HomeOverview of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) developments in and across transport modes
Publication metadata
This document was prepared for a two-fold purpose: A) As a main input for the preparation of the Scientific Assessment of transport technologies, which was a part of a new Commission initiative, the Strategic Transport Technologies Plan (STTP) . The STTP was designed as a follow-up of the Transport White Paper (TWP) . The TWP set out to remove major barriers and bottlenecks in key areas across the fields of: transport infrastructure and investment, innovation and the internal market. The aim is to create a Single European Transport Area with more competition and a fully integrated transport network which links the different modes and allows for a profound shift in transport patterns for passengers and freight. To this purpose, the Transport WP puts forward 40 concrete initiatives for the next decade, including technological as well as non-technological measures. The Strategic Transport Technology Plan (STTP), addressing the technology pillar of the White Paper, is hence designed to contribute to these objectives in the mid-term, through stimulating research and innovation in some strategic technological areas in the field of transport. The use of Intelligent Transport Systems within modes and across modes has been identified early on as of the main issues within the STTP. B) As a coherent description of the actual state of play in the field, in order to assist the JRC in identifying its potential role in the development, standardisation and deployment of ITS in Europe. For the JRC, it was important to identify potential areas in which the other Directorate Generals (INFSO, MOVE, etc) were in need of technical and scientific support. This report, attempts to give a concise, yet complete overview of the ITS developments in the field of transport during the last years, with emphasis in the European situation. Some hints on international developments are also given where appropriate. It should be noted, that this report, focuses on the technological developments and does not attempt to shed light in the complex issue of economics and competitiveness in this field.
