TRANSPORT TELEMATICS IN THE 4TH RTD AND DEMONSTRATION EC PROGRAMME. GENERAL: THE OVERALL APPROACH, AND SPECIAL: AIR AND RAIL TELEMATICS

The entire telematics chain, from data capture and processing to transmission and reception, is covered for applications in all transport modes offering possibilities for common information platforms. Particular attention is paid to the needs of users, and emphasis is placed on research into telematics tools common to several transport modes, with special attention to the enhancement of safety and efficiency. Attention is given to the need to further integrate transport services for both freight and people, and on the development of interoperability to support the emergence of multimodal transport services. Work strives to balance generic, intermodal technical development, and mode-specific applications. In particular, the broader approach of the activity to a multimodal approach will enable the further integration of transport services for both freight and passengers with particular emphasis on collective transport and appropriate public-private partnerships. The flow of supporting information calls for harmonization in data exchange networks, communication protocols, and system architectures making maximum use of the information/telecommunications infrastructure, and provides ease and convenience of access for a variety of information networks. The transport telematics actions emphasize the need to develop interoperability in multimedia telematic solutions supporting the emergence of multimodal transport services. This paper describes the work to be conducted as well as lists specific objectives for multimodal transport, air transport, and rail transport.
