VISION

• Intelligent Vehicles and Infrastructures towards
  Cooperative Systems
• Wide spread of ADAS and ICT/ITS systems
• Integration into small and medium class vehicles
• Acceleration of network traffic management with
  accurate and relevant information to users
• To achieve the next step in
• Safety
• Efficiency of road infrastructure
• Respect of environmental issues

4
Organisation Leadership

• European level
• E. Policy ITS Action plan (wider scope than
  Cooperative systems)
• E. ITS Deployment EasyWay
• E. Cooperative systems Research CVIS,
  SAFESPOT,COOPERS,
• National, Regional and Local level
• RWS (National Road Authorities in The Netherlands
• SRA (Swedish Road Administration)
• National Research (e.g. AKTIV and SIM-TD in
  Germany)
• Support of European associations
• ERTICO
• ASECAP
• ACEA
• CLEPA

ITS ACTION PLAN 1/3initiative of the
European CommissionMajor Challenges for road
transport

• Lower the impact of mobility on the environment,
  increase energy efficiency
• Optimise the use of existing infrastructure
  reduce congestion
• Improve traffic and transport safety and security
• Communication end 2008, including legislative
  proposal

6
ITS ACTION PLAN 2/3Priority actions and
measures

• Action Area 1 Optimised use of road, traffic and
  travel data
• Action Area 2 Traffic Management on European
  Transport corridors and in conurbations
• Action Area 3 Road safety and security
• Action Area 4 Better integration of vehicle into
  the global transport system
• Action Area 5 Data security and protection and
  liability issues
• Action Area 6 European ITS co-operation and
  coordination

7
Area 4 ITS ACTION PLAN 3/3 Integration of
vehicle into the transport system

• Functional specifications for an open in-vehicle
  platform
• Evaluation of co-operative vehicle systems and
  possible alternative deployment strategies
• Definition of functional specifications for V2V,
  V2I, I2I communication
• Address standardisation aspects

8
ITS Deployment 1/4What is EasyWay?

• A project for Europe-wide ITS deployment on main
  (Trans European Road Network)TERN corridors
• A follow up of 7 ITS deployment projects started
  in 2001
• Monitoring (detectors, data exchange, CCD,
  AID,..)
• Traffic management (TCC, .)
• Information services( VMS, Radio,../incident,
  travel time, speed regulation,
• Driven by national road authorities and operators
  with associated partners including the automotive
  industry, telecom operators and public transport
  stakeholders
• More than 20 member states involved in 2008

9
ITS Deployment 2/4What is EasyWay?

• clear targets set of ITS European services to
  deploy
• Traveller Information,
• Traffic Management and
• Freight and Logistic Services)
• A platform that allows the mobility stakeholders
  to achieve a coordinated and combined deployment
  of these pan-European services
• Quantified objectives in safety, fluidity and
  reduction of cO2 emission
• Funding of 1OO M for 2007-2009 corresponding to
  500M of projects (same funding foreseen for
  2010-2011 and 2012-2013)

10
ITS Deployemnt 3/4 EasyWay priorities

• EasyWay incorporates eight Regions tailored
• to set up of cross border cooperation
• traffic management plans on strategic corridors
  and on bottlenecks in the specific areas
  Mountain passes like Alpine Regions and Pyrenees
• Heavy traffic corridors
• Connection to urban net work and public transport
• Interoperability of services

11
Deployment at European level with EASYWAYphase
1 2007/09, phase 2 2010/11, phase 3 20012/13

• Traveller information services
• Freight and logistic services
• Traffic management services
• Supported by monitoring (including data exchange
  between TCC)
• European studies for PanEuropean specifications
• integration of Cooperative systems and of ETC
  systems at the agenda of Phase 2 and 3

12
European RD

• FP6 specific investigation in cooperative
  systems
• CVIS, SAFESPOT and COOPERS
• Start 2006 - End 2010
• FP7 Intelligent Vehicles and Infrastructures
  towards Cooperative systems
• Follow up in HMI, including nomadic devices ,
  ADAS and technologies
• Investigation in Eco driving and green traffic
  management
• FP7 Field Operational Test on Cooperative Systems
• PREDRIVE- C2X (2008 2010)
• Phase 2 of EC-funded FOT Projects (DG INFSO
  Call6) focussed on cooperative systems (2011
  2013)

Common Showcase in 2010
14
Progress to date

• 2009
• Follow up of politic ITS Action Plan
• Improvement of existing intelligent
  infrastructure within EasyWay
• Commercial success of existing ADAS, RTTI in car
  (Embedded or nomadic) and emergency and
  assistance call in car (e-call)
• 2010
• Showcase of CVIS, SAFESPOT and COOPERS
  cooperative systems
• 2011
• integration of cooperative systems in EasyWay?
• Start of European ETC service (delayed to 2013?)

15
Challenges

• To start a virtuous circle between Road operators
  and in car equipment and services industries,
  fostered by the ITS action plan
• Based on mutual improvement
• Use of different communication media (long,
  medium and short range) with roaming
  possibilities (calm and tpeg standards)
• Giving direct benefits to traffic management and
  drivers
• New virtual VMS in the car
• New virtual emergency boxes in the car
• New virtual sensors in the car

16
Areas of potential cooperation

• Definition of core services
• Standards and Requirement
• Impact assessment
• User acceptance
• Benchmark
