ERTICO eMagazineWelcome to the
Editorial
Welcome to our first edition of 2013!
Dear Readers,
Happy New Year! We hope that you
had a white Christmas and a sparkly
New Year Eve.
As 2013 has just started, this month
we decided to walk you through our
achievements in 2012 and to give you
a preview of where 2013 will take
us. In 2012, the ERTICO team had
quite a few trips abroad as several
important projects ended; euroFOT
and FREILOT had their final events in
Brussels and Helmond, while Viajeo
organised conferences in all the test
sites, Athens, Beijing, Sao Paulo,
and Shanghai. But in 2012, Vienna
was the ITS capital of the globe with
10,000 people participating in the
19th ITS World Congress. Vienna was
also the occasion to bid farewell to
iCar Support; during the Congress,
Commissioner Neelie Kroes gave
the iMobility Awards for 2012 to
outstanding professionals.
This month we also conclude our
series of international cooperation
articles focusing on the United States
of America. The article tells you
more about cooperative systems,
very much in vogue these days, and
how the EU is cooperating with the
USA in harmonising standards that
grant a minimum of communication
between devices built in the two
different regions. In the article we
also look at the research done on
cooperative systems for safety and
energy efficiency.
Finally, this month we interviewed
Jacob Bangsgaard, Director General
of the Fédération Internationale de
l’Automobile (FIA) Region I (Europe,
Middle East and Africa). We asked
Mr Bangsgaard to tell us more
about FIA current activities and to
explain what the iMobility Challenge
initiative is. Mr Bangsgaard also
gave us some personal views on the
work of the European Institutions on
sustainability and safety.
We hope you will enjoy this first
edition of the year and wish you a
pleasant read and a very successful,
if icy start to 2013!

An intelligent journey through

Interview with Jacob Bangsgaard

Here at ERTICO, we will be working
on a number of new and exciting
projects and we also expect to see
many new ITS systems make the
transition from R&D to become real-
life products. In fact, this is such
an important trend that it is the
main focus of the 2013 European ITS
Congress and we hope that many of
you will be able to attend in June in
Dublin.
However, before we explore the year
ahead we thought it would be a good
time to review the successes we have
had over the past twelve months.
What projects were completed in
2012? And how has ERTICO achieved
its vision of bringing intelligence into
mobility for people and goods?
Here are just a few of the highlights:
In June, the euroFOT consortium
held its final event and presented
the findings of a four-year study
focused on the impact of driver
assistance systems in Europe.
The EUR 22 million European
Field Operational Test (euroFOT)
project began in June 2008 and
involved 28 organisations including
car manufacturers, automotive
suppliers, research institues and
other European stakeholders. The
study looked at existing driver-
assistance technologies in cars
and trucks and their potential to
both enhance safety and reduce
environmental impact on European
roads. The euroFOT project revealed
a link between these systems and
improvements in driver behaviour,
fuel efficiency and traffic safety, as
well as overall cost savings.
In September the FREILOT
project came to an end having
evaluated the benefits of five
urban freight ITS solutions. The
project was a huge success and
made significant contributions to
the commercialisation of the first
‘cooperative road-side unit’ in
Europe. Working with pilot sites in
four EU countries, FREILOT assessed
energy efficient intersection controls,
adaptive speed and acceleration
controls, eco-driving support and
real-time loading/delivery space
booking.
The first International HeERO
Conference on eCall took place in
Zagreb on 15 November presenting
the intermediate results of the
HeERO (Harmonised eCall European
Pilot) project. The eCall system is an
extremely high-profile development
as it will be mandatory for all new
cars sold in the EU from 2015 and
the meeting in Croatia allowed
participants to focus on the
outcomes of interoperability testing
projects in nine countries (Croatia,
Czech Republic, Finland,Germany,

2013 is finally here!
After weeks of festive fun, holidays and New Year celebrations, Europe returned to work this month, and despite the fresh snow that has fallen across the continent, 2013 looks set to be a bright year for the ITS community.
