    Ireland ITF Presidency 2021 IRELAND – ITF PRESIDENCY 2021 A SHOWCASE OF TRANSPORT INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN IRELAND gov.ie Introduction Aerospace & Aviation This booklet showcases Irish Innovation in the Transport Sector both past and present. It provides a summary of how Irish entrepreneurs, companies and agencies have always been, and continue to be, at the forefront of designing and delivering innovative mobility solutions and new transport Roads Sustainable technologies. From the design of the world’s first dedicated & Freight Mobility passenger railway in 1884 to the opening of the Future Mobility Campus Ireland to test Autonomous Connected Electric Shared Vehicles (ACES)) in 2021. Smart Urban As we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and Mobility once more increase capacity on our public transport systems and unwind travel restrictions, innovative solutions will play a key role in allowing us to travel, safely and efficiently into the future. One such example was the pedestrianisation trials of the Grafton Street Area conducted by Dublin City Connected Maritime Council in 2020, which examined how we might redesign our Transport Transport urban spaces to allow citizens to travel more safely while also promoting active travel modes.
