Roadworks information systems are important to enhance safety along the UMneo network and can significantly contribute to avoid congestion by coordinating road works across the border of operator responsibilities and by sharing data with end user services, e.g. navigation. Digitalisation of all processes in the transport system – including roadworks planning – is a major requisite for future connected and automated mobility.

Delegates of the ITS forum 2018 have the opportunity to visit the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC), located in Noordwijk (The Netherlands  - 75 km from Utrecht).

Op 23 en 24 mei organiseerde Rijkswaterstaat het 5^e DATEX II Forum in het LEF Future Meeting Centre. 143 deelnemers uit 20 verschillende landen kwamen samen om meer te leren over de standaard, kennis uit te wisselen met de rest van de community en discussies aan te gaan over de toekomst.

Declaration of Utrecht shows great promise for the future of DATEX II

On the 23^rd and 24^th of May the 5th DATEX II Forum was held in the LEF Future Meeting Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands. 143 participants from 20 different countries came together to learn more about the standard, to exchange knowledge with the rest of the community and to enter into discussions about the future.

The Report drafted, by the EU EIP project management, collects highlights published. 

Officials and experts of the of the European ITS Platform and CEF ITS corridors published the highlights to inform on produced deliverables and other results achieved by the projects.

The information collated into the report is delivered in three sections:

EU EIP Sub-Activity 4.1 has published a report “Quality definitions for Multimodal Travel Information Services (MMTIS)”

This report contains a first quality framework for data in the domain of Multimodal Travel Information Services (MMTIS).

This framework includes a selection of:

On 16 July 2018 the first 8 intelligent roadside units (RSU) were installed on the A9 motorway near Alkmaar, The Netherlands. Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch national road authority, uses the RSUs to monitor and manage the traffic on the Dutch motorways. New technologies allow for smarter traffic management. Therefore, Rijkswaterstaat develops and tests a new generation of RSU, called iRSU. This work is carried out as one of the pilots in the URSA MAJOR neo project.

On June 19^th, URSA MAJOR neo and URSA Czech Republic held a workshop to elaborate on the topic of Intelligent Truck Parking.

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission invited the European ITS Platform to the 2^nd Symposium on Management of Future Motorway and Urban Traffic Systems (MFTS2018). The event was held on 11^th and 12^th June 2018 in Ispra, Italy.

European and overseas representatives of the industry and science, as well as policy makers, discussed the latest advances in the field of traffic management: the European ITS Platform (EU EIP) was active part of the exchange of experiences.

The Communication Team of the European ITS Platform organized a web facility aiming at diffusing information on the ITS Forum 2018. You can access it through the page: www.ITSforum2018.eu

FIA Region I supports the progressive deployment of intelligent transport systems (ITS) and wants that end users of the services could be aware, getting the best opportunities.

Look at the video comment from Laurianne Krid, Director General of FIA (region I).

Around 20 experts from nine countries and the EC met in Brussels 17 May to discuss how ITS deployment can be promoted through incentives and other drivers. The workshop was organized by EU EIP Subactivity 4.3 The ITS Deployment roadmap, and presentations and discussions focused on four topics on the basis of prepared papers:
