An important subsystem in surface transportation vehicles (rail bound, automotive and heavy duty) is the cooling unit. Present European standards for interoperability of rail bound traffic require low noise levels while manufactures need to meet the vehicle performance and energy efficiency requested by the operators. The stringent EU6 emission limits expected to come into effect will increase dramatically the demand for cooling power in road vehicles without accepting a noise penalty. Manufactures need innovative methods for reducing costs of development and testing and thus further improving their competitiveness in the global market. The objectives are innovative contributions towards novel cooling units with reduced noise radiation and decreased CO2 emissions. We aim at new compact lay outs, innovative heat management strategies and low energy/noise components. Intermediate objectives concern (i) implementation of an integrated simulation platform for noise mechanisms, scattering and propagation; (ii) development of design procedures for thermally and acoustically optimal cooling units; (iii) research on innovative fan designs and new passive noise control measures and their integration into novel cooling units. Mass produced automotive units and large locomotive systems produced at small numbers are considered simultaneously - strong synergies and cross-fertilization are expected. The project is structured in five work packages. WP1 deals with the project co-ordination. WP2 focuses on the acoustical models and their integration, WP3 takes into account realistic train and automotive environments, WP4 deals with full scale vehicle tests and WP5 concludes the projekt with an assessment. and and an exploitation plan and dissimation. Being an upstream-research oriented project, a majority of the person-months and budget, especially within WP 2 and WP3, are committed to 3 universities and a research establishment. WP4 and 5 are performed primarily by industrial partners to enable immediate exploitation of the results.

ETISplus sets out to build upon the strengths of the ETIS project (2005) and to address the lessons learnt. In principle, the Commission’s objectives have not changed, but greater emphasis is required upon the frameworks. In ETISplus several innovations and extensions are proposed: • the use of intelligent transport systems to provide data feeds • the development of a business model, by which the system can be self-supporting • the widening of the geographical scope • the institutional organisation of data collecting will be assessed and based on a benchmark improvements will be proposed and tested. • the inclusion of more data on logistics, variables that influence transport and on data on effects (consequences) of transport • the existing and new data will be laid down in a data framework – information architecture model: • the base year of the present ETIS database is 2000; it is proposed to add 2005 and 2008 as new reference years • the data on transport are not restricted to interregional transport. ETISplus will also address data on intraregional transport • ETISplus will further revive the idea of a server based system • the introduction of a specific data validation procedure • a strong focus on stakeholders participation and commitment By proposing the innovations and extensions as mentioned above the proposal gives a balance between at the one hand building on existing results through updating and at the other hand innovation using new technologies for data collection, new efficient cost-effective methods in cases where the quality is still behind standards, a new retrieval tool, extending both geographically and by adding new variables and developing a business model for the future. TRANSTOOLS is the key application that the project ETISplus must support. The presence of TRANSTOOLS also simplifies the role of this task, by allowing it to focus more on the data, and less upon the need to calculate indicators, a major task within the original ETIS project.

The web has brought fundamentally new challenges to data management. The key features that distinguish web data from traditional database applications are its structure - usually described by mark-up languages, such as XML - and its dynamic nature. The FOX research programme will study these challenges in detail and investigate ways to master them. To this end, FOX aims at a paradigm shift in the modelling of internet data. It will provide foundations of dynamic and data-oriented features of the Web, and come up with new efficient algorithms for organising, transforming, and querying Web content. Some of the prospective insights are expected to have a significant impact on the next generation of XML and Web standards. To achieve these general goals, FOX will work on a number of specific tasks. It will identify and investigate the infrastructure needed for document, schema, and constraint management for XML data with special emphasis on the handling of data and its constraints. Furthermore, the corresponding reasoning tasks will be studied. It will develop new techniques and algorithms for schema mapping, Web data exchange and for improving query evaluation by making use of schema information. These investigations will take into account that documents and schemas change over time and are distributed across multiple sites. A special focus will be on automated decision-making and on safety aspects, including verification of data-driven web services and run-time analysis. New techniques and algorithms for handling missing data and metadata in XML documents will be developed based on uncertainty management, on the one hand, and automatic recovery, on the other hand. Finally, FOX will develop a software library with prototypical implementations.

