On 14 and 15 November 2018, the European ITS Platform (EU EIP) organizes its bi-annual European conference on traffic management, the ITS Forum 2018. The main theme of the Forum is “Traffic Management in a changing world: Digitalization, Multimodality, Smart Infrastructures”. Jacob Bangsgaard, ERTICO CEO; Johanna Tzanidaki, Director of Innovation and Deployment (I&D) and Frank Daems, Senior Manager(I&D) will attend the Forum in order to present the contributions of ERTICO in this domain.

ERTICO and its network members partners build and deploy a consistent ITS roadmap, executing concrete projects through the TN-ITS, TM2.0 and MaaS Alliance platforms. The focus of TN-ITS platform is strongly on the digitalization of public infrastructure and the mechanisms for seamless map data updates towards service providers. These mechanisms enable enhanced traffic management information streams and services to current smart digital infrastructures. The ever growing dynamics of services emerge via advanced MaaS activities that are further explored in the EU-EIP2 proposal initiative. TM 2.0 is advancing enhanced traffic management and looks at the organisational, operational and services level. These topics are further elaborated in the ITS Forum sessions on ‘multimodal passenger transport in traffic management’ and ‘Traffic Management: from System to Services’.

Events such as the ITS Forum are essential in bringing knowledge and intelligence to the table and encouraging debate, synergies and concrete plans for our changing world. Please find more information https://erticonetwork.com/its-forum-2018-traffic-management-in-a-changing-world/
