Content	FP 7 Cooperation Work Programme: Transport Page 86 of 136 Expected impact: • Development of tools and methodologies for enhanced policy making • Research into new approaches to policy making and into the wider impacts of individual measures. • Improved understanding of drivers impacting demand for transport and of the net- externalities (congestions, accidents, emissions, noise) caused by these drivers • Increased scope and reliability of transport modelling by improving/extending existing EU transport models. SST.2008.2.7.1 Policy–packages and best practices for transport Research into optimal policy combinations. Measures taken in isolation often encounter perverse effects and unintended consequences (e.g. road pricing can lead to longer routes being used around the charging area to avoid charges; light urban rail links may initially take traffic off roads, but the reduced congestion on roads leads to higher demand in the longer-term; or, high parking charges may lead to more traffic due to people being driven and dropped-off/collected in urban areas; improved logistics may cause a rebound effect by reducing cost and thereby encouraging more traffic). In these cases, packages of measures are very often necessary to deter such perverse effects. Research is needed into ways of identifying and modelling in advance possible perverse effects, and the construction of optimal packages. Best practice needs to be identified and promulgated. Research is needed to develop tools/methodologies capable of performing the necessary evaluation, including socio-economic assessments of innovative transport policy packages. Such packages must be mindful of the need to maintain the competitiveness of the European economy. Barriers to the implementation of such packages, and the transferability of such packages to different locations, shall be included in the research. All modes of transport must be covered. Funding scheme: Coordination and Support Action Open in call: FP7-SUSTAINABLE SURFACE TRANSPORT (SST)-2008-TREN-1 SST.2008.2.7.2 Sustainability effects of new logistics and manufacturing systems transport impacts Research into the effects of globalisation and other industrial developments on the EU transport system. It is proposed to undertake research into the impact of the fragmentation of manufacturing and logistics processes on transport flows and costs. This research should also cover transport costs of a recycling economy (where manufacturers choose, or are obliged, to recover waste products for re-processing & or re-use). Logistics networks are changing due to changes in global consumption, manufacturing technologies, trade and transport conditions. Flexible manufacturing systems and highly responsive logistics networks (i.e. supply chains for individualised products and services) will create additional transport flows. Interesting trade-offs between transport and sustainability present themselves. Logistics efficiency improvements in transport may be beneficial for the environment (such as the optimisation of otherwise empty vehicles/vessels on return legs). At the same time, reverse logistics (e.g. collection of used goods) may also imply environmental disbenefits due to increased transport. At present there is insufficient forecasting underway of future trends. Research is needed in order to better understand the
