TN-ITS Specifications for Road Data Exchange in Europe
2021-05-27 15:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Brussels) | Online
The TN-ITS platform, coordinated by ERTICO, was inaugurated in 2013 and brings together a number of road authorities and leading map & service providers to further develop the harmonised and automated exchange of (changes) of road data on European roads. The focus is clearly on ‘static’ road attributes, which are vital elements of a reference geospatial base layer, enabling reliable services as route planning, navigation, ADAS, vehicle automation, etc. This refers to changes of Speed Restrictions, Traffic Signs, Parking Information, EV Charging Points, etc.
The platform acts as the keeper of the TN-ITS Technical Specifications, which were released by CEN in 2018 (CEN TS 17268) and describe the exchange data model, the format and the interface. A dedicated working group on Specifications interacts with the TN-ITS service deployment projects (TN-ITS GO), other relevant standardisation platforms in Europe, and the major stakeholders – including the European Commission. It is also responsible for maturing/extending the Technical Specifications and ensuring these specs are aligned with those in ‘related’ domains as traffic, public transport, EVs, etc.
This webinar will provide a general introduction to the Technical Specifications.
First, the President of the TN-ITS, Christian Kleine, from HERE will give a concise overview of the platform. He will be followed by Stephen T’Siobbel, the specifications working group leader representing ERTICO, who will discuss the high level aspects of the TN-ITS specifications.
A deeper dive will be provided by Knut Jetlund from the Norwegian Public Road Authorities, a former member of the CEN project team that shaped the TS from earlier research results, and a spatial data / standardisation expert.
Next we have invited a (Linked) Open Data expert to elaborate upon the (technical) connection between TN-ITS and the Open Data world. We conclude with proposing a number of relevant upcoming actions and initiatives by our project manager Frank Daems from ERTICO.
Additional information about the webinar and regular updates can be found on LinkedIn on the TN-ITS page.

Trust is a must, how to deploy CCAM in a safe and trusted manner
2021-09-22 14:10 - 15:40 (Europe/Brussels)
Safety is often addressed in CCAM R&I and piloting initiatives with the assumption that it is part of the process to build trust. Numerous large scale demonstrations and pilots are taking place with an objective to test and validate technical developments but are not necessarily addressing the mobility needs of citizens. Beyond raising user awareness, additional steps are needed to achieve trust. To ensure that society embraces the innovative CCAM solutions that will be developed and deployed, these will have to reflect the needs and expectations of future users.
Building on the outcomes of the EUCAD2021 conference, panellists will discuss the EU ambitions, lessons learned from EU-funded R&I and shuttle pilot activities, the role of the CCAM Partnership and how trust can be nurtured from inception to use by involving citizens, cities and future users in a co-creation process to support the deployment of inclusive, shared, human-centric mobility solutions.
Dr Stephane Dreher from ERTICO-ITS Europe will present the results of a meta-analysis of more than 60 Horizon 2020 funded projects on CCAM carried out by partners of the ARCADE support action coordinated by ERTICO with a focus on lessons learned and R&I priorities for trustworthiness and large scale testing.

The Data-Driven Urban Mobility in Europe is a virtual event taking place on Thursday, 27 January, from 09:00 – 5:00 pm (CET). The discussion aims to highlight the recent developments in creating a Common European Mobility Data Space. By bringing together experts from leading stakeholders in the Intelligent Transportation Service (ITS) Community, Frank Daems, I&D Senior Manager at ERTICO will present insights on the status of data sharing within EU cities from the ERTICO’s City Moonshot Initiative. Mr Daems is also going to highlight why and how the ITS Community and relevant stakeholders should harness cities’ intentions for sharing data and further address the insights in todays’ EU strategy on open data sharing by authorities and related systems’ topologies.
With the progress so far, including policies and regulatory frameworks for data-driven smart urban mobility, the European Commission’s country-level initiatives strive to create a mobility data space, with key benefits, challenges and the way forward. The conference will provide a platform for transit agencies, governments, cities and private companies to explore data-driven solutions for integrated multimodal transport, ITS, operations optimisation, stakeholder communication through data visualisation, network planning and high-quality customer service. Amongst many key topics, data governance regulation, the impact on mobility, and the creation of Common European Mobility Data Space will be highlighted throughout the discussion.
