Roadmaps

ERTRAC Strategic Research Agenda: As an important partner of ERTRAC, EARPA actively contributed to the elaboration of the ERTAC Strategic Research Agenda which was released end 2004. This Strategic Research Agenda is set in the context of the economic, societal and environmental challenges facing Europe and aims to support:

  • European economic competitiveness;
  • Quality of life of European society such as mobility access, social inclusion, safety and security;
  • The environment including the reduction of greenhouse gases, emissions, noise, and optimized use of resources and recycling.

You can also download the overview of the ERTRAC Strategic Research Agenda.

In addition, after the publication of the Vision & Challenges and the Strategic Research Agenda now the third document, the ERTRAC Research Framework for 2007 – 2015 is ready and available for download. ERTRAC believes that this Research Framework is useful for FP7 planning as well as for planning national activities. This document is a living document, which will be updated during the next years.

FURORE Roadmap: The final result of the FURORE Network, which has been initiated by EARPA, is the “Automotive R&D Technology Roadmap” describing technology expectations, needs and priorities for automotive research based on selected future mobility scenarios. This roadmap is intended to aid co-operation between industry, research institutions and universities and to contribute to the definition of future European research initiatives. This Roadmap comprises a book generally presenting FURORE results.

PSN Roadmap: The Advanced Passive Safety Network (APSN) supported by EARPA also published a roadmap mainly looking at integral safety in vehicles. The addition to this strategic document, called the Secondary Safety Research Action Plan (SSRAP) can also be downloaded here.
