The 5th ITS conference organised by the European Commission will bring together high-level representatives from the European institutions and key stakeholders from both public and private sector of the ITS Community to discuss current and future challenges in the field of ITS.

The conference will show that digitisation of transport is not an isolated phenomenon but goes beyond the boundaries of the sector generating synergies with other sectors such as energy, ICT and tourism.

During the day, the sessions, each of them addressing a different topic, will provide insights on key current and emerging issues such as the use of data in transport, Mobility as a Service, connectivity and automation, as well as paths to be pursued to better connect Europe.

ITS conference 2015From capacity to connectivity A digital strategy for mobility

Parallel sessionsI. Data – the fuel for digitising transport

Data has become a catalyst for existing business models and it is considered the fuel for the digital economy. Fully tapping the potential of data requires not only the clarification of the various roles in the data value chain (such as data owner, data re-user), it is also about the added value to be generated by the data in the sense of helping us to answer various questions. We have to recognize the value of the digital economy being able to harness computational power in order to innovate and improve our quality of life; the latter includes for example developing services that contribute to optimising the performance of the transport system for the benefit of people (meeting their mobility needs in full, better quality of life), society (reducing the environmental impact of transport and improving security) and business (new business opportunities, jobs and growth).

The objective of the session is to discuss the role of data for our transport system (e.g. as enabler for innovative applications and services) as well as the framework needed in order to use to a maximum extent the potential of data, while safeguarding the latter from misuse e.g. by technical means such as algorithms and technologies for managing data security, integrity, and privacy. Moreover, it has to be taken into consideration that, due to social networks, the attitude of the end-users with regard to their data also seems to be changing rapidly. There is also a paradigm shift regarding the role of the end- users: from pure recipients of a service to content generators and co-developers of services.

II. From mobility services to Mobility as a Service

Mobility as a Service is a paradigm change in transportation, from owning to using; more specifically, a service provider makes accessible all necessary applications and services bundled in packages under one interface for the end-user, for example for a per-month fee. This is particularly helpful for the end-users given the diversity of existing services (e.g. journey planners); while end-users love the variety of the current offer, they might encounter difficulties to find and choose the options meeting their needs in full.

Mobility as a Service offers personalized and smart mobility services to the end-users reflecting to a maximum possible extent their diverse needs. It contributes to seamless transport services by offering easy access to mobility by the means of a single interface. Moreover, it can play an important role in achieving a better modal integration and more sustainable travel behaviour. The objective of the session is to discuss what is necessary in order to turn Mobility as a Service into reality; more specifically, the discussion will focus on the role of public and private sector, possible business models, success and failure factors as well as the acceptance from end-users.

The Plenary Session - from patchwork to network: better connecting Europe

The revised Trans-European Transport Network policy (TEN-T), the Connecting Europe Facility Regulation (CEF) and the new EU Funds for Strategic Investments (EFSI) provide a revamped policy framework supported by a set of financial instruments to boost networks connectivity across Europe and overcome long lasting fragmentation. In this context Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can act as a driver towards enhanced multimodality, high quality, integration, and synchronisation of mobility services benefiting EU citizens and industries, i.e. passengers and freight.

A multiplicity of ITS projects is being implemented along pan-European corridor networks and within urban areas already. However, future evolutions and digitisation of transport (incl. access to a broad range of traffic, travel and vehicle data, cooperative ITS, connected mobility) would offer many more opportunities for a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient transport system, as well as tailor made services for end-users and supply chains.

The objective of the session is to confront the audience to emerging ITS solutions, from hard infrastructure to innovative transport apps, which have the potential to transform travel experiences for end-users on the one hand and infrastructure and traffic management by authorities on the other hand.

The role of transport data and the trend towards digitisation of transport in this context will be discussed from diverse perspectives (i.e. users, suppliers, transport/freight operators, authorities).

III. Connectivity & Automation: the odd couple

In today’s digital world, Cooperative ITS are expected to bring beneficial changes to the transport system. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) are communication technologies that enable vehicles to become connected to each other, to the road transport infrastructure and to other road users. This connectivity can potentially serve a variety of purposes. Depending on the nature of the applications (like for instance information supply, awareness, assistance, warning or even potential driver over-ride to avoid an accident), C-ITS can contribute to improving road safety, reducing congestion, optimising the performance and available capacity of existing road transport infrastructure, enhancing vehicle fleet management, increasing travel time reliability and reducing energy use and negative environmental impact. In parallel, progress on automated vehicles is made practically every day and it is expected to dramatically transform road transport and society.

The objective of the session would be to discuss the liaison between connectivity and automation, and how this could be understood in order to maximise benefits for the transport system. The outcome of the discussion will feed into the on-going work of the Platform for the Deployment of C-ITS in the EU, which is expected to deliver recommendations for the preparation of the Master plan for the Deployment of C-ITS in the EU (to be presented by the Commission in the first half of 2016).
