contest book

This book includes the abstracts of all the

project ideas submitted for evaluation

to TRAVISIONS 2016 competitions.

TRAVISIONS 2016 winners were awarded

in April 2016 during the TRA 2016

conference in Warsaw.

The book was prepared by TRAVISIONS 2016 consortium and was designed and directed by Prof. Ezio Spessa, Associate Professor at Politecnico di Torino, Ms. Micol Biscotto, research fellow at the same university and by Mr. George Smyrnakis, Secretary General of WEGEMT.

TRAVISIONS 2016 is a Coordinated Support

Action financed by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (MG-9.7-2014; Grant Agreement N. 640213; http://www.travisions. eu/TRAVisions/index.xhtml). Its aim is to carry out two competitions in the field of surface transport. In particular, the ACADEMIC

STUDENT COMPETITION which obviously

targets students and early stage researchers (BSc, MSc and PhD) has the aim to approach junior researchers to the transport sector, to stimulate their minds and give them the chance to interact with a strong scientific community on transport research and to show their ideas. The EU CHAMPIONS OF

RESEARCH COMPETITION on the other hand

is addressed to senior researchers from EU projects and has the goal to acknowledge the excellence of the already existing research in the field of transport. Although the two competitions have separate evaluation procedures and different rules, they are aimed at reaching a common goal which is the creation of a scientific community made of young and senior researchers in the field of transport. Indeed the interaction between different generations of researchers and different transport modes (road, rail, waterborne, cross modality) will allow for the achievement of the overall objective of

TRAVISIONS 2016, that is the development

and deployment of innovative and cross-cutting transport solutions. In this framework we would like to thank the students and the researchers that participated in the competitions and put their enthusiasm and effort in the preparation of their works. Thanks to them TRAVISIONS 2016 has been a great success!
