Intelligent Transport Systems

ITS

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are vital to increase safety and tackle Europe's growing emission and congestion problems. They can make transport safer, more efficient and more sustainable by applying various information and communication technologies to all modes of passenger and freight transport.

The European Commission fosters the use of ITS solutions to achieve a more efficient transport network management. EU-funded projects are working on improved journeys and operations on specific and combined modes of transport. They are also developing the next generation of ITS solutions, through the deployment of Cooperative-ITS, paving the way for automation in the transport sector.

This publication shows ITS projects that have received EU funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF: 2014-2020) and the TEN-T programme (2007-2013).

CEF projects co-funded under the 2014 call

The CEF programme has been supporting ITS via calls for project proposals in 2014 and 2015.

The 2014 call provided over €100 million funding to 13 projects triggering investments of more than €400 million for the deployment of ITS and C-ITS services across the EU:

• Implementing and upgrading ITS services along nine Core Network Corridors: thousands of additional kilometres will be connected with ITS technologies (e.g. real-time travel information, intelligent truck parking), leading to more efficient, safer and less polluting road transport.

• I_HeERO and eCall.at projects are preparing the European public emergency services (Public Safety Answering Points) to handle eCall, the automatic dialling of the Europe’s single emergency number 112 in the event of a serious road accident, in view of the forthcoming mandatory introduction of eCall in 2017.

• NordicWay and Scoop@F are real-life pilots of Cooperative-ITS, based on Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication.

Additional CEF funding of about €170 million is available for new projects under the 2015 call.

TEN-T projects co-funded under the 2013 call

The TEN-T programme, the predecessor of CEF, has been supporting ITS with nearly €60 million through the 2013 call. EU funding was granted to deploy ITS along the Core Network Corridors, set up a European ITS platform, as well as launch an intelligent traffic management system in the Port of Hamburg.

EU ITS Platform

2014-EU-TM-0317-S

ITS for Road has been applied by EU Member States with great success since decades as a necessary mean to alleviate problems caused by an increasing demand for road transport while using the existing infrastructures. Ensuring continuity of high quality ITS services across Europe requires harmonisation of existing and future ITS services.

The EU ITS Platform (EU EIP) is a forum where partners from the private and public sectors of almost all EU Member States will cooperate in order to foster current and future ITS deployments in Europe in a harmonised way.

The EU EIP will also provide valid contribution for the future strategy, roll-out of services and policy recommendations on ITS. By monitoring, evaluating and disseminating results from the ITS Road Corridor projects (works within the CEF MAP ITS Call 2014), the EU ITS Platform can be considered as the technical European ITS "Knowledge Management Centre".

I_HeERO

2014-EU-TA-0582-S

eCall (based on the European emergency number 112) is the emergency call system that automatically alerts rescue services in case of vehicle crashes.

The device will have to be fitted into all new models of cars and light vans by 31 March 2018. Similarly, EU Member States must put in place by 1 October 2017 the necessary Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) infrastructure to process eCalls.

I_HeERO is addressing the need for Member States to upgrade their PSAPs in compliance with the ITS Directive (2010/40/EU), thus enabling eCall to be correctly implemented across all EU Member States.

The Action will also undertake studies on the extension of eCall to other types of vehicles not included in the EU legislation on eCall, i.e.: powered two wheelers, trucks and dangerous goods carriers. Furthermore, it will also examine the requirement for data integration and define conformity assessment for all PSAPs as required by the legislation.

Safe and secure infrastructure in Flanders

2014-BE-TM-0694-S North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor

The Action includes two sub-projects, both aiming at improving the safety on the Flemish highways. The first sub-project aims at making the Flemish TEN-T tunnels compliant with Directive 2004/54, more specifically on the E19 (Craeybeckxtunnel), R1 (Kennedytunnel), R0 (Vierarmentunnel, Leonardtunnels) and R2 (Beverentunnel, Tijsmanstunnel).

The tunnels are part of main roads for long distance and international traffic, but also used for local traffic due to the vicinity of the urban nodes of Brussels and Antwerp. The aim of the Action is to conduct inspections, assessment of the safety performance and compliance with the directive, and to derive plans for adapting the tunnels and for implementing remedial measures.

The second sub-project focusses on increasing safety and security in highway truck parking areas, for which demand exceeds the available spaces. Truck drivers at the end of their driving shift do not know where

there is parking capacity available and this creates an unbalanced distribution of parking occupancy. Data on capacity and occupancy of parking areas will be provided to truck drivers to allow them to make an informed decision on where and when to park.

It is expected that this Action will increase safety in the Belgian Flanders highways, providing socio economic benefits in terms of increased safety in tunnels, more efficient traffic flow, reduced emission and time lost in congestion.

MedTIS is an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) deployment project aiming at coordinated implementation of travel time and traveller information services on the TEN-T Mediterranean Corridor.

The corridor embeds two major critical sections, the Pyrenees and the Alpine crossings, and runs on a continuous stretch of 6,760 km European motorways including various typologies of traffic (daily recurrent, seasonal, heavy goods vehicles density, conurbations, long distance travellers, etc.).

By informing the travellers on traffic and driving conditions and travel time, MedTIS aims to maintain a high level of safety and network efficiency. The action will coordinate the wok of road-operators and relative IT deployments.

