A. Introduction In accordance to the Description of Work (DoW) of the project “Coordination of Air-transport Time Efficiency

Research” (CATER), CIAOTECH (CTECH) is responsible for using its standard in-house procedures, to create and

maintain a prospectus of current and upcoming R&I programs and opportunities as part of the project’s effort

to assure that project stakeholders have a complete view of the R&I and TE landscape.

This shall aid the match and evaluation of R&I programme compared to evidenced gaps to understand if the

shortcomings of the previous programs have been properly addressed.

WRAP-UP of previous work:

This deliverable is the forth in its series (after D2.16, D2.17 and D2.18). In the previous analyses we have

assessed where the main topics concerning ACARE goals (related to Time Efficiency), D2D and TE in general are

addressed.

Methodology

A common set of keywords was selected consistently with Task 2.3 where R&I capabilities are examined. They were found to be suitable for the individuation of at least 97% out of a set of relevant FP6 and FP7 projects initially provided by the European Commission (see deliverable D2.6).

Since then, as a consequence of this preliminary analysis, high-priority calls were identified to be recursively addressed and analysed during the project time-line.

Main results

The whole biennial Work Programme 2014-2015 of Horizon 2020 was examined to assess the methodology. It has shown that – excluding Public-Private-Partnerships and Joint Undertakings like SESAR and Clean Sky programs - CATER main themes mainly fit into the (I) Smart, Green and Integrated Transport and (II) Secure Society – Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens calls.

Next

As suggested by the completion of the first Gap Analysis report (D4.1/D4.2), more indirect topics (such as those fostering big data and IT technologies) along with transport and security, will be considered while exploring the Work Programme 2016-2017 of Horizon 2020 and some major national programme in EU.

B. Work performed

1. Methodology and Approach

The work done has concentrated on the funding opportunities in the biennial period 2016-2017. Consistently with the results in the previous activities in this Task all the analysed calls and topics from the scouted funding programs were analysed to identify their:

Relevance with ACARE SRIA Volume 2 Challenges, distinguishing between: Mobility (‘Meeting Societal and market needs’), Environment (‘Protecting the environment and the energy supply’) Competitiveness (‘Maintaining and extending industrial leadership’) Security (‘Ensuring safety and security’) Research (‘Prioritising research, testing capabilities an education’)

Relevance to the Time-efficiency of air-transportation (taking into account the whole Door-to-door process)

The fundamentals modelling and taxonomies adopted by CATER to define this last criteria have been extensively reviewed in tasks 2.1 and 2.2. Particularly, it is worth to recall the used strategic approach (D2.2) which relates the bottlenecks identified in the D2D process model to the selection and classification of a group of R&I Needs from ACARE SRIA Volume 2. In turn, these are based on the contribution to a primary Flightpath 2050 goal (in bold) and to other targets which have been considered relevant to time efficiency. The table below shows the complete list of identified goals.

Flightpath 2050 Goals related to time efficiency

90% of travellers within Europe are able to complete their journey, door-to-door within 4 hours

Flights arrive within 1 minute of the planned arrival time regardless of weather conditions

European citizens are able to make informed mobility choices and have affordable access to one another, taking into account: economy, speed, and tailored level of service

An air traffic management system is in place that provides a range of services to handle at least 25 million flights a year of all types of vehicles, (fixed-wing, rotorcraft) and systems (manned, unmanned, autonomous) that are integrated into and interoperable with the overall air transport system with 24-

hour efficient operation of airports

A coherent ground infrastructure is developed including: airports, vertiports and heliports with the relevant servicing and connecting facilities, also to other modes

Weather and other hazards from the environment are precisely evaluated and risks are properly mitigated

Efficient boarding and security checks allow seamless security for global travel, with minimum passenger and cargo impact

Table 1 - Flightpath 2050 Goals

The R&I Needs Classification is based on three types according to their contribution to the primary 4hrs door-to-door goal:

Type 1: specifically addressing the ‘4hrs door-to-door goal’.

Type 2: relevant on improving Time Efficiency via another goal related to time efficiency, in a directly perceptible manner for travellers.

Type 3: relevant on improving Time Efficiency via another goal related to time efficiency, in a non-directly perceptible manner for travellers.

