Cities and regions all around Europe are facing exposure to high levels of air pollution and the emerging impacts of climate change. Designing, implementing and monitoring mitigation measures is a tremendous challenge for policy makers and authorities. The CITEAIR II project is working on tools to support monitoring and managing air quality in cities.
CITEAIR II invites you to participate in its next air quality workshop to learn about tools and current initiatives for air quality management.
Transport research Arena - Europe 2010
Location
Brussels - Belgium
Date
7 - 10 June 2010
Website
www.traconference.eu
Main theme
TRA 2010 is an event for the alignment of the stakeholders of transport research and development. It follows previous successful editions of the conference in 2006 in Gothenburg, followed by TRA 2008 in Ljubljana. The TRA contributes to innovation for sustainable mobility in Europe, leading to a greener, safer and smarter transport system, which will be more sustainable, competitive and efficient. By enhancing the networking and clustering of Europe’s research and development capacity – based on a shared Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) and Research Framework – the TRA helps to align European, national, regional and private research and development actions on transport. The European Commission (EC) sees an opportunity for all parties involved to meet and to present, exchange and disseminate the results obtained in research and development. As such, the European Commission
welcomes this TRA and strongly supports it. ERTRAC is a body of crucial importance when creating and implementing a shared European Research Framework on Road Transport. The CEDR members, being both regulating authorities and public clients and with the tools and the capacities they possess, are the important driving forces to implement the European Research Area.

Conference on Models and Technologies for
Intelligent Transportation Systems
Location:
University of Roma Faculty of Engineering, Roma, Italy
Date:
22-23 June 2009
Main theme:
In the last decades intelligent Tranportation Systems have been stimulating an intense research activity by the scientific community, which produced a large number of models, methods and experimental applications regarding traveler information, management systems, and vehicle control. Most of such models still remained at a theoretical level because the technology required had not yet reached a sufficient maturity to provide effective and economically efficient applications. In the last years, technological advances progressed very fast and many products and services are now coming onto the market. Those theoretical models can finally be applied and tested on actual implementations and, on the other hand, the large-scale commercialization of industrial products and services can exploit the results of these studies in oder to provide stable and effective impacts on the transportation system.
The International Conference on Models and Technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems aimed at providing an opportunity for scholars engaged in basic or industrial research to meet and to discuss requirements for ITS applications, unsolved problems and future developments.

Seminar Automation for Urban Transport
Location La Rochelle, France Date 19 September 2008 |
 | |
| Main theme The objectives of the seminar was to present the results of two key European Projects for the advancement of innovative solutions for urban transport: CityMobil and CyberCars-2. The solutions tested within these projects are based on the use of advanced sensors, communication and automation to develop new products such as Personal Rapid Transit(PRT), Cybernetic Transport Systems (CTS), Advanced Bus Rapid Transit (ABRT), and Advanced City Cars (ACC). All these new products are now available on the market and are being tested and evaluated in the CityMobil Project. They have the potential to deliver new sustainable transport solutions to complement or to replace conventional public transport systems and to provide an efficient and convenient alternative to the use of the private car. The participants of these 2 projects were available during this seminar to explain the status of these new products and how they are being tested and evaluated. The seminar was intended for all of those concerned by transportation in cities: city officials and their services, transport operators, suppliers, urban planners, consumers associations, citizens, researchers, the press, etc. CityMobil involvement: | ||
2nd TRANSPORT RESEARCH ARENA, TRA 2008
Location Ljubljana, Slovenia Date 21 to 25 April 2008 Website http://www.tra2008.si/ |
 | |
| Main theme Following the first TRA conference in Göteborg in 2006, the TRA 2008 traditionally focussed on implementation of the European Research Area (ERA) on road transport, identified by ERTRAC’s four pillars: mobility of people & transport of goods, safety & security, energy, environment & resources and design & production. It brought together stakeholders responsible for these topics: European Commission, governmental sector and other policy makers, industry and end-users as well as representatives from the research area. With the objective to strengthen the old and build the new partnerships for a more competitive, yet safer, cleaner and more friendly European road transport. In other words, it will discuss the ways to build a better and more sustainable road transport sector. CityMobil involvement: The CityMobil project was presented at TRA International conference Ljubljana, Slovenia. The TRA 2008 conclusions can be found on the TRA website | ||

Daventry Transport Conference 2007 |
 | |
| Main theme Daventry is positioning itself at the forefront of innovative public transport solutions such as Personal Rapid Transit (PRT). The town is to expand substantially and we are determined to provide an attractive public transport alternative to car users, whilst significantly reducing our travel induced ‘carbon footprint’. Systems such as PRT may offer a solution and would also enhance access to services and facilities for a wide range of people including the young, elderly and those with disabilities. As well as helping to make the town an attractive place in which to live and work, an additional benefit would be to raise the commercial profile of Daventry, encouraging inward investment particularly in higher value-added sectors. Daventry Transport Conference 2007 was a forum for debating the potential benefits of PRT and related transport technologies for Daventry. Those present did include leading practitioners of pioneering transport solutions and a range of organisations who can influence the progress and development of Daventry’s public transport strategy. Included were innovators, local and national government representatives, the European Commission (Programme for Research and Technological Development), policy makers and development bodies, together with developers, environmental specialists and others.
