Other parts of the TRKC website cover transport research at Programme level, and expand on transport related issues, e.g. in the ‘Links’, ‘Events’, ‘Glossary’ and ‘FAQs’ sections.





2. Scope of theme

2.1 Definition of theme

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) comprise several combinations of communication, computer and control technology developed and applied in the domain of transport to improve system performance, transport safety, efficiency, productivity, service, environment, energy, and mobility. In certain cases, ITS are known as Transport Telematics Applications that play particularly vital roles in ensuring mobility for all and enabling business to meet orders in increasingly competitive markets. Intelligent Transport Systems represent the next step in the evolution of the entire transportation system. These technologies include the latest in computers, electronics, communications and safety systems. ITS can be applied to vast transportation infrastructure of highways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, port and airport infrastructure, as well as to a growing number of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks and trains, as well as aircraft and waterborne vessels. They can be used both for passenger and freight transport. These information and communications technologies provide the means to improve service quality and management of transport systems.

2.2 Topics included in theme

Intelligent Transport Systems cover a very large scope. Principally, ITS can be classified by the fields of applications (infrastructure, on-board equipment, integration of infrastructure with on-board equipment, etc.) the solutions provided (safety, security, logistic management systems, services, etc.) and common services (policy, standards, etc.). Currently, the main concerns are: • Telematics services for travellers and related topics (reservation, ticketing and baggage

handing) specifically dealing with public transport as an element of intermodal travel; • advanced telematics applications for transhipment, storage, and transportation of

freight operations (virtual market, EDI, door-to-door, etc); • travel and traffic information and driver information (including driver alert, driving

assistance, on-board navigation systems, etc); • automatic debiting and toll collection: tolling systems, control system, and payment

systems; • road network and traffic management: control/guidance strategies, congestion

management, incident management, emergency services, demand management, speed management, traffic control centres, etc. (by means of specific ITS technologies and equipment such as ramp metering, AID - Automatic Incident Detection, electronic signs, radars, video cameras, etc);

• air traffic control and safety system: Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) / Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control




System (A-SMGCS), Data and Voice Communications, Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS), Future Airborne-Ground Integration in ATM and GNSS. Data Fusion, etc.;

• railway transport system: freight management tools, train positioning, traffic management systems, data dictionaries, human machine interface, passenger information systems, etc.; and

• waterborne transport telematics: Vessel Traffic Management and Information Systems (VTMIS), Integrated Ship Control (ISC), Electronic Chart Display & Information Systems (ECDIS), International Safety Management, International Safety Management Code’s Implementation Tools, Maritime “Black Boxes”, Cargo Information Systems, River Information Systems (RIS) optimal planning of container transport, etc.

2.3 Significance of theme

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can contribute to safer, cleaner and more efficient transport by: • Helping travellers, freight distributors and transport operators to avoid delays,

congestion and unnecessary trips; • diverting traffic from overcrowded roads to roads with spare capacity and to alternative

modes including rail, sea and inland waterways; • reducing accidents (and reducing the effects and seriousness of accidents that do

occur); • increasing productivity; • gaining extra capacity from existing infrastructure; • encouraging integrated transport; • reducing energy use; and • reducing environmental pollution. The far ranging benefits of ITS touch all transport modes and many aspects of social life. For example, road congestion is a widely recognised problem in many urban areas. The application of ITS-based travel and traffic information was proved in studied cases to reduce journey times by 20% for private cars and by 19% for public transport vehicles. From a socio-economic perspective, the benefits of ITS are considerable and mostly justify their investment costs several times over.




3. Policy context European policy objectives related to the ITS theme The recent and unprecedented enlargement of the EU and the resulting necessity to connect the new countries to the trans-European transport networks is only one of several challenges where ITS can have an important role through the application of technologies that allow efficient, comfortable and safer transport. Since the Treaty of Rome there is a clear European concern with common transport policy and its role in economic growth. In this field, the Maastricht Treaty gave a significant contribution to transport policy, not only through political, institutional and budgetary aspects, but also by putting into practice the concept of the trans-European networks (TENs). An important contribution to the common transport policy was the first White Paper on this theme, published in December 1992 “The Future Development of the Common Transport Policy” (COM(92)0494) [13], which aimed to create the conditions for the liberalisation of the transport market. In general this was accomplished and allowed the consumers to have at their disposal a better quality of service at better prices. Concerning Road Transport, there is an important initiative, the “Action Programme for Road Transport Telematics” that, in 1997, identified five priorities: • RDS-TMC-based information services; • electronic fee collection; • traffic data exchange/information management; • HMI (human/machine interface); and • system architecture. In 1998, the European Commission in the paper entitled “Sustainable Mobility: Perspectives for the Future” [9] settled the priorities for the period, following the Action Programme for 1995 to 2000 [11], aiming to increase efficiency, competitiveness and quality in transport systems. From the several priorities, one of them clearly addressed Intelligent Transport Systems: • Set up integrated transport systems by continuing to develop Trans-European networks

and promoting intelligent transport systems such as the Global Navigation by Satellite System (GNSS).

