Book Innovation Capacity of the European Transport Sector

Download or read book Innovation Capacity of the European Transport Sector written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) is the analytical support tool for the establishment and implementation of the Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA), and is the European Commission's (EC) instrument for mapping transport technology trends and research and innovation capacities. Seven STRIA Roadmaps have been developed which cover various thematic areas. TRIMIS provides periodical assessments of transport research and development (R&D) for the various thematic areas. This report cuts through the STRIA Roadmaps and provides a macro-level assessment of the overall innovation capacity in the European transport sector. It does so by identifying and assessing the most relevant indicators on private and public funding, R&D personnel and researchers, engagement in innovation and on the types of innovation activities at the EU and Member State level. The findings highlight the importance of R&D activities in the European transport sector. Innovation levels were found to be particularly high in the automotive manufacturing economic activities. On the lower end the transportation and storage economic activities are found. The level of private investments in R&D has increased over the past seven years, making the transport sector with €42 billion a leader in investment in Europe in 2015. Business R&D expenditure has risen with the automotive industry leading this trend and accounting for more than 75% of the total business investments. Public support to R&D transport reached €3.3 billion in 2017, showing a moderate increase compared to the year 2016. Transport companies are highly committed to innovation activities. This is mostly the case for manufacturing firms, with almost 60% of these declaring that they invest in R&D activities. The analysis of human resources employed in transport R&D found that most R&D personnel is employed in the automotive industry, accounting for almost 70% of the total number of 273,000 people working on transport R&D in 2015. The main barriers to innovation activities are linked to the high costs associated with R&D activities and financing barriers. Other relevant impediments to innovation are market dynamics, such as demand uncertainty and high sectoral competitiveness, as well as the lack of qualified personnel.

Book Assessing Innovation Capacity in the European Transport Sector

Download or read book Assessing Innovation Capacity in the European Transport Sector written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2017, the European Commission (EC) adopted Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agenda (STRIA) as part of the "Europe on the Move" policy package (European Commission, 2017a). STRIA highlights main transport research and innovation (R&I) areas and priorities for clean, connected and competitive mobility and complements the 2015 Strategic Energy Technology Plan (European Commission, 2015). A total of seven STRIA Roadmaps have been developed covering various thematic areas, namely: Cooperative, connected and automated transport; Transport electrification; Vehicle design and manufacturing; Low-emission alternative energy for transport; Network and traffic management systems; Smart mobility and services; and Infrastructure. The Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) is the analytical support tool for the establishment and implementation of the STRIA, and is the EC's instrument for mapping transport technology trends and research and innovation capacities. The assessment of transport research and development (R&D) is one of the main activities within the TRIMIS project. The objective of this report is to present the methodological framework that will be used to map private and public investment in transport R&I, and to define associated socio-economic aspects. This report examines transport R&D capacity in the European Union (EU) from a macrolevel perspective. After providing the background to the analysis, a review of existing literature is presented. The methodology follows an integrated approach: a quantitative and a qualitative assessment that will build on each other. This approach provides a sound quantitative base that will be complemented and integrated with qualitative input from transport stakeholders. The assessment of private and public R&D investments in EU transport benchmarks current transport expenditure and determines future investment needs. Moreover, it identifies socio-economic factors such as organisations engaged in transport R&D, types of innovations and number of active transport researchers. The methodological framework outlined in this report is the starting point for the assessment of EU transport R&D capacity from a financial and socio-economic perspective.