2. Performed Analysis and Main Results

2.1. Horizon 2020: WP 2016-2017 overview (excluding Sesar and Clean Sky JU)

During Months 24-36 in the project, CTECH has duly performed a scanning of EU and national programs whit its standard in-house techniques and analysed all the possible connections to the themes of Time Efficiency. The rationale behind the analyses has taken into consideration both the previous analysis from Task 2.5 and the performed Gap Analysis in Task 4.1 (D4.1/D4.2). As a main outcome, the need to search for further TE-related funding in horizontal calls has been identified, i.e. particularly related to the introduction and application of new IT and Big Data technology solutions possibly affecting mobility services. As a summary (Figure 1): 5 main topics spread in the WP 2016-2017 have been found to be connected to TE matters, potentially

involving € 417,5 Mln. On top of the specific mobility themes, GNSS technologies, Big Data, IoT and Infrastructure Protection are related to the overall transport system, security and mobility enhancement.

€ 303 Mln are related to the Mobility for Growth (henceforth MfG) call inside Smart, Green and Integrated Transport.

2.2. Smart Green and Integrated Transport

Smart Green and Integrated Transport (Societal Challenge 4 in the WP 2016-2017) is composed of Mobility for Growth along with Automated Road Transport (ART) and Green Vehicles (GV) for an overall € 743 Mln budget. MfG represents c.a. the 53% of this amount. (See the Annex section for the Calls list)

Figure 2 – Smart Green and Integrated Transport Budget breakdown

ART and GV wrap-up: As a general remark, more than € 100 Mln have been set ready for the ART Calls (See Annex list). It is evident that the whole topic has a strong potential impact on the D2D model especially related to predictability, safety and speed, decreasing traffic and improving the time to and from the airport. Yet, no direct connection with the set of targets in Table 1 has been found and the ART calls have so been discarded. As well, GV adoption (€ 200 Mln budget) can contribute to a better mobility, but the main connection is with environmental targets. Mobility for Growth (MfG) insight: MfG is split in different topics. Aviation is the largest one with € 146 Mln dedicated.

In MfG all ACARE goals are covered, with a majority of 35 calls % linked to Mobility

Figure 4 – ACARE’s target in MfG calls

Crosschecking ACARE goals and Time efficiency impact the majority of Calls with a “directly perceptible

for the customer” (Type 2) impact are confirmed to be aimed at the mobility target. Competitiveness and Security lead the “transparent to the customer” (Type 3) connection to TE. Only 1 Call is directly related to the 4 hours D2D target. It is worth noting that it is not an Implementation call (R&I or IA), but a Concept Call (CSA) analyzing Gaps and Needs

Figure 5 – Match between ACARE goals and Time Efficiency Calls classification

More specifically, the absolute majority of calls is classifiable as a Type 3, namely addressing the D2D 4 hours performance through other Flightpath 2050 targets (as per Table 1) in a transparent for the customer way.

Figure 6 – Relevance and type of MfG calls with respect to Time Efficiency

Only € 11 Mln are directly connected to the primary goal of 4 hours D2D (Type 1). The entire budget is related to the Air mode of transport. There is no connection to Railways in relevant calls. On the opposite side Multimodality (MM) is well represented with € 123 Mln.

Figure 7 – Time Efficiency impacting calls (Type 1-2-3) per Mode of Transport

2.3. Other H2020 calls potentially impacting TE

CATER previous analyses have confirmed that TE not only needs R&D, but a continuous focus on Infrastructures, Regulations, Governance, new Services and Business Models and eventually customers Information provided by booming ICT technologies related to the use of Big Data and facilitated by IoT.

Page 11: D2.19 - Funding Programmes and R&I opportunities (Year III) · 2017-02-08 · CATER – GA n. 605497 D2.19 - Funding programmes and R&I opportunities (Year III) Page 6 of 20 B. Work

Of course, the time and investment scales related to these developments are very different, but there is a serious chance that IT and new Services and Business Models can lead to real improvement in TE faster, addressing more steps in the D2D model and particularly addressing the ACARE Mobility targets. Stemming from these considerations we have also examined “horizontal” topics spread among the WP 2016-2017. As a result (see Figure 1) we have found that potentially € 114,5 Mln can impact TE matters on top of MfG contributions even if not directly linked with the targets of Table 1 and include bottom-up topics mainly addressing Multimodal transport. Mostly, they aim at developing technologies with demonstrations in the relevant industrial sectors. The wrap-up of this analysis is reported in Figure 8

Figure 8 – Other funding related to TE

More specifically, the relevant calls scope descriptions are reported in the following:

Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies; Space - CALL Applications in Satellite Navigation – Galileo – 2017

GALILEO-1-2017: EGNSS Transport applications - This call has a specific Aviation safety-related target among others with

possible synergies with the Sesar JU programme.