2DECIDE addresses one of the most important ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems and Services) deployment related challenges on European level: Support and speed up consistent decision making related to ITS deployment for road and public transport (timely, cost-effective, interoperable, positive impact to urban and interurban mobility, positive cost/ benefit ration). A number of EU-documents have addressed the fact that slow and uncoordinated decision making for ITS deployment on urban, regional and national level is the most urgent problem to be solved in order to utilise the benefits ITS deployment can gain for a sustainable European transportation system. 2DECIDE has formed a consortium representing an outstanding knowledge in the state of the art of ITS applications, services and technologies as well as ITS evaluation, administrational decision making, European ITS policy and tool development as well as in the area of existing ITS deployment deficits throughout Europe. As lack on easy and efficient access to a wide spread ITS knowledge as well as decision making for the deployment are recognised as the key factors for slow down investment on ITS on administration level, a single entry approach for a new ITS toolkit for better decision making has been selected as the most appropriate solution. Key ambition of 2DECIDE is to support both EU ITS policy goals as well as national ITS deployments strategies to gain the utmost benefit of ITS deployment and the related investments for a sustainable road and public transportation system. In this respect 2DECIDE takes also care for an post project operation and maintenance strategy within the form of EASYWAY (TEN-MAP: 2007- 2013).

In aeronautics, gas turbine engines are equipped with lubrication systems whose function is to cool and lubricate the highly loaded rolling bearings and gearboxes. Current lubrication systems are based on architectures and technologies that have not much evolved for the last 30 years and that, despite advances made on components, have reached their technological limit. Future aero-engine requirements cannot be met neither by state-of-the-art lubrication systems nor by incremental improvement. ELUBSYS will design, develop and validate innovative technologies and architectures for aero-engine lubrication systems targeting increased efficiency and reduced cost, mass and engine Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). The primary focus is around new brush seal technologies that offer the potential to improve engine propulsive efficiency by reducing bleed air losses whilst withstanding the aero-engine’s harsh environment. ELUBSYS will investigate the performance and endurance of brush seals; assess their impact on the thermal efficiency of lubrication systems and their external components and on oil quality. A secondary focus is the wider lubrication system including vent, scavenge, bearing chamber modelling and oil behaviour. Main objectives of the project are to: - Reduce engine SFC and related CO2 emissions by reducing by 60% the requirement for bleed air from the engine to seal the bearing chambers and by improving the thermal management of bearing chamber housings and ports - Reduce engine oil consumption by 60% - Optimise the architecture and performance of lubrication systems and thereby reduce their complexity and mass - Develop solutions to improve monitoring of engine oil quality and prevent coking in the lubrication system These goals will be achieved by a European consortium of Industry, Research centres, Academia and SMEs who will develop and validate these new lubrication technologies using modeling approaches and existing state-of-the-art test facilities.

The field of ultracold atom research has grown into a mature area of physics very quickly after its initial successes of laser cooling and the seminal achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic vapors only a few years later. Today, the state of the art in the field is such that applications in a numerous directions are being pursued and/or within reach in many domains. On the one hand, very general questions in physics can be addressed, such as controlled preparation and studies of dynamics of single or few particle quantum systems. On the other hand, technological applications of cold atom systems are being developed, for example in the development of precision measurements based on atomic clocks or atom interferometers. This project will be focused on the use of microscopic traps based on atom chips for precise and spatially highly resolved control of ultracold degenerate and near degenerate quantum gases. The scope of the experimental proposal includes two main research directions that will be closely intertwined from the technical point of view, while aiming at quite different physical goals. The first set of planned experiments will address fundamental questions in general many body physics where the unique possibilities of microscopic trapping and controlling fields near the surface of microchips will be exploited to create specific non-trivial confinement geometries and topologies as well as spatially and temporally varying inter-atomic interactions. The second line of experiments will also be based on the precise and flexible control of cold atoms that is possible near surfaces. However, in this case rather than studying the properties of the atomic systems themselves, the roles will be reversed here, and the atoms will be used to measure processes that happen in the near-by surfaces. In the following, we give specific objectives of the proposed research that are to be pursued along the lines of these two complementary ideas.