MedTIS will ensure the interoperability and continuity of ITS services across different Member States and road operators. More specifically, MedTIS will implement service continuity to better manage cross-border sections, in particular freight traffic and peak traffic conditions.

End user services will be enhanced through data aggregation from neighbouring networks and information on Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be harmonised across the entire Corridor.

The action will be implemented by France, Italy, Spain and Portugal and will involve 22 implementing bodies.

State of progress on 31 December 2014: Cross-border deployment projects are ongoing, namely on the French-Spanish border and French-Italian border, related to the implementation of cross-border Travel Time Information Services.

NEXT-ITS contributes to the delivery of continuous real-time traffic information and road safety related traffic information on the Nordic section of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor, in accordance with the EU ITS Directive 2010/40/EU, focussing in particular on its priority actions (b) and (c).

The aim of the NEXT-ITS project is to establish the organizational and technical framework required to offer seamless, harmonized and interoperable ITS services in Corridor, which has more and more heavy goods vehicles and limited alternative routes.

The project will improve the quality of services through higher quality of data. This will be achieved through improved data management in traffic centres and adding new and innovative ways to acquire extra and complementary data.

NEXT-ITS will also extend the coverage of ITS services offered along the Corridor (filling the current gaps in service provision), especially covering sections with particular needs, i.e. critical spot, urban interfaces etc.

In order to increase reliability and efficiency of the ITS travel information, road weather monitoring facilities will also be upgraded and extended along the corridor.

Lastly, NEXT-ITS will provide additional channels to deliver services to users, taking into account latest trends and user behaviour, i.e. development of app-based and extended internet services to include mobile users.

State of progress on 31 December 2014: The Action is progressing as planned. Works are ongoing on data acquisition (ITS installations in the road network), implementation and upgrade of Traffic Management Centres. Information is provided to end users through road side installations and through internet services which includes applications for mobile devices.

The study will look into ways to improve the utilisation rates and cost-effectiveness of existing infrastructure and facilities in the Port of Hamburg by introducing an intelligent traffic management system in both the existing and planned truck and car parks.

The potential benefits of the project are: - a concept that can be transferred to other ports and locations with

high industrial and non-industrial activity- an increased utilisation rate and cost-effectiveness of the transport

infrastructure by providing information about parking spaceavailability

- reduced traffic volumes and fuel consumption, as well as less damageto the environment due to less trucks looking for parking bays

- better road safety and conditions for truck drivers who will no longerhave to park randomly along the roads

- more reliable transport processes and easier planning of driving timesand rest periods in line with parking space availability, time windowsto provide or deliver goods and traffic information

The study's outcomes will be used by the port authority to take decisions on the future implementation.

State of progress on 31 December 2014: The project should be fully implemented by the end of the eligibility period. However cost overruns and changes in delivery dates have been recorded during the first year of implementation.

Cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) embrace a wide variety of

communications-related applications between vehicles, road and communication infrastructures intended to increase travel and operational safety, while improving the quality of travel overall.

The SCOOP@F Global Project aims at deploying C-ITS from 2014 onwards in France. It will equip 3000 vehicles and 2000 km of streets, intercity roads and highways. Part 1 of SCOOP@F deals with the study and pre-deployment phase.

Five test sites will be created on intercity roads in Ile-de-France and Bretagne, the Paris-Strasbourg highway, Bordeaux and its bypass and county roads in the Isère.

For each test site, roads and vehicles will communicate through wireless networks, i.e. using both wi-fi routers (along the road and embedded receptors in the vehicles) and public GSM networks.

Vehicles will exchange information about their position, speed, road obstacles and other details with the infrastructures and other connected vehicles. Roads will broadcast information about traffic conditions, works, speed limit, road accidents, etc.

The data will be gathered by road managers as traffic information to help them react faster in case of emergency. The system also increases safety for workers in construction zones, since an alert will be sent to each and every connected vehicle to warn them about the works.

State of progress on 31 December 2014: Stakeholders’ needs and the description of C-ITS services have been elaborated and finalised. Work on the specifications of the architecture of the SCOOP@F system and of each component (on-board units, road-side units and platform) started.

URSA MAJOR will deploy Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) services on German, Italian and Dutch highways to improve international freight traffic. The project mainly addresses truck parking, navigation and congestion issues to improve road safety and security.

The project aims to improve and support ITS services for international freight traffic on the main roads linking North Sea ports, the Ruhr and Rhine area, as well as metropolitan areas in southern Germany and northern Italy. Austria and Switzerland are also involved in the project in their role of transit countries.

URSA MAJOR will provide direct user benefits to international truck drivers and hauliers (better truck parking, better navigation, less delays and less uncertainties). It also strengthens the European economy by an improved transport of goods through Europe.

In particular, the project will:

- Develop the Intelligent Truck Parking service based on common Europeanstandards, to allow available and safe and secure truck parking places

- Provide an enhanced truck navigation service with reliable information ontravel road conditions

- Increase the level of ITS service support for freight traffic by filling trafficmanagement gaps in the network, to reduce delays due to trafficcongestion

URSA MAJOR is named after the constellation, as the corridor has almost the same shape. In Europe, URSA MAJOR is visible every night throughout the year and never disappears below the horizon. Likewise, the cooperation launched in URSA MAJOR is expected to offer fixed and permanently visible ITS services in the concerned area.

State of progress on 31 December 2014: The project is being implemented according to schedule. Enhancement of truck parking services is ongoing and expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
