EU 2020 Strategy.Lead Europe out of the economic and financial crisis.more jobs and higher quality of life in the long-term.3 mutually reinforcing priorities :» Smart growth: Knowledge and Innovation» Sustainable growth: ecology and competitiveness» Inclusive growth: employment and social / territorial cohesion European ITS policy : deployment in and across all modes 2
EU 2020 Flagship Initiatives. Seven flagship initiatives:» Innovation Union: better conditions and funding for research and innovation» Digital Agenda for Europe: extension of fast Internet access and digital common market» Resource-efficient Europe: decoupling of growth and resource use, renewable energies and energy efficiency, modernisation of the transport sector» An industrial policy for the globalisation era : to improve the business environment and to support the development of a strong and sustainable industrial base» Youth on the move» An agenda for new skills and jobs» European platform against poverty 3
Challenges in Road Transport.Road congestion leads to economic losses of about 1 % of the GDP (~ 115 billion )..Each year still more than 35.000 citizens. are killed on the road..road transport accounts for more than 70% of transport-related CO 2 emissions.» Transport is the only sector where CO 2 emissions still grow (2010-20: +15%) 4
Towards a renewed European Transport Policy : 2011 White Paper.Vision for a low-carbon, resource-efficient, secure and competitive transport system by 2050 that removes all obstacles to the internal market for transport, promotes. clean technologies and modernises transport networks.strategy for the next ten years (2011-2020)» Focusing on : Efficient and integrated mobility system Innovation in transport Modern Infrastructure 5
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Use of information and communication technologies in transport, e.g. phones, satellites, computer, sensors Key enabler for transport policy :» All modes of transport : SESAR, ERTMS, VTMIS, RIS,» European electronic toll service (2004)» Road Safety Policy Orientations 2011-2020» Deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS): Action Plan and Directive 2010/40/EU 6
EU Instruments in support of ITS development and implementation.r&d support (FP5,6,7, ) and Innovation.(Co-) Funding for deployment :» TEN-T projects» DG REGIO (Structural and Cohesion Funds).Standardisation.Policy initiatives :» Communications, Actions Plans, etc.regulatory» Directives, Regulations, etc 7
EU Policies on ITS for road 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» coordinate and accelerate deployment of ITS» make road transport more sustainable 8
