o Working together for the safe, secure, clean, efficient
and comfortable mobility of people and goods thanks to
ITS
o Public-private, multi-sector partnership with over 100
Partners from industry, infrastructure & telecom
operators, public authorities, research institutes and
users.
o Bringing ‘Intelligence into mobility’ through
cooperation with all stakeholders

eCall: Pan-European in-vehicle emergency call
-Public service 112-based only
-As defined in the MoU
-Voice + MSD to relevant PSAP
- 112-based, with or without
intermediation platform under
Public delegation

Elements of cooperative mobility systems
o Data collection
o Cooperative traffic control
o Traveller support
o Integrated network management

Data Collection
The collection of traffic, road & environment
data across the entire urban transport network
helps travellers choose the best route, and
helps network managers detect & manage
problems
o Data collection & integration from moving
vehicles & travellers
o Incident & hazard detection
o Real-tim traffic & fleet service

14
Cooperative traffic control
Vehicles communicate & interact directly with
local traffic control systems, other roadside
infrastructures and with nearby vehicles
o In-vehicle display (« virtual traffic signs ») of
traffic light phase, turn restrictions, etc.
o « Clusters » of vehicles have more green time
travelling at recommended speed

15
Traveller support
Travellers receive real-time information about
traffic conditions and transport service
operations and make the best-informed
choices.
o Assisted route guidance, navigation
o Traffic inforrmation, hazard warnings
o Multimodal travel assistance
o Parking guidance & payment

16
Integrated network management
Network managers can select road network and
transport system strategies to achieve
optimum traffic distribution, respond to
changing demand, avoid sensitive areas and
react immediately to incidents.
o Incident response & event management
o Balanced management of demand
o Coordination and cooperation between all
traffic modes

Steps towards cooperative urban mobility
18
o Bring all cities up to « best practice » standards (e.g.
o
o
o
o
Urban Traffic Control systems can reduce delays by 20%)
Establish multi-sector EU-level roadmaps for
implementation of in-vehicle and roadside infrastructure
for cooperative mobility systems
Provide frameworks for technical standards, financial
instruments, public-private partnerships and
legislation/regulation
Support R&D and large scale field testing of new
cooperative systems, to provide evidence of cost, benefits,
impacts and effectiveness
Create effective EU-level and local partnerships of key
stakeholders for deployment initiatives
The Fully Networked Car
Geneva, 4-5 March 2009
Role of EU
o EU legal and/or non-legal framework to
facilitate deployment by urban authorities
o Definition of liabilities for providers of
cooperative urban mobility services
o Financial support for cities to encourage
deployment & take-up of cooperative urban
mobility systems
