Why Co-operative Systems?Transport is essential to Europe’s prosperity

• EU’s transport 11% of GDP

sector: 15 million jobs13% 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

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 3

• Annual growth rates: 2.3 % of Freight 1.9 % Passengers

European Transport Policy aims toprovide safe and efficient mobility for our

continent while respecting the environment

The ChallengesFuture improvements are urgently needed

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)

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 4

• Green house gases (CO2)• Depending on fossil fuel• Slow take-up of renewable fuels

Additional challenges and socio-economic trends

• Growth in demand • Ageing of Europe's population• Migration and internal mobility

• Increasing urbanisation

The EU Approach (1)Main principles

The EU Approach

– 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

– Encourages International co-operation (International WS on Vehicle Communications)

– Building on the results of earlier work (GST, PREVENT..)

� The purpose is to harmonise the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the frequency band 5 875-5 905 MHz for safety related applications of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in the Community.

� 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 and Standards (1)Why we need standards?

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)

• 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,

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 10

• 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 and Standards (2) EC Support to Standardisation

• Setting of the priorities– Regular discussions at the eSafety Forum and its Working

Groups

– ITS Standardisation Steering Group (ITS-SG)

• EC Mandate 453 to ESOs for ITS Cooperative Systems standardisation

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 11

Systems standardisation

• Funding of standardisation activities:– ICT Standardisation Work Programme

• Specialist Task Forces on EETS

• Specialist Task Forces on coop. systems

• Specialist Task Forces on eCall

– ICT Calls under Framework Programmes

– Mandate 453 funding

• ITS Action Plan

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

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 12

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

Present new solutions contributing to solve societal challenges related to transport:

Reduce the number of fatalities and injurieson the roads by alerting the driver of dangers

About the Future (1)ICT is a solution for the problems of transport

EU vision on Cooperative Mobility. 2nd ETSI TC ITS WS, 10/02/10 Page 19

Contribute to a more efficient use of fuelsby better vehicle and traffic management

Increase overall performance of the transportsystems by reducing congestion

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
