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.).

Support multi-disciplinary collaboration effort in an attempt to enhance latest developments in the maritime sector which are related to greener, more knowledge based and digital economy.

Enhance communication and collaboration between certain stakeholders.

Develop ways for public stakeholders and private companies to better know each other and their respective needs in terms of data sharing in order to be able to build common business models, in accordance with users’ needs for an improved shared mobility.

Map local assets and local needs for shared mobility in order to adapt the response to the real users’ needs.

Create the basis for Public-Private Partnerships and targeted investment in shared mobility modes by exploring opportunities and challenges for public transport related to technology-enable shared mobility services.

Study the accessibility and equity needs for each type of users and ensure their capacity to use tools for the information, schedule, booking, payments, especially for users facing barriers related to cost of technology use.

Define how to develop shared mobility standards in order for each shared mobility provider to speak the same language so to ease the use of shared mobility tools for users.

Analyze the impact of innovation technologies to relevant stakeholders and end users.

Support the integration of different transport systems using technological developments.

Develop legal and regulatory schemes and incentives for the migration to alternative transport systems and to the consideration of mobility as a service. Provide adequate and precise framework of rules and incentives in relation to innovative mobility systems.
