05.18.2023
An agreement to combine expertise in the event of an emergency, experience and experimentation in the field of research on the most advanced driving technologies was signed by the President of the Automobile Club of Italy, Angelo Sticchi Damiani, and by the President of the National Body for Civil Aviation, Pierluigi Di Palma.
The collaboration agreement provides for the integration and coordination of activities relating to the phases of emergency preparation and management in the sectors of competence of each of the parties, as well as the scientific/technological transfer of skills and results obtained, as well as joint activities of research and development to find innovative solutions of public utility and service for citizens and for the territory.
Thanks to the agreement, ENAC and ACI will enhance and implement their respective response capacities in the institutional sphere, launching a collaboration process on the issue of emergency coordination with the activation and start-up of shared paths, mutual exchange of professionalism and know-how.
“Collaboration between public bodies in areas of common interest and competence is essential for developing innovative projects and expanding the areas of research and development of solutions in the field of safe and sustainable mobility”, underlined the President of the Automobile Club d’ Italy. “The agreement allows us to extend our knowledge of safety and monitoring systems for risk prevention – continued Sticchi Damiani – and represents an opportunity for ACI to put experience and analysis skills into a system to intercept new people’s mobility needs. But also to look to the future and to the technological possibilities that will intervene to offer increasingly modern services and in line with the needs of the territories”.
“The Protocol – commented the ENAC President – represents the starting point of an unprecedented institutional agreement aimed at achieving, on the basis of consolidated relationships and in the light of new synergies, a system that will allow us to protect fundamental aspects for the life of every citizen, such as that of mobility. We want to deploy all our knowledge and our vision which also includes advanced, intermodal, sustainable and technological air mobility”. “By exploiting the third dimension – continued Pierluigi Di Palma – new integrated models can be offered to citizens and territories and intermodal systems of intelligent mobility, both air and land, such as to develop innovative and eco-sustainable solutions for the realization of mobility as a service”.
