The purpose of this project is to study quantum systems which allow only a partial control by a constrained set of quantum operations. Typical examples are many particle quantum systems like cold atoms in optical lattices or other multi-atom ensembles, which can be manipulated collectively but not individually (e.g. because the spatial resolution of the used devices is not good enough to address single particles). Such restrictions are currently one of the biggest obstacles against working quantum computers. Instead of improving the corresponding experimental methods (i.e. searching for better implementations) this project aims at a systematic study of the tasks which can be performed with currently available techniques. To this end we want to develop theoretical models which can on the one hand reflect the limitations of current experimental setups, but are on the other hand powerful enough to allow non-trivial practical applications. This point of view is new and complementary to most other research in quantum information science, where complete control over a small number of particles is assumed. Based on these models we plan in a second step to produce strategies for the generation of devices which are -- at least for a very special task -- more powerful than classical computers, and at the same time easily implementable. Possible applications of this procedure are simulations of other quantum systems, like models for ferromagnetic materials with long range quantum correlations or lattice approximations of quantum field theories, which can not be treated efficiently on classical computers (i.e. the computation time grows exponentially with the system size). The advantage of our approach over other research which directly tries to implement universal quantum computers is a much greater success probability (at least short- or mid-term).

The objective is to develop new integrated technology and design concepts for fixed leading edge structure to achieve greater than 30% reduction in recurring manufacturing and assembly cost compared to to-day’s highly fabricated structure. The Project will explore material and processing technology options for both metallic and composite structural solutions that will result in preferred concepts that best meet the critical structural requirements which are defined in the project. A key requirement will be the cost and simplicity of manufacture; however structural performance, in service maintenance, systems access and environmental impact requirements will also feature in a concept and technology selection process. The Project aligns to the FP7 objectives defined in AAT.2008.4.1.2. Aerostructures ‘Development of highly integrated structures with optimum combination of metallic and composite materials …’ and AAT.2008.4.1.5. Production ‘... advanced manufacturing methods to reduce both recurring and non-recurring costs across the whole production cycle ...’. The project is subdivided into 5 operational working packages and one management work package, with organisation of WP’s running from WP1, definition of requirements, through technology development (WP2), concept design and development in WP3 & 4 and conclusions in WP5. The Project consortium is a well-balanced team of European Aerospace OEM’s, all very capable of appropriately assessing and ex-ploiting the competing technologies and design solutions.

The WEATHER project aims at adding to the current state of knowledge on the impacts of extreme weather events on economy and society in total and on European transport systems in particular. The project starts from the broad picture of climate scenarios and breaks them down to specific regions. Economic growth models are applied to study the impacts on economy and society and the inter-relations between transport and other sectors. The vulnerability of transport is assessed mode by mode including infrastructures, operations and intermodal issues. Best practices in emergency management are identified by studying the numerous damage cases world wide and options for adapting to more frequent and / or more extreme weather events are assessed. A particular focal point of the project is to quantify expected damage, emergency and adaptation costs and the benefits of improved emergency management and adaptation. Moreover, the project will identify policy options to implement the recommended measures and demonstrate the competitive potential and the innovation power of a European lead market for adaptation and emergency management technologies and policies. The toolbox of the project consists of literature review, targeted interviews, workshops, cost accounting models and case studies. The project will last for 27 months. The team consists of 8 leading transportation research institutes all having well founded experience in the core research fields of the WEATHER project.

The PPlane project is a direct follow up study to Out-of-the-Box project that aimed to identify potential new concepts and technologies for future air transport and focused on a number of radical changes to the system rather than taking incremental steps. As a result of the Out-of-the-Box project, PPlane implements a systematic approach to radical and novel ideas for Personal Air Transport System (PATS). The project starts with the definition of several operational concepts and implements an optimisation model and several selection criteria to suggest and analyse new concepts for the personal air transport system of the future. The main selection criteria include: “Security and safety”, “Automation and Control”, “Environment”, and “Human Factors”. Horizontal areas such as technologies, regulation and affordability are considered in each of the above criteria. The resulting concepts are analysed and compared resulting in recommendations for implementation across Europe. The PPlane team is led by ONERA and comprises well known organisations in the field of aviation from different domains including industry, research and academic institutes. Additional external experts will be invited to the advisory board. PPlane’s objectives and methodology are an excellent match with the objectives of AAT.2008.6.3.3. "Personal air transport systems" and in particular with AREA: 7.1.6.3 “Promising Pioneering Ideas in Air Transport” matching the expected impact of “assessing the viability or paving the way towards the realisation of the new ideas and concepts identified by ACARE”. Moreover, the definition of the PATS concepts will be built according to the ATM structure planned in SESAR.

