INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN ACTION
The ITS Conference 2011 brings together high-level representatives from the European institutions and
key stakeholders from the public and private sectors of the ITS community in the European Union.
The Director-General for Mobility and Transport, Matthias Ruete, will open the Conference, together with
representatives from the Hungarian Presidency, the European Parliament and the City of Lyon.
The European Commission will outline the progress in the implementation of the ITS Action Plan and the
ITS Directive, highlighting the contributions from leading Directorates-General on policy, research and in-
novation. The recent adoption of the Commission ITS Working Programme for the implementation of the
ITS Directive, the current setting up of the European ITS Advisory Group, and the next steps towards the
adoption of specifications will notably be addressed.
On a number of key topics, such as e.g. funding guidelines for ITS, eCall or traffic information services,
panellists from private and public stakeholders will comment on current achievements and further
discuss the way forward.
The European Commissioner for Transport, Vice-President Siim Kallas, will close the Conference.
The agenda of the European Commission ITS Conference 2011 includes the following topics:
• Implementation progress in ITS Action Plan and ITS Directive
• Presentation and discussion of achievements in three areas:
o Collaboration and coordination
o ITS Applications
o Data and Information for ITS

PANEL I: COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION
The deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems is a very complex process involving many stakeholders
and requiring sound investment decisions followed by an effective implementation. Collaboration
between all parties and effective coordination of activities are essential, not only to guarantee a
correct service development and operation, but also to ensure appropriate quality of service of the
‘door-to-door’ transport service.
The session will address the cooperation among stakeholders and the needed concerted investments
focusing on two specific themes of the ITS Action Plan:
• The “urban” dimension of ITS deployment, as covered by the recently created ITS Urban Expert Group.
• The issue of “public funding of ITS” – or how to make sure that ITS is considered a valid and cost-
effective option for solving mobility problems and that budgets required for their deployment are
available
On the “urban” theme the state of play of the work performed by the Urban ITS Expert Group will be
presented, focusing on the priorities identified in the Group, and summarising the key “best practises”
identified so far.
On the issue of “public funding of ITS”, the Commission will report on the results of a study commissioned
to investigate state of art and current practices in the Member States and to provide recommendations
and guidance for further work in this field.
Both presentations will be followed by a discussion with invited expert panellists representing
differentiated ITS stakeholders and with the audience.

PANEL II: ITS APPLICATIONS
ITS applications are already being deployed in many Member States. Traffic information systems such
as Variable Message Signs have become usual part of regional or national ITS deployment. Electronic
tolling solutions are applied at local, regional or national level in many EU countries (e.g. Stockholm toll-
ing solution).The development and deployment of some specific ITS applications such as digital tacho-
graph are framed by existing European legislation. Yet it is sometimes taking significant time to introduce
new safety related applications such as the “eCall”. In addition, so far, many of those developments have
evolved independently of each other, so there has been little synergy between applications even when
needs are the same.
The session will address the deployment and integration of ITS applications, focussing on two specific
themes of the ITS Action Plan:
• The “harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall”, which is one of priority actions of the
ITS Directive.
• The “open in-vehicle platform” architecture for the provision of ITS services and applications.
On “eCall”, the Commission will present the status of on-going related activities, summarising the work
of the European eCall Implementation Platform and introducing the envisaged next steps for the deploy-
ment of eCall in Europe.
Regarding the action on “open in-vehicle platform architecture”, the final report of the Commission
study will be presented, addressing the achieved work and summarising the main conclusions and
recommendations.
For both topics, this will be followed by a discussion with invited expert panellists representing several ITS
stakeholders and with the audience.

PANEL III: DATA AND INFORMATION FOR ITS
Traffic and travel information services are a main priority of the ITS Directive 2010/40/EU. The right
information at the right moment and on the right channel is essential to a more efficient and sustainable
transport system. Information about critical events on motorways is crucial for improved road safety and
should always be available free-of-charge. Better information about available truck parking is needed to
align the requirements of driving time regulations and business considerations of trucking.
Data is the fuel on which these information services run. In times of increasing data sources and more
sophisticated technologies it is a real organisational challenge to build EU-wide traffic and travel informa-
tion services. Data access, data quality and data exchange need to be managed.
This panel will look at different information services but also the underlying issue of data availability. It cov-
ers three actions of the ITS Action Plan, which are at the same time priority actions of the ITS Directive.
• A fair and transparent access to public data needs to be ensured and an improved public-private part-
nership can be useful.
• The minimum universal traffic information service is the idea to ensure a core of immediately safety
related event information (e.g. ghost driver) free of charge to the road user.
• The lack of sufficient parking space for trucks along the European motorways calls for an intelligent use
of this scarce resource. ITS can contribute to better information but also reservation services.
For all three topics the final results and main recommendations of recent Commission studies will be
presented, as well as the way forward towards the elaboration of specifications under the Directive.
A discussion with invited panellists from the public and private sector and with the audience will follow.
