• eSafety Initiative: a multi-stakeholder platform

• Intelligent Car Initiative

• ARTEMIS: a Technology Platform in Embedded Systems

Outline

• Demand for transport will continue to grow:– + 55% for goods – + 36% for people in the period 2000 - 2020

• Road accidents in Europe cause 40.000 fatalities and 170.000 injuries, at a estimated cost of 160 €B, or 2% of BNP

• European automotive industry produced some 17 million vehicles/year, with some 2 million people employed

• Automotive has the industrial sector with the highest level of RTD investment versus turnover

• ICT is the main driver for innovation• The share of electronic systems, some 16% today, will

further increase to about 25% by 2010

Trends

• Forum Plenary: Platform for consensus among stakeholders

• High-Level Meetings with Industry and Member States defining strategy

• Working Groups: Solution-oriented, reporting to the Forum

The eSafety Initiative

The eSafety Initiative was launched in 2002 as a joint initiative of the European Commission, industry and other stakeholders.

• accelerate 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.

• Established in 2003 (more than 150 members representing all road safety stakeholders

• Aims at removing the bottlenecks to market implementation through consensus

building among stakeholders and recommendations to the Member States and the EU

• There are eleven industry-led Working Groups that work on priority topics. It has produced a consistent number of valuable reports

• The Forum will ensure the links with parallel and complementary activities in the domain of

intelligent transport systems.

i2010 & the Intelligent Car Initiative

Smarterimprove efficiency and

safety.

Saferprevent and mitigate

the impact of accidents.

Cleanercontributing to reduce

polluting emissions

Intelligent Car

On June 1, 2005 the Commission adopted the initiative “i2010: European Information Society 2010 for growth and employment”

The Intelligent Car is one of the i2010 Flagship Initiatives.

The objective is to improve the quality of the living environment by supporting ICT solutions for safer, smarter and cleaner mobility of people and goods.

… addressing environmental and safetyissues arising from increased road use

Intelligent Car Initiative: 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

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

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

Awareness Raising Actions

Intelligent Car

Initiative

2nd Pillar: The Research Programme

FP7 ICT for Mobility Main action lines:

• Enhance performance of Active Safety Systems

• Further step in the development of truly Cooperative Systems (vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-road)

• Info-mobility services for persons and goods – a new step forward

• Field operational tests: Share objective data between key stakeholders: industry-operators-MS

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

Strong growth:

• Annual growth rate: 10 %

• A smart phone contains millions of lines of code

• 18 of top 25 EU companies rely on embedded systems; they spend € 50 bn annually in R&D

By 2010:

• Number of embedded components expected to grow to 16 billion worldwide

• Electronics account for up to 40% of a vehicle’s value

EU Competitiveness Council and EUREKA Ministers call

for closer cooperation and more synergy between FP

and EUREKA

– Instrumental role for ETPs, JTIs

Strategic Priority Embedded Systems within IST/FP6

– 58 M€ funding in Call 2 and 75 M€ in Call 5; also ES elsewhere in IST

National/regional programmes

– e.g. in NL: PROGRESS, ESI

ICT cluster projects within EUREKA

– ITEA (1999-2007): software-intensive systems; 3.2 B€ costs

– MEDEA+ (2001-2008): systems on silicon; 4.0 B€ costs

Aim and scope• To develop & drive a joint European strategy in

Embedded Systems

– R&D, educational and structural issues addressed

• To align fragmented R&D efforts along a common strategic agenda at European level

• To benchmark & link with relevant initiatives outside Europe

ARTEMIS: Towards a JTI

• Likely prerequisites for EU contribution– Concrete JTI objectives

– Adherence to common pan-European ARTEMIS SRA by all stakeholders

– Open, transparent and effective governance

– Earmarked (multi-annual) budgets in participating States and industrial commitment

– Harmonised/synchronised funding procedures between States

– Legal structure, e.g. EEIG of national Public Authorities, able to receive and manage funding from the Community

• Potential benefits– Creates the critical mass needed to pursue the common ARTEMIS

objectives

– Gives incentive for Member States to provide more and better aligned funding

– Exploits strengths of EUREKA and helps overcoming its weaknesses

– Avoids national duplication of international programmes / procedures
