CooperativeMobility… …towards fully connected travellers, vehicles and infrastructure The development of cooperative systems, based on an exchange of information and communication between vehicles and with the road infrastructure, is moving forward rapidly. As the technology evolves, there is a need to streamline and integrate potential cooperative applications within a coherent and open system architecture. This open in-vehicle and roadside platform would guarantee interoperability with infrastructure systems and facilities. Our activities in the CooperativeMobility sector mainly focus on: »»
“X2X” communication: connect travellers and goods to provide cooperative services, connect vehicles with each other and link vehicles with nearby roadside equipment and transport infrastructure.
»»
Cooperative monitoring: collect real-time vehicle-based data about road, traffic and environment status and accidents.
»»
Cooperative safety applications: provide local hazard warnings, enable “the safe intersection”, deliver safe speed and “ghost-driver” warning.
»»
Cooperative traffic management: use vehicles as “virtual loop detectors”, display in-vehicle “virtual VMS”, enable vehicle to traffic control centre interaction for smooth driving.

Improving city logistics – CITYLOG The CITYLOG project aims at increasing the sustainability and efficiency of urban goods delivery through adaptive and integrated mission management coupled with innovative vehicle solutions. Three action domains have been identified to improve today’s city logistics system: »» Logistics-oriented telematics services will improve mission planning processes through optimised routing and driver support systems. The number of unsuccessful deliveries will be reduced by extending tracking and communication capabilities to include final customers, who will have a greater choice of the time and location of deliveries »» Vehicle technologies are improved, to increase the operational flexibility of lorries and vans. Vehicles will be able to support multiple mission profiles, so fewer will be needed on city roads. Innovative handling of load units will create interoperability amongst different operators’ delivery vehicles »» Innovative load units are designed to operate, like the vehicles, in various missions. A reconfigurable internal layout enables different uses, either as a simple container or as a mobile pack station (the “BentoBox” concept). In the latter case, the goal is to synchronise the delivery process between operators and final customers in order to reduce unsuccessful deliveries
Objectives The innovative approach of CITYLOG will help to decrease the number of delivery trucks in urban areas and to optimise their use, while bringing an increased quality of services for customers.

Smart Transport Applications Designed for large events with Impacts on Urban Mobility – STADIUM The STADIUM project aims to improve the performance of transport systems made available to a wide and differentiated range of users in the framework of large events hosted by big cities. The term “performance” is used here as covering several dimensions, including the efficiency of the transport services (frequency, punctuality, reliability etc.), their comfort, affordability and ease of use, their safety and security, as well as their impact on the broader community of citizens in areas such as congestion, air quality, accident risk which affect both users and non-users of transport services. Hosting a large event for a city is both a challenge and a big opportunity. The latter because it is an occasion to improve the infrastructures, beyond the dedicated ones, and services in order to bring the city to a higher level of efficiency after the events. The challenges come from the exceptional rise of resource allocation in a limited time due to the superimposition of the event’s connected impacts over the normal city functions. Transport is one of the most complex, critical and sensitive sectors in the hosting of large events, regardless of the size and level of development of the Host City. Most of its complexity derives from the obligations set by the International Bodies (i.e. IOC, CGF, FIFA, UEFA, BIE) over the Local Organising Committee (LOC), responsible in full for the harmonisation of the event’s functional transport services with the transport system under the responsibility of the Local Authorities.
Objectives STADIUM’s specific aims are: »» The identification, design and implementation of demonstrators in selected sites (India, South Africa, London) where large events are planned within the timeframe of the project. These demonstrators will concentrate on specific applications, involving the innovative use of advanced technologies and solutions that are expected to contribute to increasing the level of performance of transport services in all or most of the targeted performance dimensions »» The design, production and testing of an integrated handbook to support all players involved in the organisation and implementation of transport services for large events

ECO trainEr For Fleet CommErcial truCks and lighT vehicles – ECOeffect The ECOeffect project is a focused initiative to deliver capacity building and market stimulation in Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic to support the development and implementation of eco-driving schemes. Eco-driving has proven benefits for fleet and commercial operators. Many research projects have already quantified the impact that driving in an efficient manner can have. Returns in fuel efficiency from 5 to 15 percent can be realised if training and correct monitoring is put in place. The European Commission promotes the benefits of eco-driving in its Green Paper “Towards a new culture for urban mobility” (adopted in 2007), and eco-driving is recognised as a tool to deliver significant savings on fuel consumption and thus reduce emissions and costs in the road transport sector.
Objectives The ECOeffect project will design and develop a stand-alone 1-day eco-driving course that will incorporate the best practice from the project partners, building on other European projects and knowledge from industry leaders in eco-driving. ECOeffect will also develop and design a three-day train-the-trainer module that will be targeted at training centres in the three target markets. Training providers offering courses in professional commercial transport will be invited into the project to undergo the train-the-trainers programme and be certified to deliver the ECOeffect 1-day programme to transport operators. ECOeffect aims to equip training providers to deliver high quality eco-driving training; to provide knowledge and expertise in market eco-driving to transport operators; to promote the integration of eco-driving into professional driver qualification and certification.

