user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Sustainable Mobility and Robust Transportation' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Traffic Congestion has several effects on travelers, businesses, agencies, and cities. Congestion costs Europe about 1% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) every year.Transportation networks are complex and large-scale dynamic systems with uncertainties. Efficient traffic control and management of large-scale transportation networks still remain a challenge both for traffic researchers and practitioners.Our main objective in this project is to develop smart transportation systems for large-scale traffic networks that aim at minimizing network delays and increasing sustainable mobility and accessibility, with the help of feeded data from advanced sensor and information technologies. To achieve this goal, we will develop a new interdisciplinary research approach that combines and fuses research areas developed in different fields in traffic theory, control theory, optimal control, optimization, big data mining and fusing, and estimation theory.The SMART project is unique in several aspects, as it is an interdisciplinary research and it is expected to make advances in the state of the art in different directions: (i) Developing a hierarchical scheme of integrated modeling and control for the intersection and network levels. (ii) Developing efficient control strategies that are robust under uncertainties. (iii) Developing implementable real time control based on feeded information for both levels including the monitoring and estimation procedures. (iv) A real field study implementation.We believe that the new interdisciplinary approach will result in a better understanding of complex and congested cities, and will allow integrating traffic control and management approaches to generate smart cities that are more livable and sustainable. The operational deployment of such smart n

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The function of stereotyped calls of killer whales: a comparative approach' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Killer whales rely extensively on sound for communication and orientation, and some populations have developed complex repertoires of calls that are transmitted between individuals through vocal learning The ability to modify sounds through learning and experience is rare among mammals and complex vocal learning skills have thus far only been documented in humans, bats, pinnipeds, and cetaceans.Our knowledge about the precise function of killer whale vocal communication, as well as its intended recipients, is currently extremely limited. Call repertoires convey information about population identity and in some cases kinship, but whether free-ranging killer whales actually use this information in behavioural decisions remains unknown.This currently makes it extremely difficult to determine why killer whales have evolved complex vocal repertoires and abilities for vocal learning and ultimately what the reasons for the evolution of vocal learning are. I propose to conduct a 2 year study of killer whales in European waters (Scotland and Norway). I plan to measure the loudness of killer whale calls to determine the distance over which they can be detected by potential recipients.If calls function as contact calls, they should be audible over substantial distances whereas if they primarily function in communication within a foraging group, they may only be audible over a few hundred metres.In addition I plan to use playbacks to test whether killer whales respond differently to the calls of familiar and unfamiliar social groups. Finally I plan to test whether food-associated calls attract other killer whales to a foraging site by conducting playbacks of such sounds to free-ranging killer whales.The proposed study will shed light on the function of vocal behaviour i n populatio

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Integrated proceSsing and controL systems fOr sustainable forest Production in mountain arEas' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Mountains in Europe occupy ~35% of the land area and are mostly covered by forests.Forestry operations in mountain areas are seldom performed by the harvester/forwarder system, being the sector still characterized by manual felling and extraction of timber by cable cranes. Due to the limits posed by steep terrain conditions, poor road network of mountain areas, limited storage and operational room, harvesting and extracting systems are more expensive and less flexible compared to the cut-to-length systems based on wheeled machines, commonly found in flatland forests of EU Nordic Countries.Powerful and intelligent machines must be developed for forest works in steep terrain. This is the gap that SLOPE will try to fill in by developing an integrated system, from forest information system to logistic transportation, that allows optimization of the forest production in mountain areas.The project will integrate information from remote sensing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and on-field surveying systems, to support macro and local analysis to characterize forest resources. Spatial information will be integrated with multi-sensor data in a model for Sustainable Forest Management and for optimization of logistics during forest operations.Intelligent technologies will be integrated in the cable crane/processor head to measure different data for the assessment of the assortment variety. Different Non-Destructive Testing methods, as well as pioneering chemometric analysis, will be tested during the project. Different traceability systems will be coupled to chemometric data, to trace the material, from the site throughout the supply chain.Information about material origin, quality and availability will be integrated in a unique system, accessible online and available in real time

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'FAST and efficient international disaster victim IDentification' (FASTID).

assistant: **Innovation**

An information management and decision support system for improved disaster victim identification (DVI) will be developed for crisis management. The system will speed up the correct identification of the injured and dead following disasters with multi-national victims Training methods for optimal DVI with the system will also be developed. The computer supported methodology will consist of a system to be used world wide which will provide automatic matching between missing persons and those discovered injured or dead. An expert will however still make the final confirmation given the seriousness of this task. The system and training methods will incorporate full consideration of different national, religious and cultural considerations of how to deal with the injured and dead as well as how best to name different identifiers used to match missing and found persons to optimise international cooperation. The system will support information sharing and cooperative planning across organisations and nations, also dynamically in an ongoing crisis. It will provide improvement with respect to performance, reliability, speed and cost. The project has been initiated by INTERPOL and the BKA (German Federal Criminal Police Office) after identifying PLASSDATA software as a good basis to start development. PLASSDATA will develop the core DVI system, two Fraunhofer Institutes and the University of Dundee will develop identification methods based on image retrieval and body modifications. Dundee will also lead the development of international operational commonality. Crabbe Consulting Ltd will support overall management and coordination. The results will be used by INTERPOL and as many of its 187 national member countries as possible. PLASSDATA foresees a return on its investment throu

