• Lack of common system• Lack of standardised data• Big investments• Wider use of data• Increasing demand on coverage, correctness, data structure and quality

• Fragmentation

Situation today

• Access & make use of data • Access to up-to date road data• Costs• Extended cooperationbetween European countries

• INSPIRE

Why EuroRoadS?

• Legal framework• Optimise the scope for exploiting the data

• Harmonisation of spatial data in the EU Member States

INSPIREInfrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe

• Development of ITS• Mobility management• Traffic management• Road maintenance• Road traffic safety• Environmental & society planning

Need for European Road Data

Key activities

• Business case• Identify user requirements• Evaluation and quality control• Dissemination of information• Specification framework• Demonstration• Implementation• Exploitation

Towards a pan-European Road Data Solution

“EuroRoadS will lay the ground for the creation of a pan-European standardised, seamless, updated and quality assured digital road data infrastructure built on identified user requirements”