In September 2001, the “European transport policy for 2010: time to decide” White Paper [5], recognising the growing importance of transport in modern economies, identified several policy objectives aiming to achieve better efficiency in transport systems. The “Growth, Competitiveness and Employment” White Paper (COM(93)700) [12] published in 1993 warned of the effects of bottlenecks, traffic congestion and low interoperability between different transport modes. The solutions to these problems can no longer rely only on infrastructure construction and opening up markets and, simultaneously, will have to respond to the increasing social and environmental concerns. According to the data mentioned in the 2001 White Paper, congestion in 2010 can cost up to 1% of Community GDP and, consequently, threaten European economic




competitiveness. One other aspect that is important to consider is that, in recent years, transport use has been growing at a greater rate than GDP. To solve these problems and to break the link between economic and transport growth (known as ‘decoupling’), the 2001 White Paper proposes the implementation of 60 measures that can be summarised as follows: • Shifting the balance between modes of transport; • eliminating bottlenecks; • placing users at the heart of transport policy; and • managing the effects of transport globalisation. Clearly, ITS can give an important contribution to fulfil these policy objectives, because of its transversal nature. The main contributions of ITS implementation identified in the 2001 White Paper are: • Integration of transport modes; • optimisation of transport performance; • increasing transport safety; and • making the European transport system compatible with sustainable transport

development. Following the 2001 White Paper, which proposed several practical measures concerning transport and, in particular ITS, the European Commission released the brochure “Intelligent Transport Systems – Intelligence at the service of transport networks” [4]. Although this brochure mainly focuses on road transport – identified in the White Paper as probably “Intelligent transport’s most significant impact” (Annex VI, p. 2) – it demonstrates how the European Commission sees ITS as an important instrument to, through more efficient and economical transport, achieve the top priorities such as reducing congestion and bottlenecks. This particular focus on road transport is also due to its relative importance compared to other transport modes. The predominance of road transport in goods transport and especially in passenger transport (79% of the market) causing congestion on the main roads, public health effects and road accidents that are the three main issues that, according to this document, must be addressed. One other policy objective that emanates from the recognised importance of ITS applications refers to the creation of a single market for ITS services, allowing easier access to and use of ITS across Europe. This objective includes: • Timely development of technical standards that ensure interoperability and provide a

stable basis for investment decisions; and • setting the necessary legal framework for the deployment of ITS services. The first example of the application of these measures is the guidelines for the development of the trans-European network for transport (TEN-T). These guidelines already cover the telematics infrastructure for traffic management systems and traffic information services. Concerning the TEN-T, the report from the Expert Group on ITS for Road Traffic Management [7] highlighted several strategic objectives for ITS deployment and the TEMPO sub-programme (part of the DG TREN Multi-annual Indicative Programme – MIP) is specifically devoted on ITS in the road sector.




Nevertheless, is not only to road transport that ITS is being applied. In other transport modes, several priorities have been presented: • For air transport the priority is the creation of a Single European Sky; • in the shipping sector the priorities are safety and the development of short-sea

shipping; and • in the rail sector, priority has been given to the system interoperability and

standardisation. Another example of efforts to achieve policy objectives is the focus of the FP 5 [8] on solving some of the economic and social problems of the EU instead of pure research. This allows researchers to study and present solutions that can, using technologies, alleviate transport infrastructure problems. One of the most important contributions in the field of ITS is GALILEO – the European system for satellite navigation and location that will be operational from 2008. This will allow a wide range of applications and services for all transport modes, some of them being studied by researchers in FP 4, FP 5 and FP 6. It can be noted that some of the policy objectives for ITS are entrenched in the policy objectives for Transport, in particular on the “European transport policy for 2010: time to decide” White Paper. But, ITS has its own particular policy objectives that refer to the creation of a single market for ITS services, enabling the mass use of these services and the harnessing of the myriad advantages of ongoing projects such as GALILEO. More recently, in a mid-term review of the 2001 Transport White Paper (COM(2006)314final) [2], the Commission considers that intelligent transport systems are “among the most promising priority areas” and summarizes (op. cit., p. 19) the following actions concerning intelligent transport systems: • Continue intelligent mobility programmes:

• road transport – Intelligent Car Initiative and eSafety; • aviation – SESAR; • railways – ERTMS; • waterborne transport – RIS and SafeSeaNet;

• making the best use of Galileo navigation signals; • develop further similar initiatives in the maritime field (“e-maritime”); and • launch a major programme to roll out intelligent infrastructure for road transport.

