ITS World Congress

• Why the TOPOS/BORDEAUX bid?
• Every two years (since 1981) Bordeaux organises
  the Vinexpo International Exhibition
• 40 000 attendees from the 5 continents in one
  week in Bordeaux
• Since the 1980s Bordeaux manages world-success
  ITS applications such as Bison Futé and Gertrude
• Bordeaux has renowned ITS research centres such
  as CETE SO, EUROVIA VINCI, INRIA,
• People from the world of ITS also deserve the
  Vinexpo savoir-faire and a visit to this historic
  city well known worldwide

ITS World Congress
Bordeaux and sustainable ITS Bordeaux has always
been at the cutting edge of ITS in the urban
environment.
8
GERTRUDE, a tool of excellence to manage urban
traffic
As early as the 70s, the GERTRUDE system was
created to control the citys traffic lights
automatically, according to the traffic situation
at any given moment. Today, GERTRUDE is used in
more than thirty cities around the world, on
every continent. The system has been adapted to
new urban transport modes such as the tramway.
9
Urban transportation network Another worldwide
technological innovation is the tramways APS
or ALIMENTATION PAR LE SOL. Indeed, the
Bordeaux tramway is ground-powered over 14km in
the historical town centre.
10
By 2015 the urban area of Bordeaux will have 4
tramlines - a total of 67 kilometres - linking
together the 27 municipalities of Bordeaux Urban
Community. The international congress and
exhibition centre will be within easy access of
the rest of the agglomeration, by tram.
An ELECTRIC SHUTTLE permanently circulates in the
historic heart of the city, with no fixed
timetable or stopping points. The TRAM-TRAIN
between Bordeaux and Blanquefort will be another
world first, combining tram and train on the same
rails.
11
The structure of the tram-bus-bicycle network is
a reference throughout Europe, with 944 km of
dedicated lanes and cycle facilities, including
700 km of cycle paths and 8 secured cycle parks.
From 2010, bicycles are available on a
self-service basis at every main tram stop.
12
Information An inter-operable multimedia
information system for mobiles will soon be
available for all users of public transport in
the county and throughout the region.
The Bordeaux ring-road uses state-of-the-art
technologies with ground sensors and variable
message signs. Journey times between the areas
main sites are displayed, and a study is underway
for a system that will indicate the number of
free spaces in car-parks.
Freight and transport The Aquitaine Region
supports a number of innovative projects for
sustainable transport AQUIFRET for multimodality
of container freight transport at the Port of
Bordeaux PACC for ecodriving in public transport
on the road AGATE for safety in the transport of
groups of children PRODIGE for the management
and tracking of parcels by EGNOS and RFID.
13
A long-term commitment for the GALILEO Programme
to become a reality in 2015 GALILEO, the civil
satellite navigation programme developed by the
EU is expected to become fully operational in
2015. This cutting-edge technology of a decade
offers the potential for high precision
navigation to meet the modern needs of the mobile
citizen.
There are many uses for satellite navigation in
daily life, from guiding motor vehicles to
transport safety, as well as numerous commercial
applications yet to be discovered across the
transportation sector.
14
GALILEO is a system with such global ambitions
that we anticipate it to create a tremendous
impact in the community as early as
2015. Therefore, we suggest to embrace
the satellite and its capacity at creating value
as the major theme for the Bordeaux ITS World
Congress in 2015.

ITS World Congress
Proposed themes topics   Arousing public
interest We are considering a partnership with
the scientific museum Cap Sciences located in
Bordeaux. This institution is one of the first
in France for popularization of scientific
themes. Having already worked with Topos
Aquitaine within the scope of another congress,
Cap Sciences is perfectly qualified to arouse
public awareness of ITS.    
17
