What are you personally looking forward to most at the Vienna Congress?
I am looking forward to meeting potential members to explain what is behind this de facto industry standard and why this is an enabling technology for predictive map-based systems for safe and clean mobility. On the other hand the Congress will be great with all demos presented and Vienna is a great city that I am sure I will enjoy!

Why did TISA decide to have a stand at Vienna?
Amaury Cornelis TISA Coordinator and Stéphanie Chaufton TISA Administrator: The European ITS Congress at Lyon in 2011 was the first time TISA had an independent stand at an ITS Congress and it was a great success for TISA and for our members. It was an easy decision to offer our membership the opportunity again this year and a vote of confidence in the ITS Congress that more of our members reacted so positively.
What is going on at the stand? What are the highlights?
There really is a lot going on at the TISA stand not to mention the various demonstrations elsewhere -iBiquity GEWI INRIX Continental and Fraunhofer–ask us for details!
We have a TISA/EasyWay demo on demand continuing our successful cooperation that began with last year’s MoU. This year just ask us about DATEX-TPEG interoperability!
TISA Member bmt – Bayerische Medien Techniek GmbH will present their TPEG know-who with playout and analysis tools. Furthermore the world’s first TPEG2-ADT based client will demonstrate TPEG2 technology in combination with public transport.
And last but not least a BMW series 1 convertible will show what TPEG Applications can offer to the drivers in terms of real-time traffic event information.
What are you personally looking forward to most at the Vienna Congress?
Stéphanie Chaufton: Meeting the TISA members face-to-face once again! Over the years we have developed a very productive relationship and it is always good to see everybody. That’s also why I’m glad we are able to host TISA members on our stand – it’s just another way TISA is working for the benefit of its members. And finally… I’m very much looking forward to the BMW convertible demo!
Amaury Cornelis: I’m looking forward to a very successful event for TISA! We’ve all put a lot of work into Vienna and I’m sure we will get even more out of it. Seeing TISA and EasyWay work together once again is also a pleasure… and I’m also looking forward to trying to waltz at the Gala dinner!
What is going on at the ERTICO stand? What are the highlights?
Anna Limbrey Partnership Services Manager: The ERTICO stand will be as is traditional the best meeting and networking area in the Congress! And have the best coffee!

So if you have a few moments spare I invite you to the ERTICO stand!
What are you personally looking forward to most at the Vienna Congress?
Meeting up with current ERTICO Partners many of whom I have known for years – and of course the possibility of convincing potential new Partners to join!