The current project aims at the investigation and development of technologies and steps necessary for approaches to conquer the grey zone between aeronautics and space in Europe, and thus to set the foundation of a new paradigm for transportation in the long term. The underlying concepts considered are a) a European space plane based on an airplane launch approach to advance European know how in this area, based essentially on a ballistic flight experience using hybrid propulsion, and b) the same space plane envisioned to evolve into suborbital point-to-point long-distance transport in very short times by using high-energy propulsion. An alternative, vertically starting two-stage rocket space vehicle system concept is used to identify technologies required for suborbital ultra-fast transportation. The concepts will be addressed separately and in relation to each other as well as with those considered in other EC projects, exploiting similarities and synergies wherever possible. The concepts can be classified with near term and very long term realisation capabilities, and will be evaluated according to the maturity of underlying technology, inherent risk, sustained operations, and cost. All concepts and technologies will be considered with respect to environmental issues. Some activities concern the leagal issues and those of suitable space ports. Due to the recent agreement with Virgin Galactic, it is quite natural to consider the ESRANGE facility in Sweden an excellent candidate for a starting place of experimental high-altitude high-speed flights.

When an aircraft flies in cold, moist air, especially at low altitudes, ice can form rapidly both on and behind the leading edge of aerofoils and other structures. The growth of the ice disturbs the local airflow and can radically alter the lift of the aerofoil and hence the handling characteristics of the aircraft. This phenomenon has caused a number of fatal accidents and loss of control events and is a problem that will intensify as increased pressures on airports mean that aircraft will spend much longer in low altitude holding patterns. Large aircraft use hot-gases diverted from the engines to remove ice from flight-critical surfaces, while smaller aircraft sometimes use pneumatic “boots” which expand under pressure to shed the ice layers. These technologies are incompatible with future generations of air transport, in which composite materials will be used extensively. Furthermore, current ice detectors are insensitive, cannot distinguish between ice types and are not co-located with the safety critical zones. Building on electro-thermal de-icing technology now widely used in helicopters, the ON-WINGS project will develop a smart, autonomous, composite electro-thermal de-icing system for fixed wing, helicopter rotor blade and engine inlet applications. The system will incorporate, for the first time, ice detection sensors integrated within the structure, capable of reliably detecting the presence, thickness and type of ice – including SLD and mixed phase ice - accreted on the surface. The sensors will control the operation of the electro-thermal heater blankets, thus ensuring optimum de-icing performance while minimising power demand. The system, which will include a self-diagnostic capability, will be validated in an extensive series of icing tunnel trials. ON-WINGS brings together the major European aircraft and helicopter manufacturers, specialist SMEs and research institutes to work on a critical safety issue which crosses national and company boundaries

The objective of this study is to gather the expertise of partners from different fields related to meteorology, hydrology, infrastructure operation, transportation and economics to assess the effect of climate change on the transport network, taking the inland waterway network as a case-study. The project is based on consolidation and analysis of earlier and existing research work as well as application of existing climate change and hydrological assessment tools for evaluation of climate change effects on the inland waterway transport (IWT) network. The development of new models is excluded from the study. During the project, cooperation and exchange of information is foreseen with other FP7 projects, namely EWENT and WEATHER. These projects are also focussed on the effects of extreme weather conditions on transport modes, but do not focus in particular on the IWT mode. The project initially evaluates recent climate change scenarios, leading to predictions on the weather conditions in the future. Naturally, these may result in changes of the hydrological balance of the inland waterway network, being either associated with less ice formation and more balanced waterway conditions over the year or extreme situations such as prolonged low water periods or floods, depending on the region considered. The next step of the project is to evaluate the effect of these changes on the costs and reliability associated with inland waterway transport and other transport, which might lead to changes in transport flows. These calculations form the basis of a baseline scenario, assuming little or no deviation in policy related to IWT or other transport modes. In parallel with the evaluation of the service quality of the baseline scenario, proper adaptation strategies for coping with possible climate change effects on inland waterway transport are identified and assessed. It is expected that these measures will improve the service quality of IWT even in the case of a changing climate. Final results contain projections of service quality, flows on the inland waterway network under climate change conditions, as well as cost-benefit assessments of possible adaptation strategies. The project provides essential information for decision makers and guidelines for future research on climate change and IWT.

The primary aim of the proposed project ENABLE is to contribute to the external relations of EU with Latin American countries, specifically Argentina and Brazil, in the area of co-modal and intermodal freight transport. The project will stimulate sustainable freight transport systems with Latin American countries. In order to achieve this aim, the work plan of ENABLE entails inventories and surveys to obtain a sound picture of the situation of intermodal freight transport in Latin America; state-of-the-art reviews in Europe that will allow the identification of strengths and innovations of the European freight transport industry and research; and concrete roadmaps to facilitate their effective transfer to the target areas. Special attention will be paid to networking and partnership building actions that will strengthen the dialogue between Europe and Latin America, and foster international cooperation between the two geographical areas. A stakeholders Forum will be established in Latin America. Furthermore, Forum sessions, conferences and other dissemination actions will contribute to the visibility of the project results and engage the stakeholders of both sides in a fruitful dialogue. The partners of the project comprise a team that covers all disciplines that are essential and necessary for the successful implementation of the work plan. The two Latin American partners have a deep knowledge about the intermodal freight transport activities in their countries and the greater region, and they will play the role of agents in the knowledge transfer activities. The European partners are three of the most active organizations in the continent’s intermodal freight transport activities. The consortium will be assisted by the European Intermodal Association (EIA) by engaging its extensive know-how in European innovations, as well as its members’ expertise and contacts in the Latin American intermodal transport society.
