Workshop on Infrastructures
Sustainable Infrastructure for Efficient Mobility: the Key Challenges
Luc BourdeauECTP Secretary General
Industrial Technologies 2012Aarhus, 19 June 2012
Major ContextIssues
Infrastructure has a high economic and social value An ageing infrastructure «Transport 2050» for a competitive transport system that will increase mobility and remove major barriers and bottlenecks in many key areas across the fields of transport, infrastructure and investment, innovation and internal market.
New model of SMART, GREEN, CHEAP Infrastructure Networks
2
Urban population Passengers and goods volume Transport decarbonisation Impact of climate change Energy efficiency performance
of vehicles across all modes Optimising the performance of
multimodal logistic chains Using transport and
infrastructure more efficiently through the use of improved traffic management and information systems
Moving close to zero fatalities in road transport

Inclusive services at all times
5
Undisrupted service offered by trans-European infrastructure network is vital for Europe’s ability to compete in the world, for economic growth, job creation and for people’s everyday quality of life.
Delayed action and timid introduction of new technologies can condemn the EU infrastructures sector to irreversible decline.
Inclusive services at all times
6
Economical impact Avoiding bottlenecks in key freight corridors and
especially in cross border sections Increased level of service and operation Improved integration of long distance transport
with the urban and periurban context System preservation to maintain infrastrucutres in
good repair
Inclusive services at all times
7
Economical impact Social impact
Every people have access to the infrastructure services and facilities
Requirement to cater for users with various needs (disabled people, minority ethnic communities, elderly people, children and young people, faith groups)
Inclusive services at all times
8
Economical impact Social impact Quality of life
Reliability and predictability of mobility of goods and passengers
Less degree of congestion Less failure frequency and duration Less time lost to maintenance,
repair, reconstruction and incidents Noise reduction Additionally, undisrupted mobility
contributes towards greater European integration
Inclusive services at all times
9
Economical impact Social impact Quality of life Job creation
Maintenance, repair and reconstruction works to guarantee services at all times will:
generate employment for construction workers demand adapted construction material require new technological components and services
Inclusive services at all times
10
Economical impact Social impact Quality of life Job creation Safety
Highly efficient management and operation of infrastructure networks using the latest technologies
Inclusive services at all times
11
Economical impact Social impact Quality of life Job creation Safety Environmental impact
Reduction of impacts Less public space occupation Less impact on natural assets (water, land, ecosystems) Less embodied energy, emissions footprint, non-reused
structures…
Inclusive services at all times
12
Economical impact Social impact Quality of life Job creation Safety Environmental impact Liveability
Decreasing fuel consumption through reducing congestion will improve the air quality, decrease noise, contribute to the protection of natural habitats
Trends: increasing importance of ageing of the population, needs for public transport, availability of information over travelling time and routing alternatives…
Environmentally Friendly Infrastructures
13
As a consequence of their huge size and very long lifetime, the environmental impact of Infrastructure Networks is enormous.
Impacts occur: At all stages of infrastructure lifetime (construction,
service life, maintenance, upgrade, demolition) At many different levels: energy, raw materials,
nuisances (noise, vibration pollution of air and groundwater), land occupation, waste generation…
Challenges are to reduce the environmental impact of Infrastructures Networks, to reduce their consumption of land and natural resources, and to reduce their consumption of energy.
Environmentally Friendly Infrastructures
14
Reduction of environmental impact Develop and implement a LCA approach Develop innovative specific technology solutions
to decrease negative environmental impact noise vibration air and (ground)water pollution GHG emissions
Environmentally Friendly Infrastructures
15
Reduction of environmental impact Resource-efficient infrastructure
Existing Infrastructure Networks must be completed and upgraded, to ensure adequate transport capacity. It is necessary to minimise the amount of natural resources involved in this process as well as associate waste. This requires:
Best practices Waste management policies Using more alternative, locally available, natural minerals …
Environmentally Friendly Infrastructures
16
Reduction of environmental impact Resource-efficient infrastructure Energy-efficient infrastructure
Transport generates high energy consumption as well as GHG.
Apart from improving energy efficiency of transport means, the energy efficiency of infrastructure requires improvement since it also have a huge impact on energy consumption.
To adapt to new types of rolling equipment, to develop new uses of infrastructure, new regulations.

Reduction of environmental impact Resource-efficient infrastructure Energy-efficient infrastructure Resilience to Climate change
Infrastructure needs to cope with new and increased risks from natural hazards, including rising sea levels

Long Distance CorridorRAIL
Main focus: development and future generalisation of High-speed train networks for passengers and freight
Target: A European cross-disciplinary framework is developed for the fast development and deployment of high-speed lines with:• very high speed tracks – including ballast-less tracks• adapted catenaries• adapted switches and crossings
KPIs:• Smart: overall number of transported passengers and fright trasnport
increased by 30% by 2030• Green: noise generated by high-speed lines decreased by 20% by
2030• Cheap: furtive maintenance works are generalised by 2030; new
supply-chain allowing for +50% life time extension
