ERTICO Forum Highlights Insights on Deployment
ERTICO - ITS Europe held a series of high-level workshops under
the theme of "Bringing Intelligence into Mobility - Deployment
challenges", as part of its annual Forum, held in Brussels on June
15, 2010.
An audience of approximately 200 representatives of public and
private stakeholders followed the debates and actively engaged in
the discussion via 'physical' or 'online' presence, as the forum
was transmitted via live webcast on www.erticoforum2010.eu
The first panel organised in the morning confronted representatives
of the various ITS sectors to present their vision of ITS today and
ambitions tomorrow.
A second panel organised in the morning enabled the exchange of
views and best practices regarding various countries' ITS
strategies. National associations, ministries and universities had
the opportunity to present their activities in the field of ITS in
their respective countries.
In the afternoon sessions, interesting insights were also drawn
from the Orange Business Services presentation on the
evolutions/revolutions in cellular networks and internet and their
impact on ITS.
A presentation of Continental Automotive focused on their vision
and focus on electrification in vehicles, in which ITS will play an
important role.
The last panel of the day focused on 'ITS deployment - custom made
and driven by competition'.
The ERTICO - ITS Europe annual Forum explored the current status
and ambitions of ITS as seen by differing stakeholder groups -
service providers, telecom operators, infrastructure providers,
manufacturers, the public sector and user groups.
High level representatives from each stakeholder group, as well as
representatives from the European institutions and international
organisations, presented and discussed state of the art ITS
services and future deployment plans up to 2020.
