- vision
“Intelligent Mobility”
•Towards zero accidents
•Towards zero delays
•With reduced impact on the environment
•Towards fully informed people
where services are affordable and seamless,
privacy is respected and security is provided.

7. Examples of ITS systems and services
Hazard warning extend driver perception and control
8. Examples of ITS systems and services
Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure
communication improve intersection safety
9. Examples of ITS systems and services
Cooperative services: vehicle to infrastructure
communication to improve infrastructure usage
10. Examples of ITS systems and services
ITS for Vulnerable Road Users
Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) account for approximately
43% of all traffic-related fatalities EU-wide. Especially
children are at risk; road accidents are the leading cause
of death for children under 15 years.
• Need for an integrated and distributed approach for VRU protection,
combining in-vehicle sensor-, communication- and infrastructure-solutions
• Further improve in-Vehicle VRU sensing
• Use telecommmunication technologies to detect VRU
• Enhance collision risk assessment methods
• Find innovative driver-to-vehicle warning mechanisms
• Solve security and privacy issues

11. Examples of ITS systems and services
FREILOT – Energy Efficient Urban Freight
FREILOT pilot aims to provide quantifiable proof that cooperation
between city authorities and freight operators supported by ITS,
can increase energy efficiency of urban freight by 25%.
FREILOT incentive based, win-win scheme:
• City authorities will implement a traffic management system with selective
priority at intersections providing a certain level of priority to goods vehicles
• Only goods vehicles equipped with acceleration/adaptive speed limiters
and eco-driving support will be eligible for this priority
• In addition, the pilot cities will offer a service for efficient management of
delivery spaces to these vehicles
12. Examples of ITS systems and services
Electrification of vehicles and ITS in the urban
setting
Urban areas will reach about 70% of the world population.
Electric Vehicles (EV) will play an important role in offering
efficient, clean, zero -emission and -noise urban mobility.
Challenges are their use & integration in the transportation system.
Aixam Mega
• Development of battery, engine and vehicles technologies are the main focus
today
• Innovative ITS systems and services are needed to ease EV integration,
deployment and exploitation; in particular starting from existing ITS solutions:
• further develop navigation maps as a predictive mean with ADAS horizon for EV,
• improve vehicle-to-driver interaction to optimize EV trips e.g. range, battery life
and management,
• solve safe interaction between EV and Vulnerable Road Users,
• integrate EVs into the Smart Electrical Grid as a component of the energy
distribution network.
13. Examples of ITS systems and services
i-Travel and urban mobility
• Many travellers in the city are not familiar with travel options
• In a city several different modes of transports and alternatives
exist
• A personal real-time travel assistance can connect the traveller
with the different travel operators and help realise significant
improvement on comfort, efficiency, safety and environment
friendliness

14. Examples of ITS systems and services
Open platform for traffic data collection & processing
The Challenge The Solution
• New data sources to be integrated • Data exchange and sharing
with existing data • Standardised interfaces
• Separate ownership of traffic data • Centralised data processing
• Data collection based on specific modules
requirements • Integrating new data, historical and
• Lack of common format real-time data
Resulting in repeated collection, Maximum benefits from all available
inefficient use of data and non- data to improve short term traffic
harmonised environment operation and long term planning

Real-time Information for Urban Mobility
“5 to 10% of total city traffic consists of
vehicles looking for a parking space”
Source: European Transport Conference 2006
• Small reductions in traffic volume significant congestion and pollution reductions
• TMC services already optimise routes and reduce overall congestion
• Recent TMC services improve city street coverage compared to early services. TPEG
services using dynamic location referencing will allow full local street coverage
• TPEG applications for real time parking and fuel finding, and less driver-specific
features such as weather and public transport are under development in TISA
17. Major challenges for further deployment of ITS
Create business cases Provide framework conditions
e.g. pre-commercial procurement e.g. privacy, liabilities
Increase demand Implement certificates
Deployment of e.g. quality
Intelligent Mobility
Provide standards or de-facto standards Test functionality, acceptance
e.g. interoperability and impact
