Evaluation of the White Paper ‘Roadmap to a single European transport area – towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’
European Commission
DG MOVE
The purpose of the evaluation was to provide a robust evidence-based assessment of the 2011 White Paper on transport and the actions following from it since its adoption in 2011. It examines the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and EU added value of the White Paper in line with the Better Regulation Guidelines.
Claudia coordinated the activities on the mid-term evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategy and on the stakeholders’ consultation.
The study focused on getting a better understanding of the impacts on work and employment in the transport sector resulting from the introduction of vehicles with connected and autonomous driving (CAD).
Claudia coordinated the activities on the design and development of four explorative scenarios considering different levels of penetration of CAD vehicles and the evaluation of transport impacts by the European scale modelling tool ASTRA (by TRT).

Evaluation of noise differentiated track access charge schemes
European Commission
DG MOVE
The study provided insight on the performance of Regulation 2015/429 on Noise Differentiated Track Access Charge (NDTAC) schemes and its impacts in the EU.
Claudia coordinated the activities on the development of the baseline scenario and on assessing the effectiveness of the Regulation on the basis of evidence collected from desk research and stakeholders’ consultation.
The project provided technical assistance for the development of the 2017 TEN-T (Roads) Performance report, a biannual report issued by CEDR on the performance of the TEN-T road network. It also developed web applications to display thematic maps showing road KPI and to collect and visualize KPI in real time.
Claudia led the project and provided key expertise on data collection, analysis, and GIS mapping.

Research project intended to explore the concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS). In this concept the mobility integrator (MaaS Operator) brings together different mobility service providers (Mobility Service Provider) and provides the end-users with access to an integrated digital interface (MaaS4EU Mobility Platform), allowing them to plan and pay for their trips in a one-stop-shop.
Claudia provided support to the design of the Business Models of 3 pilots and to the analysis of the legal and policy framework enabling the MaaS ecosystems.

TRIP Transport Research and Innovation Portal - Collection, analysis and dissemination of project results and research programmes from across Europe
European Commission
DG MOVE
TRIP was the most comprehensive public portal with information on transport research activities in Europe. It showcases details on more than 10.500 projects and information on more than 400 European, national and international transport research programmes.
TRIP is now integrated into the portal TRIMIS (Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System) that provides support to the implementation and monitoring of the Strategic Transport Research and Innovation Agendas (STRIAs). Claudia contributed to the development of Research Theme Analysis Reports, to the update of existing research projects and programmes as well as to search and produce contents for new transport research projects and programmes at national level.
The project developed the URM2030 model, an on-line tool designed to help authorities of small and medium-sized cities in analysing the impacts of sustainable urban transport policies. Along with the model, the study developed roadmaps with different packages of measures that could be implemented until 2030 to achieve the goals of sustainable urban transport indicated in the 2011 White Paper on Transport of the European Commission.
Claudia provided key expertise in the development of the roadmaps and in the assessment of transport policies.