4.1 ITS technologies

4.1.1 Research objectives

The research objectives concerning this sub-theme refer to the creation of new technologies that, when applied to transport systems, can in some way allow better conditions in order to increase safety, intermodality and allow a more efficient use of the transport infrastructures. Among the several projects that have objectives related to this sub-theme, it’s possible to verify that a great number of them deal with GALILEO – the European system for satellite navigation, and aim to create either the global architecture, system specifications, standards, applications, interfaces or the receivers that will be applied to the different transport modes allowing to take full advantage of the range of benefits created by the functioning of GALILEO. Another group of objectives deals with the integration between different communication technologies, allowing to take full advantage of their individual potential and overcoming their limitations. Some of those communication technologies are DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) and GNSS. There are a significant number of research objectives that deal with the design of new hardware to increase the safety of transports, such as new sensing systems for the development of ADAS (Automatic Driver Assistance Systems). In general, these objectives are related to solutions for better guidance, better collision avoidance, better user interfaces and better traffic management. The issue of multimodality is also considered as an objective in the ITS architecture and traffic monitoring applications.

4.1.2 Main findings

In terms of technologies, new developments demonstrated the feasibility of technologies in several fields, such as, using computer vision to detect unusual human behaviour (thus improving safety). These developments enable, among others: • Faster response to incidents; • better guidance; • collision avoidance; • better energy utilisation; and • improved fleet management. The development of technologies can also contribute to the development of new services, helping to improve mobility, transport management, quality and efficiency of transports, using different communication technologies and protocols as, for example, the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).




Finally, several research projects focused technologies related with the GALILEO satellite system.

4.2 ITS applications


Using technologies already existing, research aims to find new applications for those technologies also to achieve higher standards of safety, intermodality and efficiency. Concerning the field of safety, there are some projects’ objectives that focus on the application of technologies (enhanced with the development of new algorithms) on the surveillance and monitoring of traffic as well on transport management. Increasing the efficiency in the use of the already existing infrastructure, with special attention to bottlenecks and intermodality issues, thru the introduction of existing ITS tools is a major concern reflected in the projects research objectives. There are also references to objectives that will allow the development of the trans-European road network. In this field, research objectives include the harmonised and integrated development of the telematics infrastructure for traffic management systems and traffic information services, and the interoperable systems of automatic tools to apply on European countries. The travel assistance technology application is also one of the principal research objectives. To achieve this, in particular for road transport, new interfaces for information to the driver, and services such as new digital maps (and geographic databases) and navigation and guidance systems have been applied. Other technologies, such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), are also being applied to transports with the same purposes. This group of objectives has impact on safety, but also on efficiency, by giving information about the best alternatives for travel (also considering different transport alternatives in the same journey). When considering urban and regional transport systems, there are objectives concerning the increase in mobility thru a more efficient management of the traffic flows, better intermodal systems and the application of new vehicles (with some innovative technologies). Related to this is the development of new fare collection systems and terminals for public transports. Also referring to urban transports, the implementation of new control systems for access corridors can be helpful (according to the stated objectives) for traffic management and also on emergency situations (for the movement of ambulances linked to traffic light priority system, for instance). There is a group of objectives that focuses on the airborne transport. The introduction of new technologies appears to be a solution for better safety (4D flight path generation and guidance) and efficiency (for instance, thru less redundancy between existing systems, and the use of information obtained form GNSS and other systems in a hybrid way). Other




important effort focuses in the application of broadband network technology to aircraft communications systems. Concerning road, rail and waterborne transport, projects aim to apply technological solutions to monitor movements, distances and time consumption, aiming to achieve higher levels of efficiency and safety. At least, in this sub-theme, is possible to perceive that the research objectives also take in consideration the GALILEO opportunity and important contribution to ITS, as GALILEO is considered in almost all the applications as a tool to achieve the mentioned objectives.

4.2.2 Main findings

In the field of applications, the effort in terms of research allowed the development of: • Systems that allow the tracking, localisation and telemetry of vehicles and cargo units

(applied to different transport modes) using technologies as GPS, GSM and others; • innovative traffic control strategies; • vehicles with automated driving capabilities; • new services in response to citizen needs; • information flow between users; • weather warnings for drivers; and • new broadcast technologies to provide information to end-users. Other research projects allowed, by the application of ITS in the analysis of real situations, to take some conclusions in terms of what are the most adequate behaviours that users must adopt (such as in terms of speed limits, etc.). An important aspect relates to the evidence that some applications can be achieved thru the adaptation of existing systems or, as the research results show, by taking advantage of synergies between different technologies. Also from the research is also evident that there was a lack of adequate databases concerning traffic information in different transport modes in order to allow systematic approaches. This was accomplished and it’s expected to serve as reference and, by giving multiple layers of information, such databases can be used in flow models. Finally, as in terms of ITS technologies, also in terms of ITS applications, an important number of research projects and findings relate to the GALILEO satellite system.

4.3 ITS social framework


Raising the awareness and knowledge of ITS on possible users and governments is one of the objectives of the research projects. To achieve this, there are among the projects objectives references to workshops, seminars, training and other dissemination tools to create awareness for the importance and benefits of ITS implementation. Sometimes, this is done thru the application to a specific situation that is used as an example.