Supporting International Cooperation for a common assessment methodology of ITS impact – ECOSTAND Europe, Japan and the USA share the conviction that ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for Transport can make a significant contribution to reducing the environmental impact of transport. However, it is essential to know which applications and technologies (and in which context and combination) are likely to be the most effective. There is therefore a need for a well-validated and generally endorsed methodology which accurately and reliably measures the effects of ITS on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. A Task Force involving the European Commission and the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has been active since March 2008 to that end. In addition, in January 2009, an agreement was signed between the EC and the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) of the US Department of Transport (DoT) to deepen the collaboration on cooperative systems and the “greening” of transport. ECOSTAND was established to support these existing bilateral activities and provide a platform for cooperation between the three regions in working towards standardisation.
Objectives Building on the work conducted so far, ECOSTAND aims to: »» Provide the necessary support and European expert knowledge to facilitate the continuation of this international collaboration »» Define roadmaps on a future research agenda and the elaboration of a standardised assessment methodology This will be achieved by organising a series of symposia, rotating amongst the three regions, to facilitate the exchange of ideas, experience and information and gather feedback to be translated into policy advice papers.

Piloting urban freight energy efficiency – FREILOT The FREILOT pilot focuses on reducing energy consumption of goods delivery vehicles in urban areas. The specific energy consumption of urban goods transport depends on many factors: vehicle performance, driver behaviour, urban geography and the road network, traffic control strategies and performance, weight of the vehicle and its load to name but a few. Clearly no realistic single measure can address all these aspects and lead to a significant increase in energy efficiency. A holistic and integrated approach is needed combining various measures that can be implemented without excessive cost and with the necessary public acceptance. The FREILOT services aim to increase energy efficiency drastically in road goods transport in urban areas through a holistic treatment of traffic management, fleet management, the delivery vehicle and the driver, and demonstrate in four linked pilot projects that up to 25% reduction of fuel consumption in urban areas is feasible.
Objectives The FREILOT project is piloting the following services: »» Traffic management: Energy efficiency optimised intersection control »» Vehicle: Adaptive acceleration and speed limiters »» Driver: Enhanced “green driving” support »» Fleet management: Real-time loading/delivery space booking The services are piloted in four European sites: Lyon-France, Helmond-Netherlands, Krakow-Poland and Bilbao-Spain, showcasing the benefits of the service and ease of implementing it in different parts of Europe.

Harmonised eCall European Pilot – HeERO HeERO addresses the deployment of the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call service “eCall” based on 112/E112, the single European Emergency number. The in-vehicle eCall is an emergency call generated either automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors or manually by vehicle occupants. When activated following an incident, the in-vehicle eCall system establishes a voice connection directly with the relevant PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point), this being either a public or a private eCall emergency centre operating under the regulation and/or authorisation of a public body. At the same time, a minimum set of incident data (MSD) is sent to the PSAP operator receiving the voice call, which defines the unique identification of vehicle and its location. The eCall service uses the common European standards defined by ETSI and CEN.
Objectives »» HeERO will prepare, carry-out and coordinate eCall pre-deployment pilots at European level taking into account the approved standards »» The overall project objective is to prepare for the deployment of the necessary infrastructure in Europe with the aim of making the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call service eCall a reality

Networking for Field Operational Tests – FOT-Net A Field Operational Test (FOT) consists of a comprehensive programme of research to assess the impact of ICT systems on driver behaviour, both in terms of individual benefits and larger scale socio-economic benefits. During the lifetime of the different FOTs carried out both at the National and European level, there is a crucial need for a platform of knowledge exchange in order to let individual FOTs benefit from each others’ learning experiences. The FOT-Net project is addressing this need.
Objectives FOT-Net has been in place since 2008 as the networking platform for stakeholders involved or interested in FOTs. While the focus so far was mainly on building up the FOT network and promoting the FESTA methodology, the next phase will explicitly address issues raised by the FOT network which need common European positions. FOT-Net aims to further develop the strategic networking of national, European and global FOTs. Throughout the next three years, the FOT Network will meet in six bi-annual FOT stakeholders meetings and three international FOT meetings. The FESTA methodology will be further refined, based on recent FOT experiences. Through targeted meetings, FOT-Net gathered the relevant experts to revise and adapt the FESTA methodology for FOTs on ADAS, nomadic devices, cooperative systems, and naturalistic driving. In addition, FOT-Net created five new expert working groups to clarify critical topics related to legal and ethical issues, data analysis, incident definition, impact assessment, and data sharing. The revised FESTA methodology will be promoted through six seminars. A new web-based inventory has been created of existing tools for data acquisition, database structure, and data analysis, to facilitate the set-up of new FOTs. FOT-Net will continue to act as a multiplier, raising awareness for, and promoting FOT activities, especially in terms of inter-activities support and outreach. Finally, FOT-Net will evaluate contributions of FOTs to policy goals and market deployment, using an improved methodology for stakeholders’ analysis.