“The development of EGNSS solutions for navigation, surveillance and communication in all phases of flight (aircraft and rotorcraft) shall be addressed, including the possibility to determine the location of aircraft in distress. In particular, GNSS based PBN (Performance Based Operations), advanced operations for approach and landing benefitting from robust vertical guidance and LPV-200/CAT1 services. Furthermore, surveillance applications, such as ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) and use of reliable PVT for signal integrity, precise positioning and orientation of remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) might be addressed. Synergy and complementarity with the Sesar Joint Undertaking and other initiatives shall be clearly identified. Proposals should in particular build on multi-constellation/multi-frequency, current and future EGNOS integrity features and service levels, as well as integration of multi-constellation enabling capabilities.”

GALILEO-2-2017: EGNSS mass market applications – This call has specific connections to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Smart Cities topics

Page 12: D2.19 - Funding Programmes and R&I opportunities (Year III) · 2017-02-08 · CATER – GA n. 605497 D2.19 - Funding programmes and R&I opportunities (Year III) Page 6 of 20 B. Work

CATER – GA n. 605497

“Development of EGNSS solutions for cross-modal mobility and new emerging “Mobility as a Service” approach shall be addressed, in which the user does not buy a vehicle or a public transport ticket, but a service to comply with her/his mobility needs. This area may include innovative telematics applications in which the positioning, timing and navigation are used both to deliver the mobility service and to calculate a fair price based on the actual use of it. Development of EGNSS solutions for other areas of future Smart Cities are also included in the scope.”

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies

ICT-15 – 2016-2017: Big Data PPP, Large Scale Pilot projects in sectors best benefitting from data-driven innovation – This call relevance depends on its target of doubling the use of Big Data technology in the main target sectors (including Transport) with the set-up of Large Scale Pilot Actions, gathering capitals and investments and involving new organizations and service providers active in Big Data (not necessarily as partners of the projects aiming to a fast market introduction.

“Possible industrial sectors for Large Scale Pilot actions include (but are not limited to) health, energy, environment, earth observation, geospatial, transport, manufacturing, finance and media. Although Large Scale Pilot actions are required to have a strong focus in a given industrial domain, they may involve cross-domain activities where these provide clear added value. Large Scale Pilot actions will propose replicable solutions by using existing technologies or very near-to-market technologies that could be integrated in an innovative way and show evidence of data value (see the section "Expected Impact"). Their objective is to demonstrate how industrial sectors will be transformed by putting data harvesting and analytics at their core. Large Scale Pilot actions are expected to exhibit substantial visibility, mobilisation, and commercial and technological impact. Proposals should demonstrate that they have access to appropriately large, complex and realistic data sets. “

Cross-cutting activities (Focus Areas) - CALL "INTERNET OF THING"

IoT2 – 2016: IoT Horizontal activities – It is relevant because it is strongly interconnected to the usage of Big Data as well as being a key-enabling technology potential trigger for new services and overall information availability in the context of Smart Cities.

“A related challenge is to foster links between communities of IoT users and providers, as well as with Member States' initiatives, and to connect with other initiatives including contractual Public-Private-Partnerships (e.g. in the area of Big Data, Factories of the Future, 5G-infrastructure), Joint Technology Initiatives (e.g. ECSEL), European Innovation Partnerships (e.g. on Smart Cities), other Focus Areas (e.g. on Autonomous transport), and RRI-SSH issues.” IoT1 – 2016: Large Scale Pilots – it is relevant as it aims to large scale pilots with the specific aim to bring IoT technologies/approach to specific real-life industrial/societal challenges. “It will be possible to operate the functional entities implemented in the pilot under load and constraints conditions close to operational load one. Particularly, a Pilot for autonomous driving will be implemented able to unlock several benefits. The selected scenarios will provide proofs of concept showing how such technology provides benefits affecting users on a daily basis, for instance on the highways or in urban congested environment, either on dedicated lanes or mixing autonomous connected vehicles and legacy vehicles.”

CIP-01-2016-2017: Prevention, detection, response and mitigation of the combination of physical and cyber threats to the critical infrastructure of Europe.- It is relevant because it is aimed to protection, thus reliability and security of critical infrastructure as airports, ports, harbors and train stations.

“Proposals should cover: prevention, detection, response, and in case of failure, mitigation of consequences (including novel installation designs) over the life span of the infrastructure, with a view to achieving the security and resilience of all functions performed by the installations, and of neighboring populations and the environment”

2.4. Relevance of Aviation Joint Undertakings

There are two major Joint Undertakings for aviation in EU, where EC and Major Industries co-finance specific programs: Clean Sky and Sesar JU. Both of them have started their second cycle, respectively called Clean Sky 2 and Sesar 2020.

