1. WHAT IS THE E18 GREEN MOTORWAY?WHAT IS E18?

E18 is a Northern European route (1890 km) from Craigavon in the United Kingdom to Saint Petersburg in Russia, passing through Norway, Sweden, and Finland. E18 continues as E105 from Saint Petersburg to Moscow and further to Crimean peninsula.

E18 is Finland’s most significant road connection internationally and it is part of EU’s TEN-T transport infrastructure.

In Finland, E18 is a road connection from the ports of Turku and Naantali in southwest Finland through the Helsinki metropolitan area to the Vaalimaa border crossing (Naantali–Turku–Salo–Lohja–Helsinki–Porvoo–Loviisa–Kotka–Hamina–Vaalimaa).

At Russian side E18 goes along the Russian route M10 from Finnish border to Saint Petersburg.

• The concept of the chain of infrastructure nodes is comprised of green transportation, business and energy corridors, the EU–Russian border and urban area zones and their interfaces.

• The chain promotes transportation intermodality and supporting infrastructure: e.g. ports, railway, roads, telecommunications.

• The chain of nodes defines a framework consisting all elements from comprehensive systems to individual development initiatives and focuses especially on public and private supply and demand including all corridor related investments and spending. The framework indicates the business potential of Green Motorway infrastructure, markets and services.

• The border between the EU and Russia opens up possibilities to promote business and tourism as well as expand economic and governance co-operation, e.g. in terms of EU’s interoperability initiatives over EU boundaries.

• One of the key targets of E18 GMW is to promote cross-border and regional business: imports, exports, tourism, agriculture, education, etc.

• The green corridor creates a sustainable marketplace for services and infrastructure, e.g. for border transit advancements.

• In essence, the corridor promotes productivity, innovation and new business.

• The test bed creates a platform for experimentation of especially new technologies by equipping certain parts of the road with enabling technologies, such as sensors and tubing.

• Already, the E18 GMW initiative has identified numerous development initiatives during the last two years that can be further developed and tested in test bed environment. Possible innovations of E18 GMW are shown in Appendix A.

• E18 will form a main motorway test bed in Finland.

• Living lab is a user-centric, open-innovation ecosystem for developing service and system innovations.

• The E18 GMW living lab extends across the EU–Russian border to promote interoperability in services, governance and technology.

• The living lab mashes up co-operating partners with well-matched visions, aligned priorities and focused objectives.

• The living lab gathers separate development projects into a project portfolio consisting of ecological, energy efficiency, smart and intelligence, safety and interoperability initiatives.

• Besides national innovation, the system is open for innovations coming from e.g. international living labs meeting the targets of balanced sustainability.

• The means to achieve the E18 GMW’s sustainable targets are open for innovation, if possible, frugal ones.

• The target to maximise the common good is set by a transparent and democratic dialogue between the stakeholders of the corridor.

• The E18 GMW initiative provides a political context for dialogue between the EU and Russia as well as between the development initiatives.

• The green charter defines the activities for common good and sustainability in the E18 GMW environment. The common good is defined as balanced sustainability of social, environmental and economical factors maximising the value of the system.

• The green charted describes the E18 GMW environment as • a real market place for border transit boundary advancements• a development project portfolio to consist of ecological, energy efficiency,

3. THE E18 GREEN MOTORWAY INITIATIVE CONTENTSSHOK INITIATIVE: RATIONALE AND PREREQUISITES FOR THE E18 GMW INITIATIVE

The current structures in infrastructure related R&D have not lead to successful service implementations. Focusing on pilot projects only expands the current, non-service-creating, R&D market further for research institutions and

universities without focusing on the root causes that result in the undesirable outcomes. The bottom-up R&D approach in the case of development initiatives, i.e. a zoo-like collection of discrete ideas, remains inhibiting the comprehensive service market creation.

