Public Authorities Platform Conference Call on eCall
2014-01-28 09:00 - 15:00
The proposed deployment date for Pan European eCall based on 112 is scheduled for October 2015. For Member States to be able to achieve this deployment date, there is a requirement for a complete understanding of what is required from a Member State, its PSAP, Mobile Network Operators and Emergency Services, to be able to respond effectively to this new technology.
ERTICO has been at the very heart of eCall deployment since 2002, and is currently the project coordinator for both of the HeERO projects who are actively guiding 15 member states to eCall readiness, along with another 6 countries who are being supported through the HeERO associate partner scheme.
We would like to bring this expertise to good use by providing dedicated and specific information to the ERTICO Public Authority Platform in understanding the necessary steps for eCall deployment.
As a first step ERTICO will stage a Conference Call on the 28th January 2014, in two identical sessions (for the flexibility of platform members) with the objective of starting this process. To assist in making this conference call a targeted event, we would ask that Public Authority Platform members forward to Andy Rooke, the HeERO Coordinator, the questions that are currently being asked in your respective countries. Please find questions received from the Swedish Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications as an example.
Please be advised that this Phone Conference will focus on deployment related questions. In case you have any questions or comments in the context of the European Commission legislative proposals, please send them directly to the European Commission using the following e-mail address: MOVE-ITS@ec.europa.eu.
From the work already carried out in HeERO it is very clear that there is no one solution for eCall, each solution will need to fit the requirements of the respective member state.
The event on the 28th January 2014, has been broken into 2 sessions:
10.00hrs to 12.00hrs
14.00hrs to 16.00hrs
To assist in planning for the event, please indicate to Andy Rooke, which session you would like to attend and send him your questions: a.rooke@mail.ertico.com. To ensure that the event goes smoothly we would ask you all to have responded by 17th January 2014.

VRA Webinar "Long Term Socio-Economic Effect of Mobility Automation in Cities"
2014-03-28 13:30 - 14:30
Save the Date!
WEBINAR: “LONG TERM SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECT OF MOBILITY AUTOMATION IN CITIES “
28 March 201414:30- 15:30 Brussels time (CET)
Speaker: Dr. Adriano Alessandrini (UniRoma)Moderator: Dr. Maxime Flament (ERTICO – ITS Europe)
How will the urban ecosystem change once the road vehicles will drive themselves? What will be the impact of these changes on industry, citizens and urban life-style?The Citymobil2 project, focusing on putting fully automated road transport systems in the market, started to reflect on what the consequences of this sudden shift toward automation will be for cities and beyond.Far from having an answer for all questions, the project has so far prepared a “blue-print” in which automation take-up scenarios are investigated and main drivers and potential consequences of each are sketched. The project will bring experts together (end of summer 2015) to discuss the scenarios in a Delphi procedure and any contribution from industries, cities and transport operator is essential.
A Q&A session moderated by Maxime Flament will conclude the webinar.

Compass4D: the real deployment of ITS services
2014-04-04 07:30 - 13:00 | 77, 77
In the past few years, the deployment of intelligent transport systems has been very high on the political agendas of the European Commission (through specific directives) and city authorities (though the development of urban mobility plans). Cities are now ready for full implementation of ITS and are waiting for smart and cost-effective mobility solutions. Also the users, such as fleet operators are asking for smart solutions to save fuel and reduce the emissions’ impact on the environment. We are ready for the last step towards a large scale deployment
Compass4D is the missing link between policy and action.
In a combined workshop and showcase event, we will discuss the necessary actions:

What should cities do? What do cities expect from the industry?
What is the role of European, national and local authorities?
Which are the appropriate business models to guarantee a successful C-ITS deployment?

On 4 April, the Compass4D consortium welcomes you to Helmond (The Netherlands) to answer these questions and to show some of the ITS services for safer and cleaner transport in a real traffic environment. A high level panel of ITS experts, user groups and politicians will give their views on smart mobility deployment.
A high level panel of ITS experts, user groups, public authorities and politicians (including EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn) will give their views on smart mobility deployment. To view all the speakers, download the agenda.
Participation is for free, but registration is required. Number of seats is limited. Please register here.

Content & Apps for Automotive Europe 2014

Harness eCall’s open platform to deliver Value Added Services in the Connected Car
The eCall initiative was given a big boost last week when the European Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee accepted the EC’s proposal to make the system required for all new cars from October 2015.
This has also come as welcome news to automakers who intend to leverage the platform to deliver deeper content, on top of emergency assistance – a topic high up on the agenda at Content & Apps for Automotive Europe 2014 (April 8-9, Munich).
eCall – The platform the auto–infotainment industry has been waiting for?
With all the signs suggesting that eCall will arrive in time for October 2015, OEMS, tier 1s and app developers are now seeing the urgency in exploring content opportunity on the eCall platform, with some infotainment professionals feeling grateful that the European Commission has mandated the initiative. Excitement stems from eCalls ability to allow easy integration of third-party services that are attractive to consumers. These include connected navigation, remote vehicle control and remote diagnostics which can be integrated in a cost-effective manner. How much of an impact eCall can make within the infotainment space, in addition to its primary function, will be debated at the Conference in April.
One of the speakers, sitting on the panel, ‘eCall: An Alternative Platform to Deliver Value-Added Services’, is Andy Rooke, Senior Project Manager, ERTICO. Mr Rooke commented: “The continued progress of the eCall legislation is now providing a clear route for the automotive industry to grasp the potential opportunities offered by the mandation of Pan-European eCall. However there is a clear need for the industry to be innovative in its approach to both satisfy the legal requirements of eCall and to offer services to their customers that will ensure long-lasting and meaningful customer retention and brand loyalty”.
At this very exciting time for the infotainment industry, Telematics Update will bring together 30+ expert speakers to discuss the crucial challenges of the IVI space, making the Content and Apps for Automotive Europe 2014 Conference the must attend event for all dedicated automotive infotainment professionals. The full agenda and speaker line-up can be found here: http://www.telematicsupdate.com/contenteu/
As well as harnessing eCall for deeper content, c-level speakers will dissect key topics including:
· Create a Standout Automotive User Interface
· De-Bunk the In-Car App Store Myths
· Break Down ‘Big Data’ to Create Next-Gen Apps
· The Future of the Auto Operating System
· And more sessions addressing business model and content/app integration challenges
Speakers Recently Announced:
· Dr. Johann Prenninger, Head of Field Data Analytics, BMW
Siegfried Schuler, Director Connected Services Technical Sales Europe, Harman
Kenneth Malmburg, New Business Development, Global Connected Consumer, General Motors
The full agenda and speaker line-up is available on the website:
