SATIE
The SATIE (Support Action for a Transport ICT European large scale action) support action prepares the way for the successful launch of a programme of European large scale actions (“elsas”) to accelerate the deployment of ICT for sustainable mobility and transport. It provides assistance to programme managers and potential participants before the programme begins, and explores the key elements of an elsa before issuing guidelines for the design, construction and operation of an elsa in the form of an “Elsa Handbook”.
SATIE:
- elaborate the concept, procedures and added value of a large scale action
- disseminate and raise the awareness with regard to the possibilities of a Transport-ICT elsa with all stakeholders throughout Europe
- map existing initiatives and possible future initiatives which would fit into an elsa approach
The essential commitment of the stakeholders and service champions is achieved by an iterative process of consultation aiming towards the efficient integration of European, national, regional and local policies, innovative procurement practices, European funding instruments, European and national innovation platforms, exploitation of R&D and the objectives of the public and private stakeholders within the value networks of ICT for mobility and transport. The iterative process aims to specify the optimum elsa with regard to the added value to European innovation and economy as well as the European transport system in view of its sustainability in terms of environment, safety, and efficiency. Building on this the Support Action will be able to provide the Commission with input for evaluating the concept of a large scale action and launching a European programme.
