Drive, expertise and enthusiasm bring ITS to life in Croatia With Croatia becoming the 28th country joining the EU 1st July 2013, this article takes a close look at the current ITS status and future outlook in Croatia. by Maria De Rycke
ITS in Croatia has known a rapid and accelerated development in the recent two decades. ITS research projects backed by public and private initiatives led to the formation of the necessary collaborative platforms in Croatia for ITS development and deployment. The Republic of Croatia is committed to secure the safe, accurate, energy efficient and ecological and environmental friendly transportation of people and goods, especially with regard to the high number of tourists during the summer period. Hence Croatia’s focus on the implementation of new traffic management systems, parking management and intermodal transport . International harmonisation is also a key priority for Croatia. The adoption of the EU ITS Directive of 2011 (1) earmarked the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall (the European emergency number) as a national ITS priority. International harmonisation of transport systems also opens opportunities for wider, regional cooperation.
Sound platform for ITS development Already back in the 80s and 90s, road telematics was on the agenda in institutions such as the University of Zagreb and private companies such as Ericsson Nikola Tesla. At the end

ITS World Congress Preview The ERTICO Partnership at the 20th ITS World Congress, Tokyo by Ian Bearder
On 14 October 2013 the ITS World Congress begins in Tokyo. Known worldwide as a centre of innovation and digital expertise, Tokyo will host the world’s leading ITS experts and industry chiefs under the congress title “Open ITS to the Next”.
This is the 20th anniversary of the ITS World Congress, and the theme which focuses on how ITS will affect future generations, is a tribute to the importance of ITS both now and for future generations. As Hiroyuki Watanabe, explains,

Interview with: Akihiro Fujiwara & Yoshinari Shiraishi, FUJITSU TEN Japan is well known for its advancements in technology and intelligent transport systems with a constant aim to increase driver and passenger safety. The country is participating in a number of projects and activities on topics related to connected vehicles in cooperation with the EU (such as ECOSTAND and Compass4D), whilst a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) was signed by the European Commission (DG Information Society and Media) and the Road Bureau (Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) in June 2011. Amongst the nationwide companies, FUJITSU TEN is one of Japan’s flagship companies in the deployment of ITS, with a specific policy directed at “ensuring safety, creating a comfortable mobile space and protecting the global environment”. This month we take a closer look into FUJITSU TEN’s activities in this field. I had the pleasure of interviewing Akihiro Fujiwara (Vice President of the Technical Centre Nuremberg, FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH) and Yoshinari Shiraishi (Executive Chief Engineer, FUJITSU TEN LIMITED). This interview is particularly significant for us here at ERTICO as FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH recently became a Partner within ERTICO, joining our broad list of industry suppliers. Also, in 2012, FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH together with digital security company, GEMALTO, and ERTICO, launched the first facility for the European emergency number, eCall, testing in Japan. This represents a further step to support global car makers in complying with the new EU emergency response.

The EeIP is the coordination body that gathers relevant stakeholders associations and national groups supporting the implementation of a panEuropean in-vehicle emergency call in Europe. The European emergency call will be mandatory in all the cars as of 2015, however cars produced before 2015 not having the eCall system will have the possibility to install eCall in their cars. The RETRO task force set up the guidelines for an effective and harmonised fitting of the eCall on old cars.