In the field of ITS concerning the trans-European road networks, there are projects that besides the technical aspects also require the coordination and co-operation from authorities in different countries. Other effort in this sub-theme is done thru special projects, operating as thematic networks, that intent to stimulate the debate between experts and analyses experiences in order to inform and influence decision makers, users and other parts interested on ITS. Within this sub-theme there are several projects that aim to enhance the utilization of GALILEO satellite system. To achieve this purpose, among the projects research objectives, can be found references to discovering what can be done to increase the share of the global satellite navigation market. Effort is also being put in the contacts with organizations, companies and authorities to discuss GALILEO. This will allow to obtain inputs, attention and opinions concerning what can be done to take full advantage of this satellite system and other information helping to create the legal, regulatory and institutional framework that will ensure GALILEO’s success.

4.3.2 Main findings

To raise awareness and social acceptances of a new development, such as in the field of ITS, sometime some evidence has to be provided and disseminated among stakeholders (in particular, end-users) thru info days and other actions to promote the use of ITS in the transport sector. This was accomplished by several research projects, demonstrating, among others the contribution of ITS to ensure faster response to incidents or new forms of urban transport (using ITS). The dissemination of the results gathered thru the use of ITS to analyse several specific situations can also provide information to end-users in order to help them adapt their behaviour and, this way, achieve higher levels of efficiency and safety in the use of different transport modes. Some of the information provided through research refers to the best moment for a driver to change lanes or even that calling the drivers attention at the proper moment can change their behaviour, thus increasing traffic safety. Another aspect resulting from the research relates to the contribution to future policies in terms of ITS, by gathering contributions from experts as they are relevant stakeholders. In the research these contributions focus, among others, the European Radio Navigation Policy and the GALILEO satellite system and guidelines for the evaluation of ITS projects. Impacts.

Acronym Project title (in English) Origin Research sub-theme Key findings / Policy implications / Project website or contact • use of the algorithms for annotating video sequences for efficient storage, search and retrieval; • improvement of the algorithms by providing learning feed-back from an operator; and • encapsulation of the algorithms in a software 'wrapper' to provide industry standard interfaces for ease

of system integration. The measurable benefits were: reduced operator workload, faster response to incidents, more efficient management and retrieval of video data and improved means for analysing public use of transport systems. Specification and procurement of systems will be facilitated by the open architecture adopted.

Policy implications

The next challenge will be to take the results of ADVISOR and disseminating them to end users, and planning and developing products that can be derived from ADVISOR.

CYBERCARS Cybernetic technologies for the car in the city


Key findings

The CyberCars Project was focused on the development and dissemination of a new form of urban transport based on cybercars, which are road vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities. Such innovative transport system can provide on-demand and door-to-door capabilities for passengers or goods. The project has focussed on the improvement and testing of the technologies, on the certification procedures and on the dissemination. For the technologies, several new techniques have been developed for better guidance, collision avoidance, energy utilisation and fleet management and the development of simple, standard user interfaces. The project was able to improve significantly the performances of these technical systems or to lower their cost.

Policy implications

With the availability of a large network for automated travel, private cars would be interested to use these infrastructure (under control of the overall management of the resource and possibly with a toll) for auto-mated driving, using the capabilities of the driver aids. For the same reason, freight transporters would also be interested to use the network for automated goods delivery, in particular for city environments where large (and perhaps medium size) delivery trucks are or will be prohibited. If the political will is present to offer an alternative to traditional cars, this approach could lead quickly to a large infrastructure dedicated to driverless cars (with mostly existing roads for low speed driving in limited access areas) and new infrastructures for high speed driving.

EVA Telematically controlled measures to increase the traffic flow quality at con-struction sites with lane dropoffs on motorways

AT ITS applications

Key findings

The most important findings are: • A speed limit of 60 km/h can maintain flowing traffic conditions slightly longer than a speed limit of 80

km/h. • A speed funnel can delay the beginning of congestion distinctly. Therefore it is appropriate to survey

the application of a speed funnel in an on-road test. • In case of flowing traffic with higher speeds it is favourable that drivers change lane previous to the

lane drop. So a longer area (some 100 meters) can be used for merging and drivers can find a suffi-cient gap by moderate speed positively.

• Under congested conditions the highest capacity can be obtained, if the ending lane is used until its very end. Alternate merging affects the capacity advantageously.

Policy implications

On the basis of these findings an information system was developed, which consists of different signals, sensors and a control unit. On the basis of the estimated benefits it is recommended to follow the direction of survey: For a high effectiveness of the information transmission different embodiments and texts should be put to a on-road test. In a next step the proposed system should be assigned to and tested at sites with long-term lane drops and expanded by a dynamic speed funnel.

EYE IN THE SKY New Services for (i) Fleet manage-ment and Customised Mobility Infor-mation plus (ii) Emergency Support for Crises during large-scale events, based on the use of low-altitude plat-forms and floating car data

EU ITS applications

Key findings• Development and validation of intelligent transport infrastructures based on the synergy of surveillance,

communications and geographic information/digital mapping technologies; • provision of images from sensor, mounted on low-altitude platforms, offering advantages such as high

spatial and temporal resolution, or dedication to pre-identified areas for selected time-period; • near real-time downloading and acquisition of sensor data to ground station and near real time proc-

essing of the data into traffic information; • set up of a complete digital road/traffic database, for the first time for the specific urban area, to serve

as a geo-reference for multiple layers of relative information like road types, signs and restrictions, to-pographic data and the statistic traffic flow model; this geo-reference could also be used to geo-








reference the optical sensor’s outputs; • development of software for unification of data, derived of different sources (optical sensor, FCD), into

an integrated information product; • development, implementation and validation of a GPS/GSM-based methodology for mobile traffic sen-

soring and traffic data transmission for inner-urban applications (FCD in urban areas); • development of intelligent infrastructures for transport and security operations and provision of im-

provements for every-day mobility problems of people in cities; • provision of dynamic fleet management services based on the actual traffic situation through vehicle

and mobile equipment that is used for delivering traffic information services via FCD; and • exploitation of state-of-the-art technologies for the production of cost-effective general interest services,

facilitating daily citizen needs.

Policy implications“Eye in the Sky” addresses a whole series of EU policy issues, including one of the key-issues addressed in the Key Action I of the Fifth Framework Programme of Research, by aiming to provide an innovative system that improves services to the citizen and strengthens the European position in the global ITS market. Furthermore, the project specifically addresses policies related to “The deployment of Road Transport in Europe”, “The citizen’s network” and the “Urban agenda in the European level”.

GALILEAN Galileo Application Network EU ITS social framework

Key findings

Summarising the industry experts’ recommendations, the following main areas for action can be identified:• Integration of GNSS and other radio navigation means into a coherent European Radio Navigation Pol-

icy, ensuring a reliable and robust positioning service for Europe; • agreed approach for the Public Regulated Service (PRS) for specific civil or military user groups, in

particular with a view of the future military GPS service; • better consultation with industry at political/institutional level, especially on issues potentially having an

impact on future GNSS business development (intellectual property rights, agreements with third coun-tries, policy on receiver royalties, etc.);

• review of GALILEO programme planning in terms of schedule and cost to increase its credibility. Spe-cifically, the impact of the Public Regulated Service (PRS) has to be taken into account;

• the GALILEO signal definition, i.e. the Interface Control Document (ICD), for the open services has to be made available as a basis for any further technical development; and

• coordinated Research and Development activities at national and European level addressing the rele-vant key areas. The SME access to these programmes has to be facilitated.

Policy implications

In the political category, the issues are related to integrating the GALILEO initiative and other GNSS systems into a coherent European Radio Navigation Policy, thus ensuring a reliable and robust positioning service for Europe. The implementation of the Public Regulated Service for specific civil or military user groups has to be prepared, in particular with a view to the future military GPS service. In consequence, the actions which should be taken on this level are focused on the establishment of a clear and positive political and institutional environment to enable optimal development of the application industry. Specifically, the relations with non -European countries have to be carefully considered.

The trials demonstrated how the GAUSS technology and applications can improve mobility and transport management, by providing innovative services and creating favourable technical conditions for enhancing both the quality and the efficiency, while maintaining safety standards. The assessment, done with the important contribution of ARNI, participating as real user of the GAUSS technology and solution, verified the impacts that the GAUSS technology and applications produce, in terms of improved operational efficiency, service quality provision, working conditions and market opportunities. Furthermore, market studies showed that there are many niche markets, mainly professional customers in the transport sectors, taking advantages for the usage of the GAUSS provided technology and services.

Policy implications

GAUSS results open the way to the development and exploitation of advanced technology supporting high quality, reliable and effective services to the citizens for the transport sector and whole mobility domain, in view of GALILEO and UMTS scenarios: emergency assistance, safety-of-life applications, fleet and freight transport management (rail, road, maritime and inland waterway), dangerous goods transportation and containers tracking. Further development can be envisaged for exploiting the GAUSS solution towards other LBS related mar-kets and for improving its performances and enhancing it towards other technologies (such as integration with terrestrial and wireless short-range technologies, and implementation towards GALILEO ready units). GAUSS developed technology has a great potential, in particular should interoperability with terrestrial navigation and communication infrastructures be implemented, and in view of navigation infrastructures deployment (EGNOS operative and GALILEO systems). GAUSS is expected to boost the creation of reliable and effective services, capable of fulfilling the needs of different user classes for accurate and timely information exchange, collection, data processing and distribution. In particular the improved efficiency and safety will positively impact on the their operational activities, allowing a reduction of bottlenecks in inter-modality and an optimisation of the emergency assistance. Hence, the demonstration is expected to have impacts in terms of very promising next developments and exploitations of the results achieved in the GAUSS project, in terms of: • Advanced technology for supporting high quality, reliable and effective services to the citizens for the

transport sector and whole mobility domain, in particular for safety-related applications; and • benefits achievable by the use of combined secure telecommunication, advanced software technolo-








gies and GNSS navigation, for location-based services oriented to safe and efficient transport man-agement applications.

