Abstract:
In 2010 the European Commission has launched the ‘European ITS Action
Plan’ to encourage the harmonized implementation of ITS in the road
transportation system across the EU Member States. This action plan
addresses 6 areas with in all 24 specific measures where member states
of the European Union are legally binded to install cross border ITS
in an harmonized way. This has to be seen in the context of the most
recent technological developments in the area of co-operative systems
in road transportation. A critical analyses of these developments
highlight interesting similarities between ITS developments on other
modes of transport. It will be shown that these trends will strongly
impact the developments in traffic management and set-up of an
integrated transportation system in the near future.
