Choices for Future of Freight • More trucks • More roads • Bigger trucks • More trains • Grow local! • Or think outside the box Future of Freight • Road infrastructure is only 9% of freight cost – why not consider ‘monster-trucks’ and/or overhead power? Future of Freight • Germany is already tolling by number-of-axles. It’s a small step to toll-by-weight • Australia is allowing heavier trucks and, in return, is monitoring route, speed and mass compliance. • Toowoomba to Port of Brisbane – 100% increase in productivity & 50% fewer trucks; 40% reduction in emissions 2nd September 2015 Activities in Ireland Group Egis in Ireland The Group Egis has been active since the late 1990s in Ireland: During the 1990s, it provided some advisory work for National Toll Roads (NTR) in respect of their concession projects (East and West Link) and provided engineering services to the National Road Authority (NRA) It participated in the PPP-Program for toll roads launched by the NRA in 2001 together with Balfour Beatty, Carillion and Atkins (ErinRoute) with roles as sponsor, FOE system supplier, O&M Operator and Designer.

Planning Regulator Issues Paper and Consultation Strategy The OPR agrees that it is essential for the plan to respond to the challenges arising from the impacts of the Covid‐19 pandemic, Brexit and Climate Change. The Issues Paper is commended for being concise, thematic, including key achievement and using infographics. The variety of methods used to inform and engage the public is commended (FAQs, virtual meetings, social media, and youth photographic competition). The youth engagement is particularly positive. Core Strategy & Settlement Strategy The NPF, RSES and SPPRs in Section 28 Guidelines will be key determinants in making the Core Strategy. NPF population targets for County Kildare represents an increase of 31,500 people by 2026 and up to 44,000 by 2031. Adjustments should also be included for the Metropolitan Key Town of Maynooth (NPO 68).

    Template for Reporting Evaluation Results (Short) Project Reference: IE-01 Project Name: MIU ITS Deployment ITS Corridor: Arc Atlantique Project Location: M7, M8, M11, M18 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY THE PROJECT 1.1 Nature of the Site The MIU ITS Deployment encompasses the deployment of a Journey Time Data Collections technologies and Variable Message Signs on motorways located on the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive networks. The ITS deployment occurred on the following four major inter-urbans in Ireland: M7 – The M7 (E20) forms part of the Dublin to Limerick national primary road. The M7 is 186 km in length and the longest motorway in Ireland M8 – The M8 motorway is an inter-urban motorway which forms part of the motorway from the Dublin to Cork. The M8 is 149 km in length and motorway commences County Laois at the motorway interchange with the M7. M11 - The M11 motorway is an inter-urban motorway forming part of the national primary route from Dublin to Wexford. The national primary route is 134km in length and continues to Rosslare as the N25. The road forms part of European route E01. M18 - The M18 motorway is an inter-urban motorway linking the cities of Limerick and Galway via the large town of Ennis and the major airport at Shannon beside the mouth of the eponymous river. The Journey Time Data Collections technologies are located on the M7 between Dublin and Limerick. This route was selected for the Data Collection (sub-function1) element of the project as it provided the greatest coverage for a single motorway and existing roadside equipment and back-office support facilitated the subsequent data fusion and processing (sub-function 2).