Greece, Italy, the Netherlands,
Romania and Sweden). A number of
recommendations for implementing
eCall at European level were made
and the project has been so successful
that six additional countries will join
the pilot from January 2013 (Belgium,
Bulgaria, Denmark, Luxembourg,
Spain, Turkey).
Also in November, the iCar Support
project finished, ending four years
of excellent work in support of the
European Commission’s iMobility
Forum initiative which was one of
the pillars of the Intelligent Car
Initiative. In its final year, the project
hosted the second iMobility Awards
ceremony, which was presented
by Vice-President of the European
Commission Neelie Kroes. It also
oversaw ten ITS forum working groups
and presented the iMobility Forum
to the world at the ITS Congress in
Vienna. Between 2008 and 2012
the project has contributed a great
deal to the development of safe,
smart and clean ICT-based transport
technologies, and we are delighted
that this work will continue next
year via the new iMobility support
project.
The international VIAJEO project
which focused on urban mobility
management, ended successfully
with final conferences in each test
site (Athens, Sao Paulo, Beijing and
Shanghai), and closer to home, two
interoperability ‘test weeks’ were co-
organised by ERTICO and ETSI. Each
one contributed to the successful
testing and validation of the DRIVE
C2X reference system for cooperative
systems (ETSIG5 standards)
And this is really just the beginning.
Many other projects are still underway
and the ERTICO Partnership continues
to go from strength-to-strength with
nine new partners joining over the
year!
Finally, no review of 2012 would be
complete without a look at the 19th
ITS World Congress in Vienna.
The Vienna Congress truly was an
outstanding event and proved beyond
doubt that people from all around
the world are completely committed
to ITS. With more than 10,000
participants from 91 countries the
19th ITS World Congress set a new
record in the number of participants.
In addition to this, more than
3,000 delegates and 195 journalists
attended the event - helping to make
ITS a real topic in everyday life.
Of the 23 technical demonstrations
that took place during the week,
eight took place in the real traffic
of Vienna, and the Congress was
also the first to feature a Ministerial
Round Table with a top-class political
cast, including Vice-President of the
European Commission, Siim Kallas,
Efthymios Flourentzos, President of
the EU Transport Council, and the
German Transport Minister Peter
Ramsauer.
We have every reason to believe
that we can build on this success in
2013 and will work closely with our
partners in Ireland and Japan to
ensure that the European and World
congresses deliver.
Next month we will present a number
of new ERTICO projects and explore
the year ahead. We hope you will
join us.

The eCall pilot went from strength to strength in 2012
The USA goes cooperativeLooking at the current development of cooperative systems in the USA
With a population of 309 million, 841 vehicles for every 1000 inhabitants and 18,690,000 barrels of oil per day, the USA confirms its status as second most polluting country in the world, after having been the leader until China overtook it in 2007.
According to a study in 2009, traffic
congestion in the USA increased by
63% over the past 10 years, costing
the country almost $87.2 billion.
Despite declining traffic volumes,
it’s estimated that US citizens waste
more than 11,000,000m3 of fuel and
4.2 billion hours annually in traffic
jams, equivalent to one full work
week per traveller.
The US is also in the top 10 of
vehicle manufacturers with a total of
8,653,560 units (including 2,966,133
cars) produced in 2011, up 11,5%
compared to the previous year. Also
General Motors ranked as top vehicle
manufacturer globally, with a total
of 9,146,340 vehicles (of which
6,867,465 cars) produced in 2011.
Vehicle safety is also a big concern in
the USA: in 2010, 32,885 people died
in vehicle accidents, nearly 3% fewer
than the previous year. These figures
remain amongst the highest in the
world, per head of population.
No wonder the US Department
of Transport (DoT) is looking at
new solutions to improve safety,
environmental impact and mobility. In
2009, the DoT released its Intelligent
Transport Systems Strategic Research
Plan covering the period of 2010-
2014. The Plan foresees funding of
$100million per year and includes
research topics such as vehicle-
to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-
infrastructure (V2I) communications
for safety; real time data capture
and management; and applications
for the environment within the AERIS
programme (Applications for the
Environment: Real-Time Information
Synthesis.
