The registration for the ITS Austria Conference 2014 in cooperation with the Danube Region Strategy, taking place on 25th and 26th of September 2014 at the TechGate Vienna, has opened.

With the title “Bridging Boundaries” international experts will discuss challenges and solutions for ITS deployment with a specific focus on the Danube Region. This event will look at a closer cooperation between stakeholders resulting in a common understanding of next steps towards the creation of a roadmap for cross-boundary deployments in different ITS domains.

In detail, the first day of the conference will deal with national issues, such as the Austrian ITS Action Plan and Catalogue of Measures 2014. After lunch the international part starts with key note speeches by representatives of the European Commission, ITS Austria as well as the Danube Region Strategy. Thereafter, representatives of different platforms and institutions discuss the question of: “Will the implementation of the ITS Directive in the Danube Region work as a boost for service delivery?” resulting in a discussion on how national solutions will contribute to common cross-border services.

The second day focuses on four dedicated workshops with representatives from the Danube Region:

• Workshop 1: cross-border Traveller information services for Central Europe (supported by EDITS)
• Workshop 2: Implementation of the ITS Directive (supported by the Crocodile project)
• Workshop 3: Harmonisation of Electronic Toll Collection (supported by REETS)
• Workshop 4: Development of a Road Map for the Danube Region (supported by the Danube Region Strategy)

The registration is now open.
