EU launches TRIMIS online analysis tool for clean Europe transport sector

The 1690 European Commission has launched an online tool to analyse EU and Member State projects’ clean, connected and competitive contributions to Europe’s transport sector.

The Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) is developed and implemented by the EU Joint Research Centre on behalf of the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport. It replaces the Transport Research & Innovation Portal (TRIP) and incorporates the latter’s database of over 10,000 EU and national transport research projects.

TRIMIS supports transport policy makers and researchers by helping to identify innovations with the greatest promise for the future, and aid policy makers to focus on areas where public intervention can create the highest added value.

TRIMIS will assess the impact of transport technologies on the EU transport system, including current developments and future applications. Finally, TRIMIS will communicate progress and issues to policy makers, Member States experts and authorities, research organisations, as well as industrial and financial communities.

    January 24, 2014
    According to the European Commission, assistive and cooperative systems (ITS) are expected to have a significant impact on the safety of vulnerable road users (VRU), by influencing all road users' behaviour. The third European Motorcyclists' Forum, to be held in Brussels on 5 and 6 March will discuss this and the current state-of-the-art of ITS for transport which has not undergone any specific impact assessment with regard to positive or negative consequences for the specific mode of transport on powere

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201

    Transport MEPs have called on the European Commission (EC) to present a timetable with targets for what the EU needs to achieve between 2019 and 2020 to accelerate the deployment of connected intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) technologies. It follows a welcomed response to the EC’s plans to speed up the deployment of digital technologies in transport to improve road safety and reduce congestion and emissions.

  • EU draft on road pricing adopts ‘user pays’ principle
    October 31, 2018
    Draft rules have been adopted by European policy makers which would bring the idea of widescale ‘user pays’ road pricing one step closer. European Union member states which currently use time-based road user charges will need to switch to distance-based ones for trucks and buses (over 2.4 tonnes) from 2023, and vans and minibuses from 2027, if the rules are made into law. The idea is that vehicles would then be charged according to their actual road use and the pollution they generate. The ‘user
