1 Intelligent Mobility thinking about tomorrow s transport Inter-operability as a supra-national challenge the EU perspectives Fotis Karamitsos European Commission DG MOVE UNECE Inland Transport Committee Policy Segment, 28 February 2012

2 Goals of European transport policy.paramount goal: A transport system that underpins EU economic progress, enhances competitiveness and offers high quality mobility services while using resources more efficiently.in practice, transport has to: use less energy use cleaner energy better exploit a modern network.importance of ITS! 2

3 White Paper 2011 on Transport: a roadmap to a Single European Transport System that is.sustainable. Integrated (all modes) User-friendly Technology led (ITS) and that enhances.economic progress.competitive growth (Single Market).Efficient use of Resources.Use of cleaner fuels, reduction of oil dependency 3

4 Status of ITS Deployment (AD 2008). Fast technical development > high number of mature applications but. Slow and fragmented uptake across Europe Large differences between countries Low degree of intermodality Patchwork of national, regional and local solutions main problem drivers identified:» lack of interoperability» lack of effective cooperation» privacy and liability issues 4

5 Policy framework for the deployment of ITS in Europe.Action Plan for the Deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Europe (Dec 2008).Directive 2010/40/EU: Framework for the Coordinated and Effective Deployment and Use of Intelligent Transport Systems > Road transport and interfaces with other modes» to coordinate and accelerate deployment of ITS» to tackle bottlenecks for deployment» to make road transport more sustainable 5

6 ITS Action Plan Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 Area 4 Area 5 Area 6 Optimal Use of Road, Traffic & Travel Data Continuity of Traffic & Freight Management Road Safety and Security Integration of Vehicle & Transport Infrastructure Data Protection & Liability European ITS Coordination EU-wide real time travel information Continuity of ITS services Promotion of in-vehicle safety systems Open in-vehicle Platform architecture Security & data protection Legal framework for EU ITS cooperation Collection & provision of road data Services for freight transport & logistics Introduction of Europe-wide ecall Development & evaluation of coop. systems Addressing liability, esp. in-vehicle safety systems Decision support toolkit for ITS investments Accurate public data for digital maps European ITS Framework architecture Regulatory Framework on HMI Specifications for I2I, V2X communication Guidelines for public funding for ITS Free minimum information service Interoperability of electronic toll systems Guidelines: Impact on Vulnerable road users Mandate for European standardisation Collaboration platform on urban ITS Promotion of multi-modal journey planners Guidelines: Secure parking places for trucks 6

7 Directive 2010/40/EU in force since 26 Aug 2010 Framework for the Coordinated and Effective Deployment and Use of Intelligent Transport Systems Objectives.Establishing a framework for coordinated and effective deployment and use of ITS.Setting common priorities.development of specifications and standards focused on interoperability and continuity» functional, technical, organisational & service provision-related 7

10 European ITS Committee established in Dec 2010 Chair: Commission Member States adoption of work programme reporting guidelines standardisation mandates non-binding measures consultation for specifications information exchange European ITS Advisory Group High Level Representatives Service providers User associations Transport operators Industry Social partners Profess. organisations Local authorities Other relevant forums Appointed in Jan 2012 Chair: Commission advice on business and technical aspects stakeholder interests 11

11 Conclusions and expectations.the ITS Directive provides for» a framework for effective cooperation» the elaboration of Standards and Specifications to have bottlenecks tackled & to ensure interoperable solutions We need to know and understand perceived barriers hampering deployment We need Concertation and coordination of all stakeholders Consensus building at international level We welcome UNECE initiatives to enhance awareness and to promote concrete cooperation! 12
