ASECAP Perspective

ETSI TC ITS Workshop 4 - 6 February 2009
ETSI, Sophia Antipolis, France

• ASECAP
• The context
• The needs
• Main concerns
• The requirements
• Conclusions

• ASECAP Association
Européenne des
Concessionnaires d’Autoroutes et d’Ouvrages à Péage
• 135 Members from 20 countries operating over :
– 13.000 toll lanes
– 7.200 ETC lanes
– 12 million ETC subscribers
• Revenues over 19 Bn Euros
• Stands for the payment of the infrastructures by those using them

• The ASECAP vision for the future aims: “To assure at the motorway and bridge tolled concessions that users have a safe and rest stress or congestions and so under sustainable conditions.”

• Concerns
– Multi standard situation on cooperative systems must be minimized for concessionaires that must make an effort to define minimum number of alternative communications together with the National Road Authorities
– Integration of developments of CVIS, SAFESPOT and
COOPERS projects from FP6
– ITS SOA solutions rapid evolution and integration with tolling systems both Manual and EFC/EETS
– Galileo future and EC political pressure

• Motorway operators will need:
– Cooperative Systems working in order to be able to implement safety systems allowing accident avoidance
– Cooperative Systems that will allow to collect information
Systems as well as to give indications to vehicle users on best roads to follow according with different adopted criteria, like minimum consumption, cost, emissions and travel time, among others.

• Motorway operators will need:
– New systems able to deal with the amount of data that will be generated by the huge volumes of traffic running in the
TERN (Trans-European Road Network) regional and national situations
– Some international interaction should be expected not only on local cross-border TMP’s, but also on the main defined
TERN corridors where traffic management will be a major component

• Motorway operators will need:
– Tolling systems allowing an easy operation for both the users and the concessionaires and most probably

• The existence of standards clearly defining the communications V2I (bi-directional) are a major concern on cooperative systems number of networks to allow cooperative systems to have an adequate coverage for safety critical systems

• A quick definition of EETS may be done with the required timings so that the necessary definition work may be adequately executed the information to the road operator responsible for the road from where the eCall request was sent

• Increasing participation of motorway operators in the definition work of the specific systems standards
• Improvement on the speed of standards definition
• Clear frame for deployment both in terms of timeframe
• Consistency between the provisions from National and
European administrations and concession contracts

• In a world where the continuous technological evolution happens almost every day it is very difficult to keep up the pace, but an effort must be done effort, but the dialogue must be started so that more understanding exists among the different parties
• Current Workshop is a happy example of an event enabling the referred dialogue and ETSI should be congratulated for that.
