The CROCODILE corridor unites authorities, road administrations and operators of traffic information services from seven European Member States (AT, CY, CZ, HR, HU, IT, SI). Within the CROCODILE project, cross-border exchange of mobility data as well as a harmonised implementation of the same will be promoted.

EU EIP was present at the Concluding Webinar of the DATEX II Forum. The Webinar, which took place on the 9th of June 2021, was an opportunity to look back on the great steps the DATEX II community has made to contribute to the acceleration of the digitalisation of traffic, travel and its related management processes.

A new event concerning “Resilienza e cambiamento climatico: l’impatto sulle infrastrutture stradali” (Resilience and climate change: the impact ) was organized Within the frame of the SINA (ASTM Group) school for infrastructure engineering. The event will be in Italian only.

PIARC Italy through a working group on Ethical, Social and Safety Aspects from Autonomous Driving has organized a webinar to be held on May 28th, 2021.

The third newsletter of NEXT-ITS is now available.

The book “Digitalisation of road transport in Europe”, edited by the European ITS Platform, is now freely available for download through this link.

It provides an insight into the achievements of EU co-funded projects, where implementation of ITS has been used to target mobility inefficiencies, as well as mitigate safety risks and environmental pollution on the trans-European road network.

The partners of CROCODILE 3 used the webinar on digitalisation of cross-border traffic management for broadly communicating their progress and their next steps in this field. The afternoon was started off with a strategic session, featuring representatives of the European Commission and the Austrian Ministry for Climate Action, and followed by in-depth insights to the Traffic Management Plan application from an operator viewpoint.

In the Italian region Calabria Anas’s plan, co-financed by the EC within the URSA MAJOR neo Project, has started for the installation of advanced systems of telecommunication, the realization of enabling platforms and C-ITS services.

The event report prepared by Euractiv, available here, focuses on Intelligent Transport Systems. It stresses the effort of European Union to promote ITS as a way to increase road safety and to tackle Europe’s growing emission and congestion problems. It is also the opportunity to take stock of  where the EU stands with ITS deployment and identify the roadblocks still lying ahead.

The contents of the report:

The interview “EU official: Road digitalisation will lead to safer and greener highways” to Pierpaolo Tona, EC INEA senior Project Manager, drafted by Sean Carroll is published on Euractiv the network specialised in EU policies.

Sean Carroll, journalist of the independent pan-European media network specialised in EU policies, Euractiv, participated at the webinar of March 25^th and drafted the article “Digital solutions can stem the economic toll of road congestion, official says”.
