• UNECE WP.29 (2008) - a possible strategy for climate change mitigation :
2015: 30% increase of energy efficiency of all new vehicles with the current combustion engine technology2020: full introduction into the global market of new environmentally friendly vehicles (e.g. plug-in hybrid electric vehicles hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicles) 2040: full introduction into the global market of electric vehicles

ITS gap – development gap
• ITS for efficiency, safety and environment
BUT
• Will ITS reverse or deepen the development gap?

ITS is a reality in UNECE work • AETR and the digital tachograph (UNECE SC.1)
• Vienna Conventions (UNECE WP.1)
• Revolutionary innovations supported by UNECE WP.29 regulations– Electronic Stability Control Systems– ABS– Cruise Control– On Board Diagnostic– Adaptive Front-Lighting Systems– Airbags– Automatically commanded braking– Cornering lamps– Brake assist systems (BAS)
• Controversial issues, e.g. Lane Departure Warning system (LDW)
24UNECE – Transport DivisionUNECE – Transport Division
ITS Messy World of Today
• Inter-operability and compatibility
• No common definition for ITS
• ITS achievements are under-utilized
• What is needed to promote ITS deployment?
25UNECE – Transport DivisionUNECE – Transport Division
Hurdles and issues for ITS
• Where is the limit?
• How much can be or how much is allowed to be automated?
• Who is responsible, who is liable?
• Controllability of vehicle
• Variable message signs
• The three dimensions:– Within vehicle– Vehicle to Vehicle– Vehicle to
Infrastructure
26UNECE – Transport DivisionUNECE – Transport Division
UNECE Road Map to promote ITS use
At the stage of asking questions: • Is it a question of level of economic development?• Is it a question of financing capacity?• Is it a question of institutional capacity?• Is it a question of legal framework?• Is it a question of information architecture?• Is it a question of clear liability provisions?• Is it a question of generation gap?• Is it a question of public – private dialogue?

Summary • Big Time for Technological Changes
– FISITA members can make a change• UNECE – your partner
– As Centre of regulations and multilateral agreements• Vehicle regulations
– As mover and shaker for analytical and TA work • For Road Safety• For global warming and inland transport
solutions– As Promoter of ITS deployment
