Transport, management of flows and territories}, YEAR={2017}, URL={https://openscience.fr/Promotion-of-the-diffusion-of-radical-innovations-in-goods-transportation}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0141}, ISSN={2399-8571}, ABSTRACT={The topic of this article concerns the conditions for the emergence and dissemination of radical innovations in freight transport, with regard to environmental externalities. It shows the need to consider radical innovation as a social innovation, leading to reconsidering the organization of the relationships between the actors of the transport system, who should therefore be associated to the innovation process. Similarly, the renewal of the role of the state, through relevant interfaces between science and industry, is reaffirmed. The article thus illustrates the national specificities between France and Germany both in the partnerships in the innovation process and in the role of the state.}}
