4. What’s about to change
• Traffic technology and traffic applications will become completely
independent easier for roll-out of new services
• Use of cloud data makes traffic control smarter
• Support of individual cyclist, pedestrian etc. with apps and mobile
connectivity
• Cooperative communication gives priority to:
• Heavy vehicles
• Public Transport
• Emergency vehicles
• Traffic management becomes “Public Space Management”
• Traffic – lightning – eather – parking – safety
• From hard to ‘soft’ infrastructure
• Improving sustainability and throughput go together
From ITS to C-ITS
5. So what’s helping drive the solution?
“The role of individual vehicle data”
• Performance driven individual
vehicle data
• Fills in the ‘gaps’
• User needs more personalized information
• Enhances traffic monitoring
• Allows for advanced network
optimization and control
6. C-ITS experience
ϕ Since 2005: working on the development of ETSI standards
ϕ Helmond: heavy vehcile soft-priority, upscaling in 2017
ϕ North-Holland: magic green for trucks via 4G
ϕ Copenhagen: “green mobility”: for bus, truck and cyclists
ϕ Bordeaux: transport logistics, motorway roll-out (w. partner)
ϕ Tampere: GLOSA – Green Light Optimised Speed Adviser, Cross-Cycle
ϕ Oulu: CyberWI – Cyber-secure traffic priority for emergency vehicle
ϕ UK: Bristol test bed and Landrover Jaguar test site

9. The Dutch approach
An open eco system in three clusters:
Cluster 1: roadside (iTLCs)
Cluster 2: cloud data services
Cluster 3: service providers
TLC application (ITS application) 100%
independent from TLC supplier (iTLC)
Role-out of services in cities and nationwide
easier to realise
Large scale implementation
Innovation platform for the future
Better facilitating specific user groups by
service providers (in cluster 3)
From only BtG to also BtB en BtC

10. The Finnish approach
An open eco system in three clusters:
Cluster 1: roadside (TLC)
Cluster 2: Dynniq cloud data service
Cluster 3: service providers, apps, external
interfaces
Open interface from TLC to third parties
Role-out of services in cities and nationwide
easier to realise
Large scale implementation
Innovation platform for the future
Better facilitating specific user groups by
service providers (in cluster 3)

drivers when signals are about to
change.
Outcomes:
• Reduced driver stress
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced emissions
• Reduced impact on infrastructure
• Increased safety
• Increase intersection saturation flow
• Easy to get cyclist request to green

• Uses standardized message formats for
information collection
• Ability to take in 3rd part information feeds
(FTA, Highways England, Rijkswatersaat)
• Can consolidate information for provision of
in-vehicle information services, e.g.;
Roadworks Warnings
Traffic jam ahead warnings

‘What does all this data tell us?’
• Understand: Balance ‘collective’ with ‘the individual’
• Account for: (local) policy objectives
• Control: Re-assess existing control measures and combine with new
• Analyze and predict: data, both historical and real-time
• Result
18. Balance the collective vs. the individual
• Collective network management
• Traditional top down control
• Static data collection
• (Relative) uniform information
• Limited real-time data + control
• Individual vehicle information services
• Personalized and contextualized information
• Real-time data provision
• Pro-active
• User oriented
