  • Abstract: The GReener Aeronautics International Networking (GRAIN) is a 24 month project co-funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Community (EC) and by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). It is managed by the European Commission as a Coordination and Support Action. The main objectives of GRAIN are to identify and assess the future development of large scale simulation methods and tools needed for greener technologies reaching the Vision 2020 environmental goals. GRAIN will prepare the R&T development and exploitation with new large scale simulation tools used on distributed parallel environments to deeper understand and minimize the effects of aircraft/engine design on climate and noise impact. This objective can be met by supporting joint Europe-China networking actions for defining the necessary technologies to improve green aircraft performance.

TraM3

  • Title: TRaffic Management by Macroscopic Models

  • Type: IDEAS

  • Instrument: ERC Starting Grant (Starting)

  • Duration: October 2010 - September 2015

  • Coordinator: INRIA (France)

  • See also: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Paola.Goatin/tram3.html

  • Abstract: The project intends to investigate traffic phenomena from the macroscopic point of view, using models derived from fluid-dynamics consisting in hyperbolic conservation laws. The scope is to develop a rigorous analytical framework and fast and efficient numerical tools for solving optimization and control problems, such as queues lengths control or buildings exits design.

Collaborations in European Programs, except FP7

  • Program: PHC Polonium

  • Project acronym: CROM3

  • Project title: Crowd Motion Modeling and Management

  • Duration: jan. 2011 - dec. 2012

  • Coordinator: P. Goatin (France), M.D. Rosini (Poland)

  • Other partners: ICM, Warsaw University (Poland)

  • Abstract: The aim of this collaboration is to provide new analytical and numerical tools for solving control and optimization problems arising in pedestrian traffic management. Our scope is to develop a rigorous analytical framework and fast and efficient numerical tools for solving optimization and control problems, such as buildings exits design. This will allow to elaborate reliable predictions and to optimize traffic fluxes. To achieve this goal, we will study in details the structure of the solutions of the partial differential equations modeling traffic dynamics, in order to construct ad hoc methods to tackle the analytical and numerical difficulties arising in this study.