With an investment of $1.93 million,
the AERIS research programme
works on generating and acquiring
real-time transport data relevant
to the environment and using them
to support users and operators in
greener transport choices. The AERIS
programme is working closely with the
V2V and V2I communications research
activities to define how connected
vehicle data and applications can
contribute to mitigating carbon
emissions.
The US DoT priorities seem to align well
with those of the European Union. This

is why in 2009 the EU - represented
by the European Commission DG
CONNECT - and the US DoT signed an
Implementing Agreement “to develop
coordinated research programmes,
specifically focusing on cooperative
vehicle systems”; followed by
a joint declaration of intent on
Research Cooperation in Cooperative
Systems, published as “International
Deployment of Cooperative
Intelligent Transport Systems”. The
goal behind this document is the
harmonisation of standards and data
in order to have a smother exchange
of information. According to Paul
Kompfner, Head of Sector at ERTICO,
this is a very important point: “it
would be a problem if standards in
the two regions were redundant or
contradictory “.
Already there are important
differences between regions, for
example in the allocation and use
of radio spectrum. Therefore one of
the working groups established by
this cooperation aims specifically
to harmonise key message sets for
cooperative ITS between the USA
and Europe: the European CAM
(Cooperative Awareness Message),
developed by ETSI, and the American
BSM (Basic Safety Message). The result
of this cooperation was demonstrated
last October at the ITS World Congress
in Vienna, where two vehicles used
a core harmonised safety message
to exchange safety information.
Why is this important? According
to Mr Kompfner, this would benefit
vehicle manufacturers as they would
be able to supply the same product
in different markets. Drivers and
travellers would also gain from the
universal availability of cooperative
ITS applications that worked in the
same way for users around the globe.
Harmonisation also leads to improved
safety and sustainability. With
over 30,000 fatalities in 2010, the
USA is collaborating with Europe
to harmonise safety applications
such as collision avoidance and
traffic signal violation warning. The
US DoT Research and Innovative
Technology Administration (RITA)
is focusing its current research
on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and
vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) safety
applications. V2V systems can sense
potential threats and hazards - with a
360 degree awareness of the position
of other vehicles - and can calculate
the risk of a collision, warn the
driver in time and take preventive
actions to avoid or mitigate crashes.
Applications focusing on critical crash
scenarios such as emergency brake
light warning, blind spot warning,
lane change warning, and forward
collision warning have already been
developed and demonstrated.
Similarly, vehicle-to-infrastructure
(V2I) communications deployment
on a minimum level of infrastructure
will provide the maximum level
of safety and mobility benefits,
enabling to reduce risks by 12%
that are not considered by V2V
communications alone. Therefore V2I
communications for safety is a key
technology in the DoT’s Connected
Vehicles Programme. Typical safety
applications that could be deployed
are related to intersection safety
and speed management, including
red light violation warning and curve
speed warning, alerting the driver
to slow down if approaching a curve
too fast. But V2I communications can

also significantly improve mobility
and mitigate environmental impacts
by reducing delays and congestion or
helping commercial vehicle drivers to
identify safe areas for parking.
The EU-USA cooperation is embodied
in a joint EU-US Task Force. One
of its working groups, on safety
applications, is working intensively to
harmonise the over-the-air data and
communication interfaces; the result
should “reduce costs for development
of cooperative safety systems and
accelerate deployment by enabling
the use of common vehicle hardware
and firmware in both regions”. To
support the European input to the
joint work, the EU co-funded project
COMeSafety2 assists with standards
harmonisation, with the definition
of cooperative ITS architecture, and
with cooperative ITS deployment
enablers. COMeSafety2 also assists
with a joint forum to exchange tools
and methodologies, and with creating
common specifications for a set of
compatible applications.
