Why Co-operative Systems? Transport is essential to Europe s prosperity EU s transport 11% of GDP sector: 15 million jobs 13% of household spending It is an important industry and makes a major contribution to the functioning of the European economy as a whole Road transport: 44% of Freight 85% of Passengers Annual growth rates: 2.3 % of Freight 1.9 % Passengers European Transport Policy aims to provide safe and efficient mobility for our continent while respecting the environment EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 3
Safety 38.000 deaths on the roads (EU 2008) 1.7 million injured persons (EU27-2007) Human error involved in 93% of the accidents Congestion Represents a loss of 1% GDP yearly 10% of road network daily congested Energy Efficiency & Emissions Green house gases (CO2) Depending on fossil fuel Slow take-up of renewable fuels Additional challenges and socioeconomic trends Growth in demand Ageing of Europe's population Migration and internal mobility Increasing urbanisation The Challenges Future improvements are urgently needed EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 4

The EU Approach The EU Approach (1) Main principles Combines RTD, Coordination and Support and Policy Starts from the applications (safety and efficiency) Emphasises the need for a converging single Communications Architecture Promotes international standards and harmonisation (ETSI TC ITS, ISO/CALM, IEEE...) Encourages International co-operation (International WS on Vehicle Communications) Building on the results of earlier work (GST, PREVENT..)

Member States shall designate the frequency band 5 875-5 905 MHz for Intelligent Transport Systems Part of the Band Common with US, compatible with Japan EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 9
ITS deployment is slow in Europe... fast technical development => high number of mature applications, but not big enough market to support commercial deployment (with a few exceptions) EU and Standards (1) Why we need standards? benefits and return on investments highly depending on the scale of deployment Organisational issues: EU level, national level, regional level, local level actors; responsibilities not clearly defined Many actors have different interests and objectives (policy, commercial) To function ITS services and systems need to be interoperable, which would need co-operation between the stakeholders which is not always there Co-existence of commercial and public services not solved (e.g. Real-Time Traffic Information) patchwork of national, regional and local solutions Lack of architecture and standards EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 10

EU and Standards (3) esafety Forum HL Group The 38th Steering Group Meeting of the esafety Forum Tuesday, 15th December 2009: As standardisation is so important and complicated issue, a high level working group chaired by the EC shall be established The group will handle in particular the interactions with the other standardisation bodies active at this moment This high level working group shall be established quickly and the issue is to be brought into discussion again at the next SG meeting in March.

Intelligent Transport Systems About the Future (1) ICT is a solution for the problems of transport Present new solutions contributing to solve societal challenges related to transport: Reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on the roads by alerting the driver of dangers Increase overall performance of the transport systems by reducing congestion Contribute to a more efficient use of fuels by better vehicle and traffic management EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 19
About the Future (2) Next Steps To realise the potential of ITS including Co-operative Systems, we need Moving ahead with common harmonised standards between ETSI, ISO, IEEE, CEN, IETF and projects Use of the Common pan-european Architecture and Open Platforms Policy support through ITS Action Plan, the Intelligent Car Initiative and the esafety Forum International Cooperation and harmonisation Proof of concept and demonstrations EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2 nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 20