The E18 Green Motorway pre-study concluded that service markets can be created by a top-down programme lead by the strategic centres for science, technology and innovation (SHOKs), if:

1. The transportation, business and energy corridors, the EU–Russian border and urban area zones and their interfaces are understood as a systemic infrastructure chain of nodes (the system).

2. The system ought to possess the ability to create common good and yet its present value needs to be quantifiable3. The system, i.e. the common good created, have a measurable, although stochastic, value that provides the basis for a

target setting and analysis of the development.4. The system, its properties and the behaviour of its actors can be understood and measured at systemic level, though

being non-linear and in details highly unpredictable. 5. The target to maximise the common good is set by a transparent and democratic dialogue between the stakeholders of

the corridor.6. The common good is defined as balanced sustainability of social, environmental and economical factors maximising the

value of the system.7. The means to achieve the targets are open for innovation – if/when possible, frugal innovation should be preferred.8. The definition of targets and balance sustainability is catalysed by a dialogue in the E18 Green Motorway living lab.9. Besides national innovation, the system is open for innovations coming from e.g. international living labs meeting the

targets of balanced sustainability. 10. The service market creation is enabled by a balanced set of companies, resources, infrastructure, customers, regulation

and incentives leading to productivity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Therefore, e.g. planning and zoning alone cannot create the markets, although, they play a major role in defining the market boundaries and the role of the incentives.

4. E18 GREEN MOTORWAY INITIATIVE ROADMAPPIARC 2011 IN MEXICO CITY AND OTHER CONGRESSES

E18 Green Motorway initiative will be presented in World Road Congress (PIARC) in Mexico City in 26–30 September 2011 in the Finnish Transport Agency’s corner of the Nordic department.

The goal of the congress is to make “an open invitation to infrastructure living lab network creation” to the participants, i.e. to network with prospective parties or similar projects.

PIARC 2011 is the first congress in a series to introduce E18 GMW initiative globally:

– PIARC, Mexico, 2011: publicity and invitation to co-operation– ITS World, Vienna, 2012: international co-operation agreements– ITS European Congress, Helsinki 2014: exhibition of E18 Green

Motorway results– PIARC, South Korea, 2015: next development phase

The companies in the E18 GMW consortium are invited to participate the congress with the FTA.



5. E18 GREEN MOTORWAYSUMMARY

Motorways require billion-euro investments. The key point is how to convert these investments into the common good: innovation, productivity and new business?

The E18 Green Motorway initiative builds a green corridor for transportation, environment, business and interoperability and defines the infrastructure and balanced sustainability concept of future motorways.

By forming a E18 Green Motorway living-lab and test-bed environments, the E18 Green Motorway initiative catalyses open dialogue between all E18 stakeholders – both public and private, Finnish and Russian, European and local, urban and rural – to innovate the means to achieve the motorway’s sustainable targets.

Since similar motorway ecosystem development initiatives do not yet exist, the E18 Green Motorway initiative will have a leading European portfolio of development projects in suitable services and technologies.



6. E18 GREEN MOTORWAYNEXT STEPS (SHORT-TERM)

Concept project successfully reached its target and defined the next step to be the quantification of the corridors present sosioeconomic value.

One approach to achieve the necessary tangible data of the current value (E18 corridor) would be to initiate a joint-project with MIT and Stevens Institute of Technology, whom already have a framework (CLIOS) in place that could be applied to the E18 business corridor platform (living lab).

E18 corridor between Russia and the EU creates a complex environment that is exceedingly challenging to quantify with approaches due to the interoperability challenge between EU and Russia, and also due to the long-lived effects (in both risks and opportunities).

E18 impacts a geographically large market area, thus it is imperative to create an international living lab platform that is able to secure the interest of both ITS Finland and ITS Russia for a joint project.

The concept project effectively identified the strategic centres for science, technology and innovation for the built environment and the ICT sector (RYM and TIVIT) to be the foundation where a private sector lead ITS platform could flourish, if it secures the sponsorship from the Ministry of Transport and Communication.
