Traffic Management in a changing world
2018-11-14 - 2018-11-15 | LEF Future Center, Utrecht, Netherlands
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/

Towards zero: Safe vehicles, safe drivers, safe roads
2018-11-26 14:00 - 18:00 | Rue Wiertz 77, 1000 Brussels.
This event, organised by our Partner ACEA, will look at the need for combining cutting-edge vehicle safety technologies with safer driver behaviour and better road infrastructure in order to move towards the vision of zero traffic fatalities in the future.
Given that the European Commission’s proposal for the revision of the General Safety Regulation is under discussion right now by the European Parliament and the European Council, this conference will be extremely timely.
‘Towards zero: Safe vehicles, safe drivers, safe roads’ acts as a follow-up to the road safety pledge that was signed by a coalition of transport stakeholders, including ACEA, earlier this year. It forms part of the auto industry’s commitment to work with all stakeholders to continue improving road safety, both today and in the future, when automation will play a stronger role.

Multimodal sustainable transport - which role for the internalisation of external costs?
2018-12-17 | Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels-Etterbeek
European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc and the Directorate-General for Transport and Mobility (DG MOVE) are inviting transport stakeholders to discuss first insights from a study on sustainable transport infrastructure charging and the internalisation of transport externalities.
The conference will take place at the EU conference centre Albert Borschette, Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels-Etterbeek on 17 December 2018.
The event is organised as a part of the 2018 Year of Multimodality which Commissioner Bulc has called for to promote the functioning of the transport sector as a fully integrated system, making better use of existing capacities in all transport modes, and improving efficiency of the logistics chains.
During the conference key sector experts will share their views on setting the right price for transport and there will be opportunities for you to discuss and understand the external costs across transport modes; the extent to which the “user pays” and “polluter pays” are implemented in the EU for the different modes; how the ‘playing-field’ can be balanced and how to better manage the impact of externalities.
