Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.1.i Research activities having an impact in the short and medium term Abstract: Prime movers, powerplants and energy sources in a sustainable transport system must be clean and efficient. However, due to the intrinsic complexity of the system, the change from present-day situation to a new one cannot be very fast. Therefore, the new and alternative motor fuels and powerplant concepts need to be integrated into the existing infrastructure and transport system, in particular to create clean urban transport, because in cities, the worst air quality and highest exposure rates are usually encountered. Assessments based on real-life performance are extremely important, because only that way we can make sure, that the new and emerging options and technologies are really beneficial. The scientific research that is proposed here, includes both the system level analysis, as well as experimental work to determine the actual impact of the various alternative fuels and energies available. The past involvement of the group in the promotion of alternate fuelled concepts makes a valid contribution to this effort.

This EoI is not a standalone proposition, but the research group strongly interlinks actions to other partners that have submitted e.g. EoI for EST by INRETS. Additional document:

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive. Abstract: The benefits of composite materials in terms of lightweighting, life-cycle costing and crashworthiness have been well demonstrated by high technology sectors such as aerospace, motorsport and defence. However, in mainstream surface transport applications, their use is generally restricted to individual components rather than primary structures. Having developed advanced material concepts and processing technologies for composite transportation structures in two previous projects (HYCOTRANS and HYCOPROD), COMTOVS seeks to bring this body of work to a logical conclusion by providing the enabling technologies for total vehicle solutions fabricated from composite materials. The vision is to develop sustainable all-composite vehicle concepts that truly realise the potential of these materials to the benefit of Europe's transport systems.

This Integrated Project (IP) will examine the means to maintain and enhance economic growth, but with less transport. There are strong efficiency and environmental arguments for breaking the close relationship between transport growth and economic growth. We should be seeking to reduce the transport intensity of activities whilst at the same time maintaining economic growth – this is the decoupling argument which is now central to both EU Transport Policy and the EU Sustainable Development Strategy. This IP is designed to carry out research to generate the new knowledge required to implement policy in this key area, and as such it will set the agenda and increase the competitiveness of the EU.

Applicable Instrument: Integrated Project Sub-Thematic Priority most relevant to your topic: 1.1.6.2.i Developing environmentally friendly transport systems and means of transport. Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: Abstract: Reduction of CO2 emissions associated to the use of cars is one of the short term targets in the field of surface transport systems. Climate in southern European countries is such that air conditioning is a real need for car users. In fact, car makers include this feature in their models not as an option but as standard equipment. However, current air conditioning sys-tems, based on mechanical compression, use a significant amount of car power and, accord-ingly, increase substantially fuel consumption; therefore leading to higher CO2 emissions. Nowadays, absorption based cycles, that demand less power consumption than mechanical compression cycles, are so big that they cannot be used for car air conditioning. However, current developments in MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology allow for the possibility of developing up a miniaturised absorption system prototype (which is the object of this proposal) that may prove to be as efficient as standard systems while contrib-uting much less to CO2 emissions.

Abstract: Under the Fifth Framework thematic network "The Future Use of Composites in Transport (COMPOSIT)", research clusters are being developed around a number of critical topics relating to the use of composite materials in transport. However, whilst COMPOSIT will identify the areas of current interest, the future research priorities and the appropriate centres of excellence for each topic (i.e. the so-called clusters), it has no remit to actually implement the necessary actions to address the key deficiences. ENACTRAN proposes to build on the foundations of COMPOSIT by utilising directly the research clusters to enable the widespread adoption of composites in transport. In doing so, this will address the requirement for lighter, safer, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly vehicles within Europe.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive. Abstract: Freight transport is a significant and growing source of environmental damage. The share of air pollution due to trucks is increasing. Eliminating inefficiencies in the freight transport system improves fuel efficiency, vehicle utilisation, and transport (routing) and logistic efficiency. Additionally, there is potential for road based freight transport to freight carried by non-road modes. This project would design, develop, and implement a methodology for carrying out environmental scans of the logistic chains of shipping and transport organisations and identify ways of reducing total kilometres, road kilometres, and/or fuel use. The methodology would be applied to the largest shippers and transport organisations in the Accession countries. Based on experience in the Netherlands, the results in terms of reduced CO2 emissions could be substantial. Additional document:

Abstract: Waterborne transport has the potential to reliably transport increased volumes of goods and passengers to help alleviate the increasing congestion that is becoming a problem with land and air transport. Shipping is an activity that cannot be regulated in full from a national perspective, but must be coordinated at a higher level. Since ships are often designed and constructed by individual shipyards and ship owners, and are usually built in very small numbers per order, the resources are not usually available to build up the knowledge base that is required to find solutions for reducing environmental impacts at reasonable costs. It is important to increase the level of and access to knowledge, designtools and methods that clearly can demonstrate how improved environmental performance can be effectively achieved.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: Abstract: Besides the known advantages of the inland waterway transport system (e.g. energy-efficient, quiet, environmental friendly and very safe) there is still the demand to increase its cost-effectiveness and make better use of the transport capacity of the existing waterways. A possible solution is the introduction of a long flexible barge train, which is able to use the waterways more effectively and in addition requiring less personnel. Excellent manoeuvrability can be achieved by the installation of propulsion systems on each barge, so that the predescribed path can be followed exactly. A special detecting, positioning and steering system allows the train to be run automatically only with human supervision featuring a maximum degree of safety. Additional document:

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive. Abstract: The consequent splitting into more and occasionally changing recyclable fractions that need to be collected and transported separately marks a significant contribution to traffic congestion and growing CO2 emissions during the last few years. Simultaneously, many technical and logistical improvements became available which can optimise the waste collection process and reduce collection traffic and costs. High costs to avail of these improvements prevent especially small and medium sized enterprises (SME) to adopt these new technologies offered. The objective of the project is to provide SME's working in the field of municipal solid waste collection and transport with an innovative and low-cost software tool which will be developed on the basis of representative logistic standards and allows them to plan and optimise their collection tours with a minimum of personnel effort and thus helps reducing their collection costs and CO2 emissions.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive. Abstract: There are some well known and quite disturbing trends in transport e.g. its continuing growth, the dominance of road transport, near full dependability on oil, urban congestion, CO2, noise and safety. Continued economic growth and accession of CEEC's will acerbate problems. A new strategy towards integrating transport in sustainable development is needed. Sustainability is an inherently normative concept. It is also difficult to assess and measure. Actions and measures in components of the transport system impact on other components of the same system and on other systems. An integrated framework to assess measures and policies at all levels and across societal systems is required. This proposal is aimed at advancing our knowledge (tools, methods, data, solutions) via scientific research, collecting information about experiences and experiments of policy makers, communities, governments, businesses and disseminating this information and knowledge.

Abstract: There is currently a growing shortage of qualified professionals in the transportation sector, in particular railways. If the new challenges coming from the ongoing liberalisation of the transportation sector in Europe and also the implementation of the European directives on Transport are to be faced successfully, it is important to ensure that adequate training is provided at a European level. Nowadays transportation based curriculum in Europe are very scarce and scattered over various disciplines. To address this gap it is intended to create a Network of Excellence in order a) first to establish a map of current courses on transportation related topics provided by Higher Education institutions in Europe, matched against industry needs and b) to look at the possibility of creating joined Education programs with students/teachers exchanges, viewing towards a possible “European Transport Engineer” diploma.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.3.ii Knowledge-based Multifunctional Materials 1.1.4.i Aeronautics 1.1.3.iii New Production Processes and Devices Abstract: Recent scientific and technological progress in the research and development of new functional materials has lead to possibilities of using these materials in Noise Reduction and Sound Quality Control utilising Active Noise Control (ANC) principles. ANC based on new functional materials and material structures combined with passive sound packages for the vibration and noise control in cabins of cars and utility vehicles offers huge possibilities to control and fine tune the acoustical environment of the vehicles. Modelling, simulation and optimisation methods are essential parts of the development of the electrical, electromechanical and acoustical properties of these materials and material structures and their applications. Control system strategies and controller technologies for the smart sound package structures are not yet well defined and must also be addressed. The main objective of the proposed Integrated Project ”Noise Reduction and Sound Quality Control Applying Smart Material Structures (SMARTSOUND)” is the realization of intelligent, functional material and material structure systems to a stage, where they can be used as components of vehicle sound packages for one-ofAdditional document: Not available