If the USA puts much emphasis on
safety, the EU invests strongly in
sustainability. In the context of
cooperative ITS, sustainable systems
try to reduce the impact of vehicles on
the environment through technologies
to influence transport
network management
and driver behaviour.
V2V and V2I systems
in particular help
to reduce energy
consumption and
carbon emissions by
informing drivers
and traffic managers
of traffic jams
or incidents at intersections for
example. The EU is co-sponsoring
development of cooperative systems
for more sustainable and efficient
transports, e.g. with the project
eCoMove. This 3-year project is
developing core technologies and
applications based on V2V and V2I
communications, where a vehicle’s
eco-relevant data can be shared in
real time with other vehicles and
traffic networks to support fuel-
efficient driving behaviour and traffic
management. Together eCoMove
and the AERIS research programme
underpin the EU-US cooperation in
the field of cooperative safety and
sustainability applications.
Promoting international cooperation
on sustainability, the ECOSTAND
project links activities in the European
Union, Japan and the United States
towards a common assessment
methodology to determine the
impacts of ITS on energy efficiency
and CO2 emissions. This January
ECOSTAND organised a webinar asking
the simple question: do we still need
to worry about emissions? According
to Marcia Pincus, AERIS Programme
Manager, environment is an important
part of connected vehicle research in
the USA, where the transport sector
accounts for 28% of GHG (greenhouse
gas) emissions and 70% of US oil
consumption; light vehicles and
heavy trucks are the greatest fuel
users with respectively 58% and 19%
of the total consumption.
The AERIS research looks at what kind
of data from vehicles are relevant
for environment applications, and
which multimodal applications/
strategies are now or potentially
available, and finally what are their
expected benefits. Lastly but very
importantly, the AERIS programme
is investigating if there is need of
a “Basic Environmental Message”
similar to the safety message set
(BSM-CAM), and how these data
can be transmitted effectively, how
often, and among which actors, for
a sustainability application to be
effective.
Cooperative systems cooperation has
grown deeper and stronger over the
past few years, but what is coming
next? According to Mr Kompfner,
7

the next step will be a focus on
deployment; “some applications and
technologies are already available;
the European project FREILOT for
instance is a pilot deployment of a
cooperative traffic signal priority
system for heavy lorries, in order
to reduce emissions”. Japan, as
Mr Kompfner explains, is quite
advanced; thanks to the “ITS Spot”
programme, where 1,600 cooperative
ITS roadside units have been installed
on motorways over the country to
cover high risk areas. These ITS spots
communicate to the car navigation
system information about traffic
congestion or warnings of crashed
vehicles blocking a blind curve, to
warn the driver in advance and reduce
collisions. A concrete example of the
achievements of ITS Spot programme
is the drastic reduction by 60% of
collisions at the Sangubashi Curve in
Tokyo.
The USA is currently running a pre-
deployment pilot of these services
at intersections. In August 2012,
the DoT announced the first test of
connected vehicle technology in
a real environment in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. The test site uses 3,000
cars, trucks and buses equipped with
wireless communications devices
that communicate to each other and
to the infrastructure. The University
of Michigan Transportation Research
Institute (UMTRI) has equipped
vehicles driving every day on streets
and highways with devices that allow
to send, receive and translate data
as well as warning other equipped
vehicles of hazards and threats.
This year in May, UMTRI will also
organise the first annual Global
Symposium on Connected Vehicles
and Infrastructure. The symposium
will look at the progresses in
connectivity between road users and
road infrastructure (V2I). All modes
of transport (including cars, freight
vehicles, motorcycles) as well as
vulnerable road users (pedestrians
and cyclists) and intersecting modes
(e.g. rail) will be incorporated.
What seemed once to be an
engineer’s fantasy is slowly becoming
real, and the safety pilot in Ann Arbor
represents the largest demonstration
of the connected mobility of the
future.
Could you explain the
advantages that FIA sees for
your members in the use of ITS in
the future?
Developing the future mobility
of our cities in a sustainable
manner is one of our members’ top
priorities. It is clear that more needs
to be done to improve the safety
and environment of urban areas. And
personally, if you ask me, I would
like to live in a safe and clean city.
