Develop a complete and unique system for comparison of energy efficiency for different kind of vehicles in order to provide a complete analysis of the most efficient vehicles.

Investigate further how blockchain could support and benefit road transport activities.

Analyze how to support vulnerable road users2 (i.e. people with disabilities and/or reduced mobility) regarding road transport.

Study and explore advanced driver assistance systems and how their uptake could help reducing road fatalities and eventually achieve zero fatalities in road transport sector.

Study how to mitigate noise pollution as the majority of people in Europe now residing in urban areas1 and noise pollution affects their quality of life.

Study and examine the use of alternative and cleaner fuels as well as green cars in order to enhance the environmental consciousness and mitigate negative externalities to the environment.

Improve and study safety and security issues (i.e. prevention of accidents, safety of personnel) and security (i.e. terrorism, border control/immigration etc.).

For example, International shipments require companies and customs officials to fill out a large number of different types of documents (most of them paper-based) to move goods from exporter to importer. This practice fails to provide real-time visibility that can cause setbacks in financial settlements.

Study the potential of blockchain technology which could provide a turnaround to different types of delays and inefficiencies and boost marine transport.

Study and analyze administrative burdens and bureaucracy. For example, the maritime equipment certification requirement is prescribed by certain regulatory organizations (RO’s) and pertinent stakeholders, who still have not achieved to arrive at a system of mutual recognition. The latter create significant costs and slows down business development and economic growth in Europe.

Emphasis on transversal integration of systems (i.e. technologies, infrastructures etc.) that increase readiness level (TRL) of the most promising technologies and create synergies among diverse activities (e.g. Oil & gas, MRE, deep/far sea exploitation, desalinization process, aquaculture etc.).
