Transport, Trade and Tourism: Mobility for a Connected World
2015-05-26 22:00 - 2015-05-29 21:59
Trade and tourism are important engines of economic growth. Both depend on effective transport systems. Yet transport faces huge challenges as a provider of human mobility and facilitator of goods exchange. The rise of Asia and Africa will drive demand for freight transport. Trade patterns will shift, creating uncertainty for supply chains. Growing numbers of tourists will put pressure on international and domestic transport networks around the world, highlighting the need for more sustainable and accessible services and infrastructure. How transport should respond and meet these challenges will be at the centre of debate at the International Transport Forum’s 2015 Summit. Please mark 27-29 May in your diary!

The continuing requirement for better urban transport systems and the need for a healthier environment has added to the increasing success of this annual meeting which attracts international delegates from many different countries. Innovative systems, new approaches and original ideas need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they can be implemented in practice, which highlights the importance of meetings such as this. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to improve safety, security and efficiency. The Meeting also addresses the need to solve important pollution problems associated with urban transport in order to achieve a healthier environment.

Workshop for information-gathering on road safety
2015-06-02 22:00 - 2015-06-03 21:59
The Commission’s “Policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020” outlines priorities for the European Commission road safety work during this decade. Among the objectives is the increased understanding of crashes and risks. In follow-up to these Policy orientations, the Commission has contracted a study to collect more detailed information about the specific risks linked to distracted and inattentive road users.
A workshop will be organised on 3 June 2015, in order to discuss the preliminary study findings with a group of selected experts and to gather additional inputs and comments for the study.
At the workshop, the study consortium will present their preliminary findings regarding main risks and possible countermeasures to road user distractions. The workshop participants will be invited to comment on these conclusions and to discuss additional aspects to be taken into consideration. The workshop participants will be asked to share their specific experiences and knowledge regarding potential benefits of the proposed countermeasures and potential barriers to their deployment and implementation.
As part of the workshop attendees will participate in an interactive game where they will provide input for deployment scenarios of selected interventions. The game focuses on stakeholder roles and organizational aspects. The game setting provides an efficient and enjoyable way for participants to express their expectations towards other stakeholders, and to share their insights and stakeholder interests with each other and with the project team. The expectations will then be presented and discussed.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a hot issue in Europe among transport policy makers, manufacturers and users. In Norway generous incentives have created the largest market for electric cars in the world, with a market share of 12,5 percent of new vehicle sales in 2014 – and rapidly increasing i 2015. This electromobility conference will present the status for electric vehicles in Norway and Europe, policy and incentives – and discuss the road ahead.
We present results from the EU research project COMPETT (Competitive Electric Town Transport). Some important research questions: How can EVS come into use to a greater degree? What are the most likely niches for EVs? What kind of EVs can most easily become alternatives to internal combustion engine vehicles?