Last year, our 76 European Clubs
showed their commitment to this
goal by signing a joint declaration
calling for more coordinated actions
at the European level to deploy ITS
as a means of connecting people,
infrastructure and services.
Our Clubs recognise that integrated
mobility solutions can provide
people with choice, flexibility and
seamless connectivity. At the same
time, the deployment of ITS can
also dramatically improve urban
safety, for example through the use
of local danger warnings and collision
avoidance systems. This is of real
importance to our Clubs and their
members.
Important for consumer uptake
of ITS is education. FIA Clubs are
committed to informing motorists
on available ITS options including
through demonstrations, studies and
courses. They are also engaged in the
benchmarking activities to identify
users’ acceptance of ITS for urban
mobility.
The main discussion now is on how
sustainable urban mobility can be
achieved and how the different
modes of transport can work together
to provide the best mobility solutions
for citizens. I do not believe that a
sustainable solution would be found
through access restrictions and
Interview with: Jacob Bangsgaard, Director GeneralFIA Region I
What are the current key focus
areas of FIA?
As the governing body of
motorsport, the FIA is now
preparing for the 2013 racing season
which has already got underway with
the Rallye Monte-Carlo taking place
in mid-January. On the mobility side,
the FIA is working hard to promote
its Action for Road Safety campaign
which has been set up to assist the
UN in reaching the goal of saving 5
million lives on the world’s roads in
10 years.
Here in Brussels, the FIA Region I
office is a consumer body bringing
together 106 Motoring and Touring
Clubs and their 36 million members
from across Europe, the Middle East
and Africa. We represent the interests
of these members as motorists, public
transport users, pedestrians and
tourists. Our primary goal is to secure
a mobility that is safe, affordable,
sustainable and efficient. Of course,
priorities in the Middle East and Africa
can be different to those in Europe,
but the reason the FIA has set up a
regional structure is to encourage the
exchange of best practices between
our Clubs.
At the European level, these goals
require political and financial support
for the development of appropriate
infrastructure, technologies and legal
frameworks. FIA Clubs boast a wealth
of experience and knowledge in the
mobility area, and as such, are well
placed to offer the political, technical
and practical expertise required from
a consumer perspective. The winners of this year’s GT1, WEC, WRC, and WTCC competitions took part in the iMobility Challenge event in Turkey

charging, as this would only make
everyone’s life more complicated in
the city when commuting. We need
to focus on developing intelligent
solutions, taking into account
individual mobility needs in a
sustainable way.
Can you tell us more about the
iMobility Challenge initiative
and what you are trying to
demonstrate with it?
iMobility Challenge is the
successor to the eSafety
Challenge project which focused on
the promotion of new eSafety ITS
systems. The iMobility Challenge on
the other hand will be primarily focus
on ITS for efficient mobility. But the
overall goal will be to demonstrate
to the public the benefits of clean,
efficient and safe mobility solutions
made possible by ITS.
Intelligent vehicle systems for
energy efficiency such as gear shift
indicators, tire pressure monitoring
systems or start-stop systems
are increasingly available, but
cooperative systems and connected
cars are also just around the corner.
Such systems will completely
transform the way vehicles interact
with their surroundings, so we want
consumers to understand the potential
benefits to them and embrace such
innovations. By utilising the FIA’s
network of celebrity motorsport
drivers, and by hosting large-scale
demonstration events which also give
the public the opportunity to test
drive new systems, we hope to bring
innovations closer to the consumer.
The FIA is leading the coordination
of the project, which has a budget of
€1.5m running over two years, working
with partners ACEA, CLEPA, ERTICO
and VTT. Studies documenting the
socioeconomic impact and benefits
of ITS systems are also included in
the project’s remit. Our first event
took place before the annual FIA
prize giving ceremony in December
of last year in Istanbul where the
winners of this year’s GT1, WEC,
WRC, and WTCC competitions took
part in an informal ecodriving race
in which GT champions Marc Basseng
and Marcus Winkelhock proved to
be the most efficient drivers. It
was great fun to get the fastest FIA
champions competing for a whole
new way of driving compared to how
they usually drive during races. We
have a number of events planned for
2013 across Europe. We plan to be at
the International Transport Forum in
Leipzig and the European ITS Congress
in Dublin.
