Conceptually, the CO-ACTIVE project addresses the general enrichment of the ‘one-stop-shop’ capability as initiated in the IT2Rail project and further completes the scope of functionality by addressing post-sale business transactions, and an underlying payment-settlement solution for comodally retailed products and services. This provides the opportunity to focus specifically on those aspects of comodality whose level of customer-perceived risk discourages the advance purchase of comodal travel entitlements: · Enhancing the technical facilitation of a one-stop-shop capability, to enable comprehensive choice of offers from modes/operators able to respond to customer mobility queries, especially through the data structuration. · Research into the different possibilities for managing retailer-TSP settlement in order to simplify/rationalise integration, for retailers, of today’s multiple (mode/operator) settlement system infrastructures which itself represents a constraint for the funnelling of multiple-TSP content to 3rd party retailer outlets; this includes demonstration of a retailer ‘merchant’ model/approach. · Analysis of potential automation and orchestration (where identified by research) based on the information of previously generated travel entitlements, for the purposes of enabling the processing of cancellations, ticket exchanges and refunds in accordance with TSP business rules and revenue management policies, as well as in accordance with the needs of the customer when Trip Tracker determines that re-accommodation services are required to ensure arrival at final destination.

PLASA represents the 1st proposal of the Shift2Rail members referred, according to MAAP, to the following Work Areas within the Cross Cutting Activities: - WA 3.1: Safety - WA 4.1: Smart Planning The PLASA project aims at significantly increasing customer experience and system robustness in the European rail sector. On the one hand, it improves planning activities of various stakeholders in the railway system by means of precise railway simulation and, on the other hand, it provides a methodology to manage the safety of the railway system based on risk assessment. This will be achieved by an holistic approach involving partners of the rail industry, the operators and universities.

Arsenic in agricultural soils and water, and its subsequent entering into the food chain cause potential risk to human health and to aquatic and soil organisms. AgriAs addresses the global problem of water and soil pollution by arsenic from multidisciplinary perspective and highlights the needs of sustainable development and healthy food chain. The main objective of AgriAs is to evaluate and manage European risks of As exposure through agriculture, providing a complete summary of efficient tools available for As remediation as well as an array of tools for ecotoxicity evaluation that will help stakeholders and decision makers to manage As contamination. In order to accomplish this, the project will build on existing knowledge by using comprehensive national and European databases, developing and testing new technologies and carries out risk monitoring. Particular attention will be paid to demonstration and dissemination of project deliverables in close interaction with stakeholders, end-users and policy-makers. The project team has a wide international network and numerous international projects on-going for arsenic studies. The results of the project have potential for commercial exploitation and new job creation especially in water and soil treatment. The results and the new knowledge can be utilized also by the SMEs, especially in the generation of bio-indicators, new fertilizers and soil-conditioners. This research proposal complements the strategic priorities in Water RDI, such as sustainable ecosystems, safe water for citizens, and water-wise bioeconomy.

Coordination and demonstration embracing all areas of IP4 and targets aiming to assist support ensure and promote a common technical approach across the IP4 to allow integrated and coherent Technical Demonstrations as outlined on Shift2Rail master plan. Te objective will be achieved through different activities involving and promoting the collaborative participation of associated projects (for members of Shit2Rail and from open calls) and the partners involved, through the close technical interface with the different projects and the coordination of the integration activities activities to support and achieve consistency and convergence amongst the different projects, feeding a reliable set of technical packages.
