FP7 : The challenge
• Investment in Research is key to achieve the revised Lisbon Agenda
• FP7 aims to address part of that, but Member States and the private sector must equally play their part
• Europe lags particularly in investment in ICT Research

i2010 – Commission CommunicationRoad Transport Issues
A European Information Society for growth and employment
i2010 is a joint effort of the EC, Member States and economic actorsaiming to accelerate the take-up of knowledge society in Europe
It proposes three principal lines for action:
A single European information space Will improve vehicle and road safety, provide mobile access to new content
and introduce new advanced services.
Strengthening innovation and investment in ICT ResearchThe automotive sector will benefit from bigger investment in RTD
Achieving an inclusive European Information Society ICT offers tools to further improve safety, efficiency and sustainability of the European transport systems.
The i2010 communication launches a flagship initiative in the area of safe and clean transport, focusing on INTELLIGENT CAR.
19
i2010 - Intelligent Car Initiative
The objective is to improve the quality of the living environment by supporting ICT solutions for
safer, smarter and cleaner mobility of people and good.
SmarterIntelligent communicationand interaction with other
Vehicles and with the Transport infrastructure
to improve efficiency andsafety.
SaferActive ICT-based safety systems and devices
helping to prevent accidents and mitigate their impact.
CleanerImprove traffic management
through intelligent driver assistance systems
(including Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information
(RTTI) and multi-modality),thus contributing to reduce
polluting emissions.
Intelligent Car
… addressing environmental and safetyissues arising from increased road use
20
Intelligent Car Initiative: the Challenges
1. Congestion
• Costs amount to 50 billion €/ year • 10 % of the Road network is affected daily
by traffic jams
2. Energy Efficiency & Emissions
• Road transport consumed 83% of the energy consumed by the whole transport sector 85% of the total CO2 transport emissions
3. Safety
• still over 40.000 fatalities and 1.4 million accidents in the EU cost represent 2% of the EU GDP
• Human error is involved in almost 93% of accidents
21
Intelligent Car: Objectives
Objectives of the Intelligent Car Initiative
1. Coordinate and support the work of relevant stakeholders, citizens, Member States and the Industry
2. Support research and development in the area of smarter, cleaner and safer vehicles and facilitate the take-up and use of research results
3. Create awareness of ICT based solutions to stimulate user’s demand for these systems and create socio-economic acceptance
22
Intelligent Car: Structure
The i2010 Intelligent Car Initiative will build on the work of the eSafety initiative and follow a three – pillar approach:
(1) The eSafety Initiative and the
(2) RTD in Information and Communications Technologies
(3) Awareness raising Actions
RTD in ICTs
FP5, FP6, FP7
The eSafety
Forum
Awareness Raising Actions
Intelligent Car
Initiative
23
The Focus in the eSafety Initiative will
remain in Deployment:
– Pan-European Deployment of eCall by 2009
– Updated European Statement of Principles
ESoP (HMI) – Commission adoption, May’06
– Launch of the eSafety Communications
Platform, September’06
– Adoption of the EP Report on eCall, April 2006
– i2010 High Level Conference-Helsinki,
September’06
First Pillar: eSafety
24
• The Intelligent Car Initiative activities build upon the achievements and results of EU Framework Programmes on research and technological development.
• The long-term objectives of the Intelligent Car Initiative will be part of the ICT priority in FP7
• The research priorities of the Intelligent Car fully support the ERTRAC strategic research agenda
Second Pillar: The Research Programme
25
The awareness pillar of the Intelligent Car Initiative will promote, active information dissemination to a wide audience:
• To raise drivers and policy maker’s knowledge about the potential of intelligent vehicle systems
• To stimulate user’s demand and create socio-economic acceptance
• To facilitate the deployment of mature technologies and systems in the initial phase of market penetration
• To encourage stakeholders initiatives supporting i2010
Third Pillar: Awareness Actions
26
• Field Operational Test (FOT)
Examples: Pedestrian protection;
Driver hypo-vigilance monitoring and
warning; …
• Demos of IST results with significant impact on socio-economic cohesion and regional development
Example: 6th FP IST projects; demonstration more open and targeted to the citizen
• Awareness campaigns
Example: Support the production of short, well targeted TV series or documentaries (“Discovery Channel” or “National
Geographic”…) on ICT based systems
Of particular interest for the Structural Funds

The eSafety Initiative
The eSafety Initiative was launched in 2002 as a joint initiative of the European Commission, industry and other stakeholders.
It aims at accelerating the development, deployment and use of Intelligent Integrated Safety Systems that use Information and Communication Technologies (ITC) in intelligent solutions, in order to increase road safety and reduce the number of accidents on Europe's roads.

Synergies between 3 activities conducted in parallel• Intelligent Car Flagship
• R&D and Innovation, preparing future generation of Intelligent Car (second pillar)
• eSafety – Forum of industrial stakeholders

Road Fatalities in Europe …
Transport in EU25
Road Accidents (2004 data)
• 45.300 fatalities • 1.3 million accidents
involving injury• 2.0 million injuriesSource: DG TREN-Statistical Pocket Book 2004
Main Causes and driving errors: 95% of all road accidents involve some human error In 76% of the cases the human is solely to blame Misjudging, driving dynamics, weather (50%) Distraction (38%)
39% of Passengers vehicles and 26% of trucks do not activate brakes before a collision Some 40% more do not brake effectively
Underlying Causes: AlcoholInexperienceTiredness

The 1st eSafety Communication
“Information and Communications
Technologies for Safe and
Intelligent Vehicles”COM(2003)542 Final, 15.9.2003
3 priorities:
– eCall (Pan-European eCall)
– RTTI (Real-Time Traffic & Travel Information)
– HMI (Human-Machine Interaction)
31
The 2nd eSafety Communication
2nd Commission Communication on eSafety: Bringing eCall to Citizens COM(2005)431 Final 14.9.2005
• eCall: A key recommendation of the
1st eSafety Communication
• Significant progress towards the full-scale
roll-out of eCall
But: Roll-out can be delayed if the national and regional governments do not invest in the necessary infrastructure for eCall

What are the challenges?
33
Progress in ICT has created enormous opportunities for the design and management of urban transport systems, but also many challenges:
Speed of technology changes and uncertainty of life time
Where should I invest, and how long will it last?
Consumer products < > public investments
Solution determined by user needs, social perception
Why does the user accepts one and not the other?
What is he willing to pay?
What is the business case?
Fragmentation of markets results in low performance and high costs
The” invented here” syndrome is expensive!
Joining forces is cost effective
Challenges (1)
34
Focus on performance rather than technological solutions
Developments have to be objective driven
Technology helps in achieving the objectives
From exchange of Best Practices to common architectures
Use formal methods as a basic tool (i.e. FRAME)
Standards versus organisation driven specifications
Maintaining a high quality service is an enormous difficult tasks,
in an environment where objectives and priorities are changing
High commitment is necessary!
While effort not always visible – in most cases, only when things go wrong
While industry has large RTD departments at their disposal,
public authorities depend mainly on academic research and consultancy services