FIA Region I represents
the interests of European
automotive member clubs with
the European Union institutions.
What policy or political issues
do you think should be addressed
or supported in terms of road
safety, consumer protection,
environmental protection and the
promotion of sustainable motoring?
At the European level, we are
generally supportive of the
direction the European Commission
is taking to promote mobility in a
sustainable manner for all. One of
the big discussions at the moment
in Parliament and Council is on
proposed tighter limits for CO2
emissions for cars and vans. Although
we have expressed our concern about
the accuracy of the current testing
procedure, we are supportive of
the new targets as a means of both
saving money for consumers in terms
of fuel costs, and also of improving
the environment. We are therefore
closely monitoring the decision
making process to ensure that the 95
g target is not excessively weakened
with flexibilities and brings about the
expected benefits to the majority of
consumers.
On Tuesday 24 July, the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, received a delegation from the FIA which included Jean Todt, President of the FIA, Carlos Barbosa, Vice-President of the FIA and President of the Automovel Club de Portugal (ACP), and the Director General of the FIA Region I office in Brussels, Jacob Bangsgaard.
One of our key issues of concern is
ensuring the mandatory introduction
of the eCall system by 2015 on the
basis of an open platform and open
competition between different
service providers. The European
Parliament adopted a report last
year supporting the implementation
of eCall in such terms, and it’s now
the European Commission’s turn
to introduce legislation which will
ensure that the emergency service
infrastructure of Member States is
ready for 2015. An eCall in-vehicle
system which is accessible free of
charge and without discrimination
to all stakeholders - providers of car
aftermarket products and services,
equipment suppliers, repair shops
and independent service providers,
Founded in 1904, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) brings together leading national motoring organisations from 132 countries worldwide and is the governing body for world motor sport.
The FIA Region I office, based in Brussels, is a consumer body representing 106 Motoring and Touring Clubs and their 36 million members from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office aims to provide strong representation of European Member Club interests towards the European Union institutions; to build up links and support the exchange of best practices across the region; and to engage in new campaign activities such as the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign.
Key priorities for FIA Region I:
• Mobility: Supporting efficient and affordable mobility for all.
• Safety: Promoting 5-star drivers, in 5-star cars on 5-star roads.
• Environment: Offering intelligent mobility solutions for sustainable transport.
• Consumer Protection: Defending consumers’ interests.
• Tourism: Ensuring sustainable tourism and protecting passengers’ rights.
roadside assistance and related
services - will save thousands of lives
while also bringing a range of new
telematics services to consumers.
Other issues which we will be following
closely in the coming months include
the proposals put forward in the
roadworthiness package, an expected
new proposal on air passenger rights,
and the right of road patrols to get
standardised access to repair and
maintenance information in the
future – an ongoing issue which is
of real importance to our Clubs and
their members.
The pan-European eCall project
notched up another success in
December, with the opening of a
new eCall testing centre in Japan.
Launched in the city of Yokosuka it
is the first eCall test facility outside
Europe and will allow Japanese car
makers to test systems destined
for the European Union.
Designed to reduce emergency
response times, the “112” eCall
service is a pan-European,
interoperable M2M system that
allows vehicles (and passengers) to
automatically call for help in the
case of a road incident.
The centre was launched by
Gemalto and Fujitsu Ten in
collaboration with Yokosuka
Telecom Research Park.
ERTICO’s Andy Rooke (HeERO
Project Coordinator) attended the
opening event in December along
with Marcel Visser, Vice President of
Automotive at Gemalto. Mr Visser
said: “By enabling local testing
of eCall technology, Gemalto
and its partners are streamlining
manufacturing and helping global
automakers achieve significant
time and cost efficiencies”.
