EU EIP Sub-Activity 4.1 has published an update of the “Quality Package” for the domain of Multimodal Travel Information Services (MMTIS), representing a first quality framework related to data and information in MMTIS.

The presented “Quality Package” contains quality-related definitions and concepts, as proposed by EU EIP partners for the use in Europe:

Last October 24^th 2019, SINA organized a training session entitled "Roads for our Future" and based on experiences out of CEF Programs.

Phase 2 of the pilot Tyre Pressure Measuring System at the Dutch A16 highway was completed some time ago. You can download here the report with the findings of phase 2. A video of the pilot (only in Dutch) can be seen here.

On November 12^th 2019, 9.30 till 12.00, the first task force workshop about Road corridor information document, Road-CID was held. The workshop was hosted in BAST office in Bergish Gladbach (D) and was be prior to the workshop: ”future challenges for traffic management”. The workshop is carried out as a task within the Cross Corridor Cooperation (CCC) activity of EU EIP.

Why Road-CID?

Operators of National Access Points (NAPs) and National Bodies (NBs) from 14 different countries met at the LEF Future Centre in Utrecht (The Netherlands) on 30 October 2019

EU EIP Sub-Activity 4.1 has published a “Quality Package” for the domain of Intelligent Truck Parking Services (ITPS), representing a first quality framework related to data and information in ITPS.

The presented “Quality Package” contains quality-related definitions and concepts, as proposed and agreed by EU EIP partners for the use in Europe: 

The deliverable “Autonomic functions implemented in existing ITS – status update 2019” is now available. The document is the 2019 update of the report first delivered in 2016 and is based on the most recent developments in the partners’ countries and the feedback received from the stakeholder engagement activities carried out after the first edition was presented. The main objective of the report was to identify autonomic and automated TMC functions existing in ITS implementations.

On 8 October 2019 two EU EIP partners participated at the session ‘Building a data layer: Network of national (data) access points – NAP’, as part of the 2019 Digital Transport Days in Helsinki.

C-Roads Platform Working Group 1 “C-ITS Organisation” and Working Groups 3 “Evaluation & Assessment” as well as EU EIP C-ITS Deployment support calls European C-ITS experts to attend the C-ITS deployment and evaluation workshop the 5^th – 6^th of November 2019 in Brussels.

After the publication of the Delegated Regulations on Information Services in 2013, 2015 and 2017 National Access Points (NAPs) and National Bodies (NBs) should be „up and running“ in all EU Member States by now. However, the status of the operational level and readiness of NAPs and National Bodies varies greatly among Member States. This is partly caused by the fact that many NAP operators and National Bodies still have a lot of open questions:

This is an initial presentation and overview of the project.

The next Newsletter will be in January 2020.

Traffic volume continues to increase, new technologies such as autonomous vehicles, Car2X and further innovations in transport continue to develop and the interfaces between the urban and interurban areas become more important. Traffic Management Centres have to deal with these challenges by implementing innovative systems and software and a closer cooperation with neighbouring traffic centres, other modes, as well as between the urban and interurban area.

The regulation for provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services including the creation of National Access Points for travel and traffic data is going to be a major revolution for the public and private actors involved in delivering mobility services throughout the whole EU. The regulation enforces adaptation to standards and mandatory opening of data to third parties for all.

Traffic volume continues to increase, new technologies such as autonomous vehicles, Car2X and further innovations in transport continu to develop and the interfaces between the urban and interurban areas become more important.

The Italian magazine “Strade & Autostrade”(roads and motorways) interviewed Roberto Arditi, project manager of the European ITS Platform, about the future of ITS systems in Europe and the harmonization between the initiatives of single Member States of the European ITS Platform (EU EIP).  For info: “Strade & Autostrade”  EDI-CEM Srl – www.stradeeautostrade.it

Freight transport, like all mobility, is changing due to increased focus on safety, efficiency and sustainability. Truck platooning and connected transport is seen as a means to reach safer, more efficient and sustainable freight transport. The Experience Week is part of the preparatory phase of the truck platooning pilot of the URSA MAJOR neo project. In this context the Experience Week Connected Transport was organised from 1 - 5 October 2018 in the Netherlands.

The ITS European Congress 2020 will be hosted in Lisbon, 18-21 May 2020. It is the largest event entirely dedicated to smart mobility and the digitalisation of transport in Europe and is organised by ERTICO ITS Europe.

“ITS The Game Changer”, the 14th ITS European Congress will showcase the latest technologies adopted in Lisbon, together with all the available ITS solutions in Portugal.

An important learning from the work in EU EIP is that investments in ITS are in general made in response to local needs. As local investments remove bottlenecks and improve safety they have a positive impact also on the performance of overarching corridors. But can road transport corridors constitute a basis for future traffic management? This was the core question raised at the EU EIP ITS Deployment Road Map workshop held in Rome 16 May, organized by Sub-Activity 4.3.