user: Explain how 'The NEON (Network of European Observatories in the North) astronomical observing school' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The active observatories within the NEON consortium ( Asiago, Calar Alto, Haute-Provence and LaPalma Observatories) are proposing, together with ESO (European Southern Observatory), to increase the efficiency of astronomical observations, by providing trai ning directly at the telescope for young researchers or PhD students with little or no previous observational experience. This is done by proposing real observing programs, to be executed in small groups, under the supervision of experienced observers (tut ors), and conducted from the initial definition of the program (including instrument needs and set-up), through the observations themselves, the data reduction, and the final presentation of the scientific results. The fundamentals are presented in lect ures given by experts in the field. The schools are held successively, and in turn, in each of the participating observatories, allowing fruitful exchanges of experience, leading to improved observing techniques and possibly coordinated software developmen ts. In addition to schools directly at the telescope, it will also propose shorter events, with all the technical training, but based on the use of archival data.The participation of young researchers from various European countries will lead, as shown by past experience, to many collaborative projects in the future. It will prepare them to successful applications to, and efficient use of, the forefront instruments like the VLT or space observatories. This is particularly important for scientists from th e accessing countries (or the NIS), which generally do not have direct access to high-level observing facilities.

user: Describe how 'Tracking the Effects of Amyloid and Tau Pathology on Brain Systems and Cognition in Early Alzheimer’s Disease' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a tremendous burden and there are still no therapies available. Most clinical trials have focused on the late disease stages where neuronal damage is already severe and irreversible. To intervene in earlier stages, it is essential to understand how AD pathology affects brain systems early in the disease. Beyond that, we need better markers to identify individuals at an early asymptomatic stage that will likely deteriorate in the coming years as well as measures of treatment response to assess the benefit of a treatment.I focus on two functional brain systems that are critical for memory in humans and are very early affected by AD pathology. With the powerful and novel combination of positron-emission-tomography and ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging, I will unravel the early effects of AD pathology on brain connectivity and activity, grey matter loss and memory function within both brain systems. I will use a pseudo-longitudinal design to study changes in brain system integrity and memory during disease progression in the very early stages of AD. To identify predictive markers of progression, I will use monthly repeated smartphone-based assessments throughout one year to i) define cognitive trajectories of individual memory decline, ii) characterize stage-specific decline rates, and ii) determine the best cognitive and imaging markers for prediction of cognitive decline.Taken together, this proposal will result in a more profound understanding of the earliest stages of AD and provide novel markers that will improve patient selection as well as assessment of treatment response in future clinical AD trials. This will advance the development of new disease-modifying therapies and early clinical diagnosis. Importantly, realizing this prop

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'NOx-Mitigation Technology for Retrofitting Diesel Engines' (NOXTEK).

assistant: **Concept**

Alsitek Limited works on the commercialization of an innovative polymer-foam filter system for mitigating more than 85% of NOx emissions from diesel engines. The aim of the Phase 1 project is to confirm the technical feasibility and commercial potential of this ground-breaking retrofit technology to ensure a smooth transition towards a fossil-fuel-free economy in Europe. The current concerns about the health effects of vehicle emissions and the scandal around manipulated diesel engine emissions in passenger cars shows there is a need for disruptive and timely solutions. The Alsitek NOXTEK solution is a retrofit technology that goes beyond the current state of the art in terms of NOx mitigation (over 85%), with the capability to absorb large amounts of NOx over long time and excellent regeneration capabilities. NOXTEK meets several end-user needs in the diesel passenger cars market, including (i) an efficient NOx-mitigation solution to ensure compliance with the tightening environmental regulations (ii) the need for an ergonomic retrofit solution not affecting the warranties of the car’s subsystems and components (iii) a solution that can be applied in a de-centralized manner by technically adept end-users or at service points. The product is expected to be 78% more cost-effective than available retrofit solutions. Alsitek aims to target the diesel passenger car aftersales market first (to be confirmed in Phase 1). Adjacent markets to be targeted include diesel engine applications in low and heavy-duty vehicles, marine vessels and peaking power plants. NOXTEK is expected to save 6.2 tons of NOx emissions annually from the fifth year after market entry, which is an equivalent of 1847,6 tons of CO2. The Phase 1 work will focus on confirming the priority market for commerci

user: Describe how 'Multi-scale Observation and Monitoring of railway Infrastructure Threats' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The MOMIT project will develop innovative products and solutions supporting the maintenance process of railway infrastructures. MOMIT concept is based on the exploitation of unmanned technologies as Earth Observation satellites and RPAS-borne sensors. Starting from collected data analysis, MOMIT will bring at cutting edge level the remote sensing technology: developing advanced post processing chains, data fusion, automation, defining new indicators from estimated parameters, MOMIT will design new operational workflows able to support intelligent asset management.  MOMIT will adopt a multi scale approach: Satellite and RPAS data will be combined in order to maximize their benefits and characteristics. A first overall analysis (with satellite and over long sections) will guide the detailed analysis and trigger specific preventive actions. Thus, maintenance activities are guided by this combined analysis with a general optimization of resources.Effectiveness and efficiency of proposed solutions will be demonstrated by six main application cases, validated in a real operational environment: - Ground movements: interferometry derived by SAR satellite data analysis will adopt to define tools and indicators supporting the user for detailed analysis and preventive actions planning- Hydraulic activities: a combination of optical and radar satellite data will be used to monitor soil moisture and water bodies close to the track - Natural hazards: anomalies along the track related to natural phenomena (as vegetation growth) will be monitored by the use of satellite data.- Electrical system: RPASs will be equipped with innovative sensors to monitor electrical effects  impacting on the infrastructure efficiency- Civil engineering structures: a combination of satellite  and RPAS data
