Smart enforcement for resilient, sustainable and more efficient transport operations

Summary

The aim is to achieve a comprehensive ecosystem for smart transport enforcement that is tested and proved to be viable, economically and technically, and allows for future integration with relevant information exchange systems in use or considered for deployment in all modes of transport, as part of a wider multimodal transport information exchange environment.

Detailed Call Description

The research and innovation activities should provide innovative solutions for allowing the authorities to access directly and in real time all relevant information required under the different pieces of legislation in “one click”. In particular, that should include social rules, market rules (such as Regulation on access to the occupation of road transport operator, on access to the market for freight and passenger road transport, on weights and dimensions of certain road vehicles, on the interoperability of the rail system, on technical requirements for inland waterway vessels, and on harmonised river information services (RIS) on inland waterways in the Community, as well as safety legislation.

Research and innovation actions are expected to bring together stakeholders at various level, from supply chain (e.g. manufacturers, retailers, freight forwarders and logistics service providers), transport services (e.g. transport operators, enforcing authorities) and infrastructure networks (e.g. road / rail / inland waterways operators and transport node public authorities) to ensure a truly integrated approach.

The research should also provide assessment and recommendations on ensuring that there is a business case for the operators to make the information available electronically to the authorities, and for the authorities to accept it and implement the means to use this information in line with the “only once principle”. Furthermore, the research should consider the business case and conditions for reusing administrative information, where relevant, for the purposes beyond proving legal compliance.
