(f)

promote measures to reduce external costs, such as congestion, damage to health and pollution of any kind including noise and emissions;

(g)

introduce security technology and compatible identification standards on the networks;

(h)

improve resilience to climate change;

(i)

further advance the development and deployment of telematic applications within and between modes of transport.
