Identifying key success factors for sustainable and socially acceptable growth of the European transport industry, in a long-term perspective up to 2050.
How will changes in fuel prices and increased environmental concerns affect the car manufacturers?
How will changes in the global or regional economies impact on the aviation passenger and cargo market?
How could the rail industry change in the next decades, in light of increased urbanization, rising road congestion, and changing mobility demands?
Which innovations (technological and other) may have significant impact on the competitiveness of the European Maritime industries in the decades to come?
RACE2050 foresight study aims to identify key success factors for a sustainable growth of the European Transport industry and for policies which can increase its strength in a long perspective up to 2050. By integrating the tremendous available foresight intelligence into a comparative synopsis, we will be able to compare and assess various visions and especially different policies to reach these goals. The results of this analysis will be discussed with experts from the transport industry, research, policy, and the foresight field. By this, we will come up with weighted explanations and long duree core concepts for a sustainable strength of the European transport industry.
By studying the actual impacts of past foresight studies we will learn how to present our own integrative foresight synopsis and what to expect from transport industry and policy. Important drivers of change will be extracted by analyzing current policies, emerging technologies, energy and environment aspects, demand forces, geopolitical trends and other relevant domains. General Morphological Analysis (GMA) will then be used to integrate and assess a multitude of driving forces for alternative scenarios. Wild Cards analysis will provide additional important input to the final outcomes: novel scenarios for 2030 and 2050 on the competitiveness of the European transport industry. The scenario construction will be supported by a web-based interactive foresight synopsis tool, envisioned to create a long-term legacy for stakeholders, lasting beyond the duration of the project.
RACE2050 foresight study aims to identify key success factors for sustainable growth of the European transport industry and for policies which can increase its strength in a long perspective up to 2050. Lessons from previous foresight studies and visions will help to create novel scenarios for 2030 and 2050 on the competitiveness of the European transport industry, which will enable the European transport industry maintain its leading position in world economy up to 2050. Important drivers of change will be extracted by analyzing current policies, emerging technologies, energy and environment aspects, demand forces, geopolitical trends and other relevant domains. "Wild Cards" analysis will provide additional important inputs. General Morphological Analysis (GMA) will be used to integrate and assess a multitude of driving forces for alternative scenarios.
