• European Commission, DG Information Society

2
MEMBER STATES ACTIVITIES

• In parallel to European programme
• Common objectives or specific purposes

• start of co-operation with the Commission, or
  bilateral co-operation

3
2 EXAMPLES

• MOBILITÄT in GERMANY
• PREDIT in FRANCE

4
MOBILITÄT

• Monitored by the Federal Ministry of Education
  and Research
• main objective securing mobility in conurbation
• 6 projects financed (77 million Euros supported
  by the Ministry until now same amount by the
  partners)
• Intermobil (Dresden) Mobilist (Stuttgart)
• stadtinfokoeln (Cologne) WAYflow (Frankfut /
  Main)
• Mobinet (Munich) Cashcar (Berlin)
• involving 100 partners

5
MOBILITÄT

• Work focuses on
• strengthening of public transport
• co-operation between carriers
• increasing safety
• conservation of the environment and of the
  resources
• support for traffic-reducing structures

6
PREDIT

• Monitored by 4 Ministries (research, transports,
  industry, environment) and 2 public agencies
• main objective to provide incentives to research
  and experimentation and support to innovation
• 11 operational subgroups
• some directly linked to research on safety
  (subgroup3 and 4)
• some others dedicated to the vehicle or to the
  integration of information system (subgroup 9 and
  10)
• total budget 305 Meuros

7
PREDIT

• Specific running activities on safety
• action for road safety (ARCOS)
• experimentation of an intelligent speed
  adaptator (LAVIA)
• workshop on social sciences
• simulator for school (RESPECT)
• hypo-vigilance

8
BUT also

• Many national initiatives e-safety related (for
  example ISA in Sweden)
• Or active subgroups like ITS.(ITS Italy, ITS UK,
  ITS France) promoting national projects
• Direct collaboration between Public Authorities
  and their research institute (for instance DOT
  and TRL in UK on HMI)...

9
HMI in Europe and elsewhere

• Following of the HMI initiative launched by the
  Commission in 1999 , including now some answers
  from the Member States
• US initiative on HMI best practices (April 2002)
• statement of principles, criteria and
  verification procedures on driver interactions
  with advanced In vehicle information and
  communication systems

10
CONCLUSION

• Establishment of an integrated info.system on
  national RTD
• collaboration via ERA RTD info system for 6 FP
• Co-operation needed (identification of common
  objectives, especially related to e-safety
  including HMI) - avoidance of redundancy
• addition of financial support for synergy effect
  (critical mass) -gtnew rule for 6 FP