CLEAN SKY 2 JU

Clean Sky is completely dedicated to the development of demonstrators for greener aircraft and rotorcraft technologies, focusing on performances. Its main connection to ACARE goals is thus related to Environment and Competitiveness and no direct connection to time efficiency can be found in the frame of CATER focus (according to Table 1). However, for the sake of completeness, in the following a brief summary of the allocated budget in 2016-2017 is reported as described in the document “CLEAN SKY 2 JOINT UNDERTAKING AMENDED BI-ANNUAL WORK PLAN and BUDGET 2016-2017”

SESAR 2020 JU

Sesar 2020, as its predecessor Sesar, is focused on the definition, development and deployment of what is needed to increase ATM performance and build Europe’s intelligent air transport system. Although CATER was conceived to monitor complementary research with respect to SESAR, in principle every project/call in its frame is connected to CATER related targets in Table 1 - An air traffic management system is in place that provides a range of services to handle at least 25 million flights a year of all types of vehicles, (fixed-wing, rotorcraft) and systems (manned, unmanned, autonomous) that are integrated into and

interoperable with the overall air transport system with 24-hour efficient operation of airports-

Figure 12 – SESAR 2020 Calls (2016)

2020-SESAR-2016-1: Conditions for the 2016 SESAR2020 RPAS Exploratory Research Call – It is relevant for the ATM and

complies with ACARE Research target facing Unmanned Vehicles related topics.

“SESAR Exploratory Research into Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will address the key research questions impacting the operation of UAS and RPAS in the very low level (VLL), including beyond visual line of sight (B-VLOS) operations, as well as visual flight rules (VFR) environments (noting that the issue of instrument flight rules (IFR) integration will be addressed as part of the SESAR2020 Industrial research call). The two work areas of this call are UAS/RPAS integration operational issues and UAS/RPAS integration technical issues.”

2020-SESAR-2016-2: Conditions for the 2016 SESAR2020 Exploratory Research Second Call – It is relevant for the ATM

and complies with ACARE Research target taking care of innovative concepts related to Knowledge Transfer Networks

and the Future ATM Skilled work-force.

“SESAR Exploratory Research drives the development and evaluation of innovative or unconventional ideas, concepts, methods and technologies; that can define and deliver the performance required for the next generation of European ATM system. The two work areas of this call are the transversal exploratory research activities and a further set of ATM application-oriented research topics which builds on and complements the research topics already included in the first call for exploratory research in 2015.” 2020-SESAR-2016-3: Conditions for the 2016 SESAR2020 Open Call for Very Large Demonstrations (Wave 1) – It is completely related to TE because of its targets.

Demonstration will deal with: Airport Integration & Performance Demonstrations; Global Interoperability ATM & Network Demonstrations, including RPAS; CNS Demonstrations, including Data Link.

2.5. National programs analysis

As last step of Month 24-36 - Task 2.5 - analysis, major national programs have been explored by CTECH to assess the representation of TE related themes among them. The results are reported in Figure 13 where potentially € 295 Mln found available are shown. It is to be noted that most national programs are bottom-up, so their potential to address the transport and TE thematic also depend on the financed projects. In the represented case, the Italian Call for applications, although calling for projects in transport and TE related topics, is not specifically designed for them and so it will require to check how much budget will effectively be used for TE related projects, if possible. Differently, UK and France selected programs are strictly related to Infrastructure and Ferries for an overall amount of € 95 Mln. Eventually, as a further general remark, national calls can be made known and available with a variable (and short) notice with respect to the required projects application, depending on the country, so the overall picture can change quickly.

C. Conclusions & Next Steps During the period September 2015 - October 2016, CTECH has performed an extensive analysis of the 2016-

2017 Work Programme of Horizon 2020, also analyzing the Joint Undertakings Clean Sky 2 and Sesar 2020 in

order to assess their link to CATER main topics and objectives.

As a general result ACARE goals, D2D and TE themes have strongly populated the Mobility For Growth (MfG)

Calls while several crosscutting topics related to IT new enabling technologies are also to be monitored and

have the potential to be very relevant for future TE improvements.

Yet, very few topics are directly related to TE issue or directly tackling customers’ perception.

In view of the next update activities to be performed the main targets are:

To complete upcoming 2017 calls and analyze available documents on the next 2018-2019-2020

programme.

To make it by full cooperation with the tools developed in CATER WP2 and WP5, namely CASK and the R&I

Frame assessment software developed in T2.1

To crosscheck the connection between WP 2016-2017 allocated budget and financed projects in order to

provide sound Gaps and Recommendation analyses in CATER WP4

To provide stakeholders with full notification about funding opportunities and findings on CATER related

pages – Website & Social Groups.