RoadCast Telematic system for weather forecast and information systems

AT ITS applications

Key findingsThe results of this feasibility study is an in depth analysis of the technical requirements and meteorological criteria for a useful road weather warning and information service for drivers. This included the application of roadside and mobile sensors (Floating Car Data) as an innovative data source were assessed. Part 2 included the proof of concept of a new forecast model (NOWCASTING), highly precise, in-time including location based warnings and usable weather information. During the course of the project it was proven that huge data volumes can be integrated and that the forecast accuracy could be increased by 15-20% for the first 24 hours on specific major routes. Part 3 covered the evaluation of a central server architecture and automatic forecast data center, which should be capable of calculation thousands of local requests in real time. Part 4 related to the application side The project was focused on driver related weather conditions, i.e. more precise forecasting of precipitation quantities for aquaplaning, fog, ice, snow and storm on the roads. Most important to the authors was the ease to retrieve and ease to understand design of specific weather information/warnings for drivers Moreover, it became clear, how the different system components have to be integrated in order to provide easy-to-use and valuable safety information for the driver. Last but not least different scenarios for an implementation with the respective costs for this innovative value-added telematic service were delivered.

Policy implicationsA road weather information and warning systems is technically feasible. Based on the positive perspectives the project partners continued the work and developed a pilot system during 2004 and 2005 including a number of mobile application prototypes. Other partners, like Hutchison 3G Austria, Ford Telematics Research Aachen joined the project which was finished in August 2005. The pilot system serves as a useful basis for the application of the Roadcast System on a EU wide scale. It is the intention to apply for EU research funding in order to bring the pilot to reality.

SMART NETS Signal Management in Real Time for Urban Traffic Networks

EU ITS applications

Key findingsSMART NETS’ main contribution to the state-of-the-art was the provision of an easy-to-implement, inter-operable, easily transferable traffic control strategy that can provide a very efficient performance with a minimum amount of fine-tuning. In this way, the project has significantly contributed towards the development of an innovative traffic control strategy that can be easily and quickly implemented and can provide a significant reduction of travel times within urban traffic networks. One further very important finding from the demonstrations is that TUC can perform well in any type of network: the five test areas in the three cities have very different characteristics, both with regard to network layout and with regard to traffic behaviour. This allows the conclusion that TUC can be successfully implemented in any other site in Europe or elsewhere in the future. Overall, the SMART NETS project has demonstrated that TUC has the potential to become a strong competitor in the worldwide UTC systems market. Policy implicationsSMART NETS addresses a whole series of EU policy issues, most prominently some of those addressed by Key Action I of the Fifth Framework Programme of Research, by aiming to provide an innovative sys-tem that improves services to the citizen and strengthens the European position in the global ITS market. SMART NETS specifically addresses policies described in the Commission communications: “Community Strategy and Framework for the Deployment of Road Transport Telematics in Europe”, “The Future De-velopment of the Common Transport Policy”, “The Citizen’s Network”, and the “Directive on Air Quality”.

TASKU Tracking and tracing of freight trans-port

FI ITS applications

Key findings

Surveys of interest groups suggest that there is still very little tracking and tracing of cargo units, and the existing systems are mostly manual. Only the largest logistics operators have access to more high-tech systems that are often tailored for individual clients. But the need for more efficient operations within transport chains calls for the development of more extensive systems that can process data on several parties and goods categories. The main obstacles to the creation of such a tracking and tracing system are the wide range of standards currently in use and the lack of common operating models. Additional insecurity for system implementation is caused by the speed at which technology is advancing in this field. The first parties to implement the new kinds of tracking and tracing systems will most likely be the major transport chain operators. In the future, the data included with each cargo unit will be able to be read by a variety of technologies. One possible solution is a combination of bar code, RF tag and written information. The parties involved will have to decide on matters associated with the information content, data security and safety.

TPEG Achieving technical consensus and supporting standardisation of TPEG applications, targeted at rapid imple-mentation of enhanced multi-modal information services and navigation systems for European travellers

EU ITS applications

Key findings

TPEG Project demonstrated how the TPEG specifications could be tested in a Traffic and Travel Information (TTI) message generation environment for both, road-based traffic information and public transport information. An automatic conversion from RDS-TMC to TPEG was achieved and air-traffic arrival and departure information was parsed from the internet and distributed via TPEG. RDS-TMC and TPEG can co-exist. Language-independent TTI was broadcast via DAB and via Internet using the binary version of TPEG. TPEG permits to implement a very innovative European broadcast technology on digital bearer systems (e.g. DAB, Internet) for the delivery of language independent multimodal traffic and travel information to end-users. End-users can use a wide range of receivers that range from Personal Digital Assistants to Navigation Systems. The project demonstrated various ways on how to implement language independent TTI on the Internet.

