Affairs, BMW Group
Carlos Calvo Ambel, Director, Trends and Analysis, Transport&Environment
Maxime Flament, Chief Technology Officer, 5G Automotive Association
