Intend Project D 2.1 Transport Projects & Future Technologies Synopses Handbook

INTEND Deliverable D 2.1 main is to provide a transport projects and future technologies synopses handbook. The overall aim is to gather, review and analyse relevant research documents from the European and international literature that has been produced through sponsored research projects, scientific publications, forward looking exercises, industry studies and strategic research agendas, with emphasis on transport. The aforementioned combination of research projects and pertinent literature has been reviewed with the purpose of identifying technologies that require advancing or future technologies that will be used by the transport sector within a time horizon of 2020- 2035 thus enabling the sector to meet future demand and needs within the future context. The transport modes that were covered include road, aviation, rail, and maritime while transport systems and infrastructure are treated horizontally across the four modes

Future technologies in the EU transport sector and beyond : an outlook of 2020–2035

The aim of this paper is to deliver a brief synopsis of the transport research landscape by conducting a review of the transport projects across the four modes of transport on European level (FP7, H2020). This synoptic review identifies dominant technology themes (i.e. small electric urban vehicle design, battery materials and design, cleaner conventional engines, Automated Driver Assistance System, cleaner and quitter aviation engines, developments of Computer Engineering tools, morphing aircrafts, cleaner multifuel maritime engines, new freight wagon design, satellite positioning for rail Train Control & Management System). Future recommendations and conclusions are also provided