Policy implications

Europe is clearly leading a very exiting technology, which deserves to be given more attention by the European Commission. All that is needed now are regular TPEG based multi-modal TTI services all over Europe. New Projects within the 6th Framework Programme and also those Euroregional projects from DG TREN supporting European ITS infrastructure development could well contribute to achieving the objective of European-wide TPEG based mobile services for everyone, already as from around 2005 onwards. The timely development of DAB broadcast infrastructures Europe-wide may require more EC involvement, as otherwise the new TPEG technology implementation to become available Europe-wide will just not happen. It will also be useful to continue studies of business models for TPEG service provision. Business models have the potential to encourage the industry with the view that a launch of consumer products for TPEG can be a profitable business. The TPEG Project has identified some problems relating to the implementation of data broadcast services on DAB, nationwide. In some EU countries, this may require changes to be suggested to the regulatory environment. Harmonisation is this domain will certainly be useful and require further EC or European Parliament involvement. Also, the timely development of DAB broadcast infrastructures Europe-wide may require more EC involvement, as otherwise the new TPEG technology implementation to become available Europe-wide will just not happen.

VARVI2 Updated Guidelines for the Evaluation of ITS Projects

FI ITS technologies

Key findingsThe guidelines present a systematic method for dealing with impacts, which ensures that all projects cover the essential points for decision-making. The evaluation guidelines are based on the YHTALI framework (Finnish Socio-economic cost-benefit framework for transport infrastructure) and they apply the YHTALI template for presenting the results. Owing to the novelty of ITS projects, the guidelines present extensive checklists of the possible impacts of ITS on the transport system and its users (end users, operators, au-thorities, etc.) as well as on all the actors linked to logistics systems. Lists of indicators and their estimation methods cover seven different impact categories:





Acronym Project title (in English) Origin Research sub-theme Key findings / Policy implications / Project website or contact • Transport network and its costs, • fleet and its costs, • accessibility, • time and predictability, • safety, • noise, emissions and energy, and • valuations and comfort. The use of specific primary indicators is recommended. The guidelines apply to all modes of transport. The economic feasibility analyses can build on a cost benefit analysis or a profitability calculation. In addition, multi-criteria analyses and verbal assessments should be used. For studying the feasibility of the implementation of the projects, the guidelines present checklists for market assessment, human-machine interface analyses, and technological, technical, financial, legal and organisational aspects. The guidelines for the evaluation of logistics projects emphasise the main objective of these projects, which is to enhance the competitiveness of the companies. The applied Du Pont model acts as an impact checklist while at the same time it produces an estimate of the magnitude of the impacts.

– Concept for the integration of an in-formation system for public informa-tion on the traffic conditions on state roads

SI ITS applications

Key findings

The key result of this project is the system architecture for integrating a system for traffic information on state roads. This is represented in the form of a structured record of organisational, functional and infor-mation relations as well as in graphical form. In this way the system is easily extended as the requests for new technologies and information providers are known well in advance. The functional description for the management centre has been suggested and key subjects and logical information flows have been designed. The design was related to the European ITS Framework Architec-ture so that connectivity to neighbouring countries' traffic centres is ensured. The practical functionality test has been performed by the pilot project. In the pilot project the internet was used as media and the main goal was the connectivity of sub-systems and their mutual communication. The pilot system consisted of Sub-systems: • Automatic traffic counters equipped with cellular communication module;





Acronym Project title (in English) Origin Research sub-theme Key findings / Policy implications / Project website or contact • web cameras; • database server; and • web server. Communication: • Cellular and stationary network; • video transfer via internet; and • data transfer via internet.

Policy implications

Based on the study, a number of implementation projects have been launched. It initiated an ongoing process which will finally result in the establishment of a national road management and information centre for Slovenia. Connectivity with neighbouring countries, vehicle information and communication systems and spreading the functionality by the introduction of new technology and information providers are the main goals for the future.

Key findings

The main results of the project can be summarised as follows: • The main trends - e.g. European integration, GDP growth, structure of vehicle pools, etc. - affecting the

current and future characteristics of transport infrastructures have been derived from national and international (EU) transport policies and development scenarios;

• based on the results of international R&D and pilot projects several ITS solutions - categorised as infrastructure management, fleet and vehicle management, and travel or goods transport management systems - have been identified and described for each transport mode (rail, road, waterborne, airborne) as possible tools of transport policy implementation; and

• the key recommendations have been elaborated on the basis of former analysis (trends, requirements, possibilities), categorised by transport modes and according to further criteria: vital problems needing ITS solutions (e.g. financial losses, not efficient operating processes, poor capacity utilisation, not flexible traffic organisation, etc.), preferred tools (e.g. ERTMS/ECTS in rail transport, multi- and intermodal travel information services, integrated transport data bases, effective data interchange between clients and partners, etc.), pre-conditions (e.g. interoperability, ensuring input data quality, adequate human-machine interfaces, handling feedbacks, ensuring financial sources by PPP, etc.).

