Challenges & Impact stories
Impact is one of the main ambitions in ITEA. Impact on business, on the market, on society. Without impact, a project
will not be successful in ITEA. This is a key value in ITEA, and impact and potential impact are central during the
project lifecycle: in project evaluation, monitoring, closure and in communication of the results.
Many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results and most of these successes could not have been achieved without
the (financial) support of the national Public Authorities. They have put their trust in these projects and
supported them with public funds, making it possible for the project partners to get the most out of it. In return,
ITEA is now gathering project impact stories to show in what way they solve key societal challenges and have an
impact on business, on the market and on society.
All impact stories will be collected in this ITEA Impact stream. The ITEA Impact stream is a living publication that
consists of 2 main elements: 7 main societal challenges and a set of impact stories showcasing the impact highlights
of successful ITEA projects.
Create your own personal ITEA Impact stream by choosing the challenges, countries and
topics
of your interest and be inspired by the results!
Please note that over time more impact stories will be added to the ITEA Impact stream

The costs of sustaining healthcare for the world's ageing
population are rising constantly and have become
a significant component of global GDP. Healthcare
is a major and growing market, with diagnostic and
interventional medical imaging alone is worth almost
€20 billion globally and growing. The significance of the
market is reflected in the significance of the challenge
that the MEDIATE project took up: to reduce costs and
to improve the predictability of patient outcomes. The
key lies in integrating medical imaging systems fully into
surgical procedures and hospital workflow systems.
MEDIATE focused on three medical fields: cardiology,
oncology and orthopaedics, where planned minimally
invasive procedures follow a pre-programmed workflow
procedure, namely medical imaging to aid diagnosis,
intervention planning, image-guided navigation during
the intervention, execution of the therapy and therapy
response assessment.

Reliability and consistency of electricity supply is
critical to many industrial and service activities: when
the power quality is inadequate, business suffers. To
operate the power network in a more efficient manner,
it is necessary to exploit data from a huge number of
electronic devices involved in the control and protection
of power systems in a systematic and standardised
way. With issues such as smart metering and real-time
monitoring becoming crucial, the ITEA 2 IMPONET project
addressed the modelling, design and implementation of
a comprehensive, flexible and configurable information
eco-system to meet the most complex and advanced
requirements in electrical energy management.

Nowadays open networks are taken for granted yet
this continuous interconnection and data-sharing
are vulnerable to a growing number of security
threats from both internal and external sources. In
sectors such as transport with train control systems,
healthcare with medical patient care, automotive
with car-to-infrastructure communications and
mobile telecommunications, there are safety-critical
implications. The ITEA project DIAMONDS set out to
examine how to secure these safety and security-critical
systems. The project, which brought together 22 industrial
and scientific players from six countries to develop a new
security testing paradigm and methodology, known as
model-based security testing, successfully demonstrated
and evaluated it in eight industrial settings from four
different industrial domains.

The rapid ongoing rise in the global surveillance and
security market is beset by a number of problems:
fragmented surveillance systems, lack of information-sharing
on standards, agreements, policies or
processes, the difficulty of detecting small vessels used
for illegal purposes or in extreme weather conditions,
uncoordinated and diverse sensor data, and the
unpredictable and constantly changing behaviour of
suspicious vessels. The challenge faced by RECONSURVE
was to develop an open interoperable maritime
surveillance framework that can enable existing systems
to share information and so improve maritime security.

Driving on the road is a way of life. Being able to get safely
from A to B is something we take for granted. And today
driving is safer than it was ten years ago, and ten years
before that, and in ten years time it will be even safer.
In 2011, a new standard, ISO26262, was published for
the functional safety-related aspects during the safety
lifecycle of systems related to electrical, electronic and
software elements that provide safety critical functions.
The goal of the SAFE project was to enable the automotive
industry to comply effectively with this ISO26262 by
providing model-based development processes that
integrate functional and safety development based on
existing development lifecycle processes.

European industry's need for flexible
production system design, optimised time to
market and extremely high product quality
provided the background for the ITEA 2
project AVANTI. The goal was to develop a
virtual commissioning test methodology
based on behaviour simulation of production
systems to enable leading European OEMs,
component and tool providers to gain a
competitive edge. The projects two key
innovations were: (1) virtualisation of the
testing process for industrial production
lines and (2) the combination of different
models and tools for simulating production
to create and perform tests for virtual
commissioning and industrial application.

Modelling is not new in automotive systems development but enabling interoperability between different subsystem components from various disciplines has presented engineers with a big challenge. The objectives of the MODELISAR project were to boost collaboration and innovation across system and software disciplines and to test the vehicle behaviour earlier, faster and more affordably in the virtual world. During the project, an international and open Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard was developed to conveniently exchange and interoperate models from different modelling and simulation environments.

The SEAS project is at the heart of the energy transition. The project set out to enable interworking of energy, ICT and automation systems at consumption sites, introducing dynamic and intricate ICT-based solutions to control, monitor and estimate energy consumption. It also explored business models and solutions to enable energy market participants to incorporate micro-grid environments and active customers. The SEAS revolution: more cost-effective, more environmentally friendly and more customer focused energy streams through efficient interaction between providers and prosumers … everywhere.