Advancing map-enhanced driver assistance systems – ADASIS Forum To enable and/or enhance the functionalities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), vehicle manufacturers want to access and use the information provided by navigation systems such as map data, vehicle position and speed. Today, however, navigation map databases are only accessible to navigation applications and stored in the proprietary format of the navigation system. In order for ADAS applications to access this data, an appropriate information exchange interface must be defined. This is the overall aim of the ADASIS Forum. However, technology is not the only obstacle for the deployment of map-enhanced ADAS applications. To ensure that the technology developed by the ADASIS Forum actually makes it off the drawing board and test tracks and onto the roads, the Forum is devoting time and effort to encourage the automotive industry to exploit the results and accelerate market introduction.
Objectives Define a standardised data model to represent map data ahead of the vehicle (the so-called ADAS horizon). Determine data requirements, namely a list of: »» ADAS requirements necessary for the creation or generation of the ADAS horizon »» Define the functional architecture necessary to build the ADAS horizon, including a representation of its evolution over time »» Determine the software interface specifications necessary to build/access the ADAS horizon, including the protocols necessary to handle the required data stream »» Liaise with national/international activities relevant to digital maps and ADAS applications »» Identify the standardisation body to which ADASIS specifications will be submitted and establish a proactive link with the corresponding expert group »» Explore commercial vehicles’ needs in terms of applications and road data attributes

International Cooperation ERTICO - ITS Europe has established strong links with the international ITS community. The knowledge shared through partnerships in other regions can be valuable in developing appropriate ITS solutions in all regions, while ERTICO’s cooperation with these areas contributes to the establishment of European ITS standards and provides early market access opportunities for ERTICO - ITS Europe Partners. ERTICO - ITS Europe has for several years had a significant portfolio of international cooperation activities with US, Japan, Russia, China and Brazil. In the context of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by ERTICO - ITS Europe and ITS Russia the eCall / ERA GLONASS working group has made significant progress to harmonise the European eCall standards and the Russian ERA GLONASS standards. In October 2011 ERTICO – ITS Europe and ITS China signed a Memorandum of Understanding to further strengthen cooperation activities. ERTICO - ITS Europe has further developed strong links with the international ITS community in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region through ITS America and ITS Asia-Pacific respectively, especially in terms of coorganising the ITS World Congresses. The following countries are examples of the ERTICO - ITS Europe portfolio of international cooperation activities: »» Japan: Support to EC Japan bilateral cooperation agreement on standardisation, communication technologies for cooperative systems, and energy efficiency »» USA: Support to EC US bilateral cooperation agreement on standardisation, communication technologies for cooperative systems and Field Operational Tests »» China: MoU with ITS China - multimodal journey planning, traffic and traveller information, communication in ITS and harmonisation of ITS standards »» Russia: MoU with ITS Russia - eCall, transport corridor and ITS for large events »» Brazil: Multimodal journey planning, traffic and traveller information, and ITS for large events Having close ties with these emerging markets has clear benefits. The knowledge shared through these partnerships can be valuable in developing appropriate ITS solutions to enhance safety and mobility on both sides, while ERTICO - ITS Europe cooperation with these areas contributes to the establishment of European ITS standards and provides early market access opportunities for ERTICO - ITS Europe Partners.

Thematic Papers...

