Future Reference scenarios and barriers 

Abstract

X-TEAM D2D project aims at defining, developing and initially validating a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for the seamless integration of ATM and Air Transport into an overall intermodal network, including other available transportation means (surface, water), to contribute to the ACARE SRIA FlightPath 2050 goal. X-TEAM D2D project aims contributing to this goal by providing and preliminarily validating a ConOps for seamless door-to-door mobility in urban and suburban (up to regional) environment, i.e., X-TEAM D2D target scenario addresses the connection of a big metropolis with the surrounding area (up to country-wide level).
The project is focused on the consideration of ConOps for ATM integration in intermodal transport network serving Urban and Extended Urban mobility, taking into account the transportation and passengers service scenarios envisaged for the next decades, according to baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final (2050) time horizons.
The target ConOps will encompass both the transportation platforms integration concepts and the innovative seamless Mobility as a Service (MaaS) including ATM concepts. The ConOps will be preliminarily evaluated against already existing and specifically defined applicable KPAs and KPIs, implementing both qualitative and quantitative performances assessment approach. The X-TEAM D2D project will develop a simulation-based platform for validating the proposed concept, considering the most relevant elements of the transport in the future such as interfaces mode-mode, high-level network model, passenger-centric paradigm. This deliverable entitled Future Reference Scenarios and Barriers is aiming at definition and description of crucial specifications of systemic environment in which future integrated metropolitan and regional transport would operate. It will be a foundation for definition of Concept of operation defining role of ATM and air transport in three considered time perspectives: 2025, 2035 and 2050. Both in terms of physical and informational dimension. The deliverable consists of four main parts corresponding to the tasks in WP2
Future Scenarios and Barriers:
– Chapter 3 Reference Scenario Definition. Task 2.1: Urban and suburban mobility reference scenarios
Definition of reference scenarios reflecting dominating trends in urban and suburban mobility;
– Chapter 4 Technologies for urban/suburban mobility. Task 2.2 of the same title. Analysis aiming at identification and evaluation of new technologies related to transport modes representing potential to significantly impact the intermodal mobility of people in three time horizons;
– Chapter 5 Use Cases. Task 2.3 of the same title. Identification of specific use cases for the intermodal transport system including ATM and air transport with reference to the three considered timelines (2025, 2035, 2050);
– Chapter 6 Barriers against 2D and air transport integration. Task 2.4 of the same title. Identification of barriers disabling efficient integration of vertical and surface modes of transport.
