Results in brief

European Training Network on Sustainable Multi-functional Automated Resilient Transport Infrastructures.

SMARTI (Sustainable Multifunctional Automated Resilient Transport Infrastructures) ETN was a 4-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network (ETN) with the overall aim to set up a multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral network in order to form a new generation of engineers versed in SMARTI technologies and to provide, to both academia and industry, the SMARTI Prototypes and Guidelines. In recognising the challenges and embracing the opportunities of the SMARTI vision, the programme adopted a holistic approach to achieve “revolution” not “evolution” in transport infrastructure engineering. Hence, in close consultation with key stakeholders, it was concluded that to achieve long-term benefits it is necessary to shape a large collaborative training-through-research-initiative aiming at educating the professionals able to exploit the SMARTI vision. As a result, the programme achieved the following sub-objectives: • creating a platform where multi-disciplinary training in smartening of transport infrastructure was structured and provided at the graduate level. • providing outstanding opportunities for Transfer of Knowledge, through the fellows and between the transport infrastructure stakeholders and innovators acquainted with smartening of systems • generating the SMARTI Prototypes and Guidelines for early exploitation in Europe and in developing Countries

Project objective

Sustainable Multi-functional Automated Resilient Transport Infrastructures ETN, will bring together a stimulating platform where the stakeholders of the transport infrastructure sector will work alongside world-wide experts in smartening of systems (developers of high-tech sensors, advanced monitoring equipment, automated structures, etc.,) with direct support from the roads, railways and airports managers. This environment will enable talented graduates to conceive the transport infrastructure network of the future and will provide them with world-wide extended training in each of the four pillars supporting the SMARTI vision: designed to last by maximising recycling and minimizing impact (Sustainable), conceived not for transport purposes only and towards optimisation of land use (Multi-functional), equipped for communicating with managers and users, to allow a more intuitive use and a simplified management (Automated), built to be adaptable to natural and anthropogenic hazards (Resilient). The consortium will combine and share expertise to offer advanced scientific training structured into network-wide thematic taught modules combined with original research supported by secondments that will expose fellows to both academia and industry and will also allow them with the possibility to be award with Doctoratus Europeus. The training programme will be enriched by specific modules to support job creation by enabling the fellows with business, entrepreneurship, communication, project management and other transferrable skills. A tailored Dissemination strategy will evaluate the variety of channels and means appropriate to allow the fellows to be prepared and successful in reaching both scientific and larger public audiences. As a result, SMARTI ETN will create a new generation of highly-skilled and appealing professionals that will be in great demand in this rapidly expanding field and will benefit Europe and developing countries
