Objective
The main objective of the ENTIRE project is to demonstrate the benefits that can be obtained by the use of innovative technology to improve the movement of people by transport in the urban and suburban areas; the project will focus on co-operative efforts to improve accessibility for citizens to their necessary activities through integrated actions in planning, transportation and information technology, reversing past tendencies to increase personal mobility for access to ever more dispersed activities.
ENTIRE is lead by local authorities and public transport operators from eight sites, and will address the problem which is common to all our cities and is familiar to most of our citizens : the degradation of the quality of life through traffic congestion and reduced mobility and accessibility due to inefficient transport modes consuming large amounts of energy while creating large amounts of pollution.
The project will lead to energy savings and other environmental benefits through a reduction in vehicle kilometres, greater fuel economy, and the use of alternative fuels.This will act as a means of progressing towards a sustainable transport system as an integral part of urban planning.
The ENTIRE project represents the opportunity afforded by the Thermie programme to extend current urban transport initiatives which are focused on improving private and public transportation systems in urban areas on a common European basis. In particuliar, the application of developed technologies in an integrated approach will lead to a determination of the energy and environmental benefits in the cities involved in the project and implementation of measures through practical technology exchange to other cities. Particular emphasis is put on the demonstration of practical improvements of the energy and emission balance through the integration of urban planning and transport management.
The work will be undertaken by local project teams working concurrently in the participating cities. The project will demonstrate the amount of technical and economic improvements that can actually be achieved in the energy efficiency of advanced private and public transport systems.
The applications are allocated to three work areas in order to ensure that results and ideas are disseminated throughout the cities involved in the project. The work areas are :
- 1. Vehicle Technology and Alternative Fuels
- 2. Improved Urban Transport Systems
- 3. Urban Planning Schemes
Integrated Quality is achieved on city level by collateral/collective effects from packages of different measures, with the evaluation of energy savings and emission reductions being an integral element of the local applications. Both evaluation and dissemination activities are co-ordinated in close concertation between the project partners. This is of utmost importance in order to ensure a credible cross-site comparison of the demonstrated technologies and their experiences to other European cities. high-level political support guarantees the implementation of the envisaged technologies on a large scale with actual improvements for citizens across Europe.