The upstream FFAST project addresses the topic Design Systems and Tools (AAT.2008.4.1.1) by developing, implementing and assessing a range of numerical simulation technologies to accelerate future aircraft design. Critical load identification methods and reduced order modelling techniques developed will potentially provide a step change in the efficiency and accuracy of the dynamic aeroelastic “loads process” . Identifying the flight conditions that lead to the maximum loads on aircraft structures and introducing higher fidelity methods at these conditions will reduce the cost and turn around time of the loads process of conventional aircraft. This will lead to significant improvements to product development and manufacture, supporting the ACARE 2020 targets. In addition, innovative designs required for green aircraft can be evaluated more rapidly and at lower risk. Reduced order modelling techniques offer the potential for further step changes in the efficiency of the aeroelastic loads process. These offer the accuracy of high fidelity methods at a cost close to that of the current low fidelity methods. The target for the FFAST project is to demonstrate a speed up of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude over high fidelity methods. To meet this target research will be carried out in work packages to: improve identification of critical loads; develop reduced order modelling strategies for unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic simulation. A work package dedicated to validation and evaluation on a set of industrially relevant test cases will judge the success of the technologies developed and give industry confidence to make the necessary pull-through investment. Strong industrial support of FFAST allows direct exploitation of the results via focused future investment, the solution data base and early release software. The dissemination of FFAST to a wider audience is vital and will be achieved via a website, targeted lectures and workshops, conferences and journal publications.

The TITAN project will analyse the current Turnaround process to detect gaps and to study the influence of external actors, specially the effect of land-side process like passenger flow or baggage handling. A concept shall be defined for this improved process, which will be modeled and validated using the most appropriate platform. Using the validated concept, a decision-making support tool for the airlines will be developed to better manage the incidences that may occur during the turnaround process. TITAN will aim at raising common awareness of the impact of each stakeholder performance, including landside, in the global process performance and stressing the importance of making the conditions of transfer of responsibility among actors much more detailed and explicit.

The ATAAC project aims at improvements to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for aerodynamic flows used in today’s aeronautical industry. The accuracy of these is limited by insufficient capabilities of the turbulence modelling / simulation approaches available, especially at the high Reynolds numbers typical of real-life flows. As LES will not be affordable for such flows in the next 4 decades, ATAAC focuses on approaches below the LES level, namely Differential Reynolds Stress Models (DRSM), advanced Unsteady RANS models (URANS), including Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS), Wall-Modelled LES, and different hybrid RANS-LES coupling schemes, including the latest versions of DES and Embedded LES. The resources of the project will be concentrated exclusively on flows for which the current models fail to provide sufficient accuracy, e.g. in stalled flows, high lift applications, swirling flows (delta wings, trailing vortices), buffet etc. The assessment and improvement process will follow thoroughly conceived roadmaps linking practical goals with corresponding industrial application challenges and with modelling/simulation issues through “stepping stones” represented by appropriate generic test cases. The final goals of ATAAC are: • to recommend one or at most two “best” DRSM for conventional RANS and URANS; • to provide a small set of hybrid RANS-LES and SAS methods that can be used as “reference” turbulence-resolving approaches in future CFD design tools; • to formulate clear indications of areas of applicability and uncertainty of the proposed approaches for aerodynamic applications in industrial CFD. Contributing to reliable industrial CFD tools, ATAAC will have a direct impact on the predictive capabilities in design and optimisation, and directly contribute to the development of Greener Aircraft.