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.1.i Research activities having an impact in the short and medium term Abstract: A special cleaning technology is to be transferred and scaled up, to clean hulls, without destroying the plastic hull or the painting of the hulls. Using hard brushes means usually to scratch sensitive Epoxi-hulls or –paintings and damage the ship’ hull. If the brushes are too soft, persistent soil, like algae, are not removed. By this cleaning technique the hull can remain in the water, while it is cleaned. So time consuming and expensive docking preparatory work can be dropped. The planed system consists of a flexible ring, which will be pulled through below the ship’s hull and the ground. The distance between the hull und the hull an the system may vary between 0 and 10 cm. By the surrounding water the mainly organic soil will be washed away. This system will be able to reduce the friction between hull and water, so the energy consumption of the vessels will be reduced. All the more even parts of high velocity (e. g. near the propeller or at the bow nose) of big vessels can be cleaned separately. For pleasure crafts the problem of the underwater anti-fouling has not been solved yet. By this system a ship can be cleaned just by sailing over the system (e. g. twice a year) and no Additional document: int_26596.doc

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.4.i Aeronautics Abstract: In recent environmental surveys, complaints concerning noise as a pollutant have risen consistently throughout the years. In urban cities, the main source of environmental noise comes from surface transport. In FP5 and before, projects were set up to deal with specific areas of transport noise. While significant progresses have been made within specific areas, the conversion of the results into useful societal benefits remains limited due to the fragmentation of these efforts. The proposed Integrated Project STRANSC will allow all the major issues concerning surface transport noise to be considered together as a whole, so that this societal problem can be dealt with in its proper social context and interacting relationships can be accounted for. STRANSC aims to reduce significantly the societal impact and to promote sustainable management of surface transport noise in urban areas.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.1.ii Research activities having an impact in the medium and longer term Abstract: The aim of this proposal is to establish Europe as a dominant player in the development of clean and high efficiency propulsion systems, based on kinds of alternative and renewable fuels, and integration of required components. The objective of this project is a series of Ultra High Performance Electric Drives with a performance of up to 100 kW for the use in road traffic applications. It is expected to be a device consisting of a motor and a converter, together with a differential or a transmission gear. An enhanced competitiveness of European industry in this sector can be achieved through such a development. The project will achieve its targets through an open research process including both main approaches towards increased power density (speed vs. temperature), integration of highly experienced actors in the field of related research as well as maintaining a constant feedback-loop with industry users.

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.3 Nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials and new production processes and devices Abstract: The aim of the research project ULMAG (Ultralight Magnesium Wheels for Cars) is to reduce the energy consumption by weight reduction of cars. The biggest potential of weight reduction is given by using Mg alloys instead of Al (reduction 30%) or steel (reduction more than 50%). The biggest potential for the weight reduction is the house of a car and the wheels. Five wheels of magnesium alloys instead of Al alloys have a weight saving potential of 15 kg. China is the biggest producer of magnesium and magnesium alloys with a capacity of more than 200 000 tons per annum. The consumption of Mg in China is poor. The production of Mg parts for special cars helps to use Mg alloys in China, to win experience by developing and producing parts (designing), to develop and improve new technologies (casting processes).

Other relevant Sub-Thematic Priorities: 1.1.6.2 Sustainable surface transport 1.1.6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive. Abstract: In the suggested project the focus will be on unsteady turbulent fluid flow and aeroacoustics for vehicles (i.e. cars, trains, buses and trucks). We will study external aerodynamics as well as unsteady fluid flow in climate systems. The unsteady approach is the proper/only way to treat many flow phenomena in external vehicle aerodynamics. In unsteady flow computations the large, turbulence structures are resolved. Large-scale turbulence is the source of noise, and hence the unsteady flow simulations is a natural first step on the way to predict turbulence induced noise (aeroacoustics). Flow in climate systems represents a major noise source for the passenger. In order to achieve accurate noise predictions, the large-scale turbulence structures

are needed for modelling the noise sources. Thus the fluid flow in the climate system will be computed using unsteady methods. Additional document: int_26685.pdf