Delivery channels for Traffic and Traveller Information (TTI) services - 22/12/2010 This Thematic Paper is intended to provide some background information about the delivery of TTI services and the issues that Radio Regulation needs to consider for the ubiquitous availability of TTI data services. TTI services may be delivered by “1-to-1” (point-to-point) or “1-to-a few” channels (point-to-multipoint) such as provided by mobile phone networks or they may be delivered by “1-to-many” channels such as provided by broadcast technology. There have been many studies regarding the business models of these delivery channels and there is no doubt that the former has significant cost. Nevertheless the perceived information value may not be appreciated or even evaluated by the end user because worthwhile content is obtained and thus the end-user will have little appreciation of delivery channel economics. This Paper does not wish to make any value judgement about the costs, but wishes to ensure that broadcast technology is retained as a viable delivery channel, in view of its highly economical capability.
ITS and urban mobility - 23/12/2010 Europe’s urban areas are at the sharp end of the drive to make mobility truly sustainable, with reduced CO2 emissions and pollution, fewer accidents, less congestion, and where everyone has full and accurate information about all journey and transport choices. Only the technologies and tools of cooperative ITS hold the potential to deliver solutions to these challenges, and ERTICO and its Partners are committed to realising their benefits as quickly as possible through support for Europe-wide deployment. ERTICO has already made major contributions to develop the necessary applications and will further strengthen its engagement to bring intelligence into mobility and offer a win-win situation both for urban communities and businesses.
Pre-Commercial Procurement - 3/3/2011 The ERTICO – ITS Europe Partnership supports the use of Pre-Commercial Procurement as an important tool to achieve the deployment of ITS. Pre-Commercial Procurement will be the perfect complement from the demand side of all the current political initiatives to support the development and deployment of ITS applications. As it is a new concept, however, exploratory work is still on-going. Public authorities have expressed a need for more guidance before they use this process, and so have the private actors, who are potential participants in PCP. ERTICO – ITS Europe has been therefore engaged with its partners for several years to research and better understand the PCP process in order to use it for ITS. Good results were achieved through the iCars Network; and currently, with the coordination of the P3ITS project, ERTICO – ITS Europe is seeking to form practical guidelines and disseminate the concept in the ITS sector. The next step to look forward to is obviously the actual use of PCP to deploy ITS, and ERTICO – ITS Europe will strongly support any related activities. There is now a need to promote awareness and an open stakeholder dialogue on this issue.

ERTICO input to European Commission consultation on “Strategic Transport Technology Plan� - 9/3/2011 ITS is in an important transition phase from deployed island solutions with very limited data exchange networks and lack of interoperability towards a comprehensive co-modal data exchange network and seamless mobility services, where people, goods and vehicles are continuously and ubiquitously connected receiving or sending useful data/information. The most challenging tasks for the European Institutions will be to establish a common vision, common goals, common roadmaps and a coherent long-term strategy to support deployment of the relevant services. This ERTICO paper aims to make a contribution to successfully fulfilling these tasks. The ERTICO Partners, including all the necessary stakeholder sectors, are cooperating to advance the development and deployment of ITS in Europe and beyond. This is saving lives, reducing congestion and CO2 emissions, supporting electrification of vehicles and co-modality. In short: it is strengthening the sustainability of transport via bringing intelligence into mobility.
ITS for electrification of vehicles within the transport system - 5/4/2011 It has been shown that transport needs and demands grow with GDP. Climate change and the continuous decrease of non-renewable energy resources are therefore key challenges for society and the mobility of people and goods. Furthermore, by 2050 urban areas will account for about 70% of the world’s population; and aging will lead to an increase of Vulnerable Road Users who will have specific mobility needs. Cities will be under pressure to find sound solutions to handle the increase of mobility demand from citizens and goods. We need to rethink our mobility services and transport system under these new conditions in order to achieve significant CO2 reductions to preserve our environment, as well as continuing to offer our citizens and our economy efficient and safe transport means. FEVs are definitely part of the solution and will play an important role toward these challenges in offering efficient, clean, zero-emission and -noise urban mobility. The main challenges ahead are the use and acceptance of FEVs, as well as their integration in both the transport and the energy supply system. FEVs will lead to increased demand for ITS services which facilitate intermodal mobility (information, reservation, ticketing). There will also be a need for ITS services to facilitate the interlink between the electric vehicle and the grid.

ITS for Urban Mobility: Safer, cleaner and smarter cities - 15/11/2011 The deployment of ITS in urban areas is crucial to solve the transport problems of today and to ensure sustainable transport in the future. The ERTICO – ITS Europe Partnership supports several activities concerned with ITS for safer, cleaner and smarter urban mobility. This thematic paper gives an overview of the European policy framework concerning urban ITS, introduces some ITS applications which are already making urban mobility more sustainable, and suggests deployment steps to be taken by regional and local authorities for the successful implementation of ITS. In the future, ITS will provide information to the traveller, driver, traffic manager, logistics company and fleet operator to enable appropriate decisions and support. This will not only improve mobility for the citizen but also provide a milestone for the sustainability of transport in cities. Cities face similar problems and can in many cases adopt similar ITS solutions. Nevertheless, local authorities may need some local adaption of ITS solutions answering to their specific needs. ITS is a powerful tool to help achieve policy outcomes and it is vitally important for cities to know that procured ITS applications support the traffic management tasks of cities’ traffic management centres, help fulfil the expectations of their citizens in the long term, and are cost-efficient. It is useful for cities to receive advice on the quality of ITS applications and services before making tender and procurement decisions. The ERTICO - ITS Europe Partnership will continue to support cities in identifying appropriate ITS solutions to meet their challenges.