Key findings

Based on the presented evaluations it is evident that the different intelligent transport systems have clearly positive impacts on the traffic safety both in urban environment and on the highway network. The positive impacts of the collective traffic regulation and information systems are remarkable, they can increase the traffic safety of a given section around 30% because of the variable message signs, which can call the vehicle drivers’ attention at the proper place in time to change his driving attitude.

The EXTR@Web project – Exploitation of Transport Research Results via the Web – at-tempts to collect, structure, analyse and disseminate transport research results, covering not only EU supported but also nationally financed research in the European Research Area (ERA), as well as selected global transport RTD programmes and projects.

The EXTR@Web consortium has brought together eight main contractors to combine strong and in-depth technical knowledge of transport technology and of EU and national transport RTD programmes with solid communication and dissemination experience. The current project's direct predecessor, EXTRA (a Fourth Framework Programme Trans-port RTD project), co-ordinated dissemination activities on the European level for the first time. While FP4 addressed transport research on a mode-by-mode basis, the current Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) focuses on generic themes that consequently reflect trans-port policy objectives. The EXTR@Web project will provide support to research at European and national levels by building up and promoting an electronic hub. The key objectives are:

• to provide an electronic hub for inter-connecting European and national programmes and individual networks concerned with transport research into an easily navigable European network;

• to establish a common best practice scheme for the structure and content of the reporting of transport research results;

• to provide high-quality analytical outputs that are structured and tailored according to the type of stakeholder and medium; and

• to raise awareness of the new service, the implications of emerging results, and the wider opportunities under national research programmes across Europe as a whole.

EXTR@Web will provide a comprehensive pool of programme, project and results related information to users, principally in electronic format via the Internet. The approach is based on three main strokes of work covering: • Monitoring, analysis and information preparation; • website and electronic news service, the principal dissemination channels; and • management of knowledge transfer, including dissemination by non-electronic means,

and also the maintenance of a contact database and e-mail enquiry service and evaluation of the performance of EXTR@Web.




Definition of transport research

For inclusion into the Transport Research Knowledge Centre, Transport research pro-grammes and projects have to be within the definition of research and transport simultane-ously. This will define the eligibility of projects.

Definition of research

General OECD definition: "Creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowl-edge, including knowledge of humanity, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications." Additional transport research criteria:

• the transport users: passenger, business, freight;

• the transport infrastructure (full life cycle issues);

• Targeted – in line with transport policy aims, strategies and processes to solve the in-herent problems for society.

• Accessible – a public activity, open to scrutiny by peers. • Transferable – useful beyond the specific research project, applicable in principle to

other researchers and research contexts as well as decision-makers in policy, industry and science.

Definition of transport

In order to clarify expectations from the Transport Research Knowledge Centre, and to en-sure a common understanding of important terms, the Programme Analysis Group of EXTR@Web has come up with the following definition of transport. • Transport is the means by which a person or material of any kind is passed from its

origin to its destination. • Transport comprises:

• the transport vehicles (full life cycle issues);

• the transport system: the interaction of users, vehicles and infrastructure; • the impacts of transport: contribution to objectives, and hence to overall sustainabil-

ity; and • the transport tools: methods and instruments to help ensure an effective contribu-

tion to the objectives.




Three levels of analysis

Project level analysis

For European, national and international projects the following harmonized process was agreed: • For each eligible project, the project co-ordinator will be requested to draft a Project

Profile; • the EXTR@Web consortium identifies, for each project all relevant themes (typically

up to five), and provides the project linkage; • for each eligible project, the project co-ordinator will be requested to draft the other

elements of the reporting scheme – Progress Summary and Result Summary – due to the project progress and provides the final report;

• projects with highest relevance and best available final results will be selected for analysis;

• for every such relevant theme within each project a short and concise paragraph – structured with bullet points as appropriate – will be written to present the key findings of the project in relation to the objectives of the theme; and

• this information will be searchable on the Knowledge Centre website.

Thematic analysis

The thematic analysis has been exploiting existing project level analysis. The consolidated project wise findings have been structured and analysed along 30 themes, which are fixed for the project life time and fed into annual Thematic Research Summaries and Annual Compendia. However, for reporting purposes Thematic Research Summaries have been limited to 28 volumes (cf. Chapter 1). The sequence of outputs has been comprising an explanation of the overall structure, and regular reports treating national, European and international research in a comprehensive way (cf. Table 1).

Policy level analysis

Whilst the 30 themes are fixed, this type of analysis should give the flexibility to provide in-formation on ad hoc policy priorities. Hence, policy level analysis will synthesize key find-ings of projects across combinations of themes. As an output, policy brochures shall be prepared depending on ad hoc requirements by DG TREN or by the high-level Advisory Group (AG).
