ISHTAR INTEGRATED SOFTWARE FOR HEALTH TRANSPORT EFFICIENCY AND

‘ISHTAR’ ‘INTEGRATED SOFTWARE FOR HEALTH, TRANSPORT EFFICIENCY AND ARTISTIC HERITAGE RECOVERY’ E. NEGRENTI ENEA FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT

…Background FP 4 Projects • DG XII ESTEEM : Models chains for the assessment of urban policies for transport and land use • SAVE II HESAID : modelling of transport impacts on micro-scale (road intersections) • COST 319 Action ‘Transport Emissions’ and DG VII MEET Project (Emission factors for multi modal transport) • DG VII COMMUTE : tool for the assessment of European transport systems 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 2

1. OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES • OBJECTIVE : The aim of ISHTAR Project is to build an advanced software suite for the analysis of the effects of short term actions and long term policies for the quality of the environment, citizens health and safety, preservation of the artistic heritage. 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 4

1. OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES : • multidisciplinary and flexible modelling, • scientific and technical innovation, • maximisation of European Added Value, • link with EU Policies, • Liaison with other related EC Projects, • Users oriented activities. 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 5

2. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL OBJECTIVES I Integration of a relevant number of existing and newly developed software tools I Evolution of modelling techniques in crucial environmental areas : citizens behaviour, vehicle emissions, road safety, exposure and health effects I Creation of integrated modules within the overall Suite (transport module, direct impacts module, dispersion module, overall evaluation module) I Space and Time total flexibility (from 1 road in 1 hour to a network in 1 year) 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 6

3. INNOVATION • FLEXIBLE TRANSPORT ANALYSIS MODULE (PROBABLY 2 TOOLS + ‘OPEN INPUT’ OPTION) • INTEGRATED DIRECT IMPACTS MODULE (EMISSIONS, SAFETY, NOISE) • ADVANCED EMISSIONS SOFTWARE (MORE DATABASES, VEHICLES KINEMATICS, PARKING PROCESS, EMISSIONS DISTRIBUTION) • CITIZENS BEHAVIOUR MODULE • INTEGRATION OF HEALTH AND MONUMENTS DAMAGE 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 7

7. COMMUNITY ADDED VALUE AND CONTRIBUTION TO EU POLICIES (1) EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE Environmental deterioration is a widespread European issue European wide expertise is required Harmonisation of tools to be used for environmental assessment is an agreed target A large European consortium allows wide and meaningful validation and application of tools 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 13

7. COMMUNITY ADDED VALUE AND CONTRIBUTION TO EU POLICIES (2) CONTRIBUTIONS TO EU POLICIES - Community Policy for Environment - Environmental policy in the transport sector - EEA environmental predictions - Sustainable Development : the environmental paradigm across all relevant EU policies (Treaty of Amsterdam) - Kyoto Protocol (1997) : greenhouse gases - Air Quality Framework Directive et al. : monitoring, estimating exposure, define plans, report and inform 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 14

8. CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY SOCIAL OBJECTIVES • The transportation factor : productivity, congestion • Environment, health, safety : air quality, noise, health risks from air pollution, noise and safety • Employment : the growing environmental market (services for managing environmental pollution) • Artistic Heritage : a part of life quality, strategic resource for EU, growing employment opportunity 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 15

9. CONSORTIUM DESCRIPTION • ENEA, ISIS, ASTRAN, STA, Comune di Roma, Provincia di Bologna (I) • University of North London (UK) • APSIS, PHAOS, Min. of Transport & Environment (GR) • INRETS, Mairie de Grenoble, Ville de Paris, CBC, Airparif, ARIA (F) • Graz Technical University (A) • STRATEC (B) • WHO (Roma) 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 16

10. DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF RESULTS • Networks : professional groups and city users groups (from user needs to exploitation) • Conferences and Special Events • Dissemination Material : brochures, Web Site, Final Publishable Report (CD, CORDIS web site) • Technology Implementation Plan 26/12/2021 FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT 17

‘ISHTAR’ In the land of Sumer Ishtar was the goddess of Love and War ! The word means ‘Star’, very close to the English term !… In the cities of ‘yesterday’ (e. g. Babylon) citizens could reach a balance between ‘development’ and ‘environmental quality’ The ‘city of tomorrow’ will be a great life opportunity or a place of increasing conflicts from where to leave ? The answer depends on the commitment of us all ! FP 5 EESD ISHTAR PROJECT
