SMILE LIFE

Sustainable Mobility

Initiative for Local

Environment

2001-2004

European

(N/A)

Across Europe, the migration of

people out of the city centre to the

suburbs is leading to increasingly

dispersed settlement structures with

low population densities and long

travel distances. This phenomenon

of urban sprawl comes hand in hand

with an increase in car ownership

and commuter traffic. Today, most

European local authorities are

confronted with significant and

increasing problems of traffic

congestion and pollution.

EURNEX

European Rail

Research Network of

Excellence

2004-2007

European (6th

RTD

Framework

Programme)

The rail system in Europe is faced

with a challenging situation. The

Railway Business Scenario 2020

drawn up by the European Rail

Research Advisory Council (ERRAC)

has set a goal of almost tripling

passenger traffic volume and more

than a threefold increase in rail

freight transport throughout Europe

in twenty years. To achieve this

ambitious goal, the competitiveness

of the rail systems over other

transport modes must be

considerably improved, with the

support of innovative products and

services

2004-2008

European (6th

RTD

Framework

Programme)

The aim of the GMOSS network of

excellence is to integrate Europe's

civil security research so as to

acquire and nourish the autonomous

knowledge and expertise base

Europe needs if it is to develop and

maintain an effective capacity for

global monitoring using satellite

earth observation.

UNIACCESS

Design of Universal

for Public Transport

2005-2006

European (6th

RTD

Framework

Programme)

The European Union has committed

itself to providing all citizens with

equal opportunities. This means that,

in as much as possible, people with

different degrees of mobility (the

young, the elderly, people with

disabilities, people carrying infants

or shopping, pregnant women, etc.)

should be granted the same

comfort, speed and capacity when

using public transport.
