“Smart Roads for AD Cars”: IoT-Enabled Services for Automated Vehicles with the Autopilot project in Livorno
2018-10-19 | CNIT, Cruise Terminal Meeting Hall, Livorno, Livorno, Italy
The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining momentum in many vertical markets, including automotive and transportation. “Smart roads” travelled by Automated Driving cars are not the distant future. Technologies already exist, but the added advantage and successful business cases depend on how they are integrated in user services.
The AUTOPILOT project is testing various use cases, in real conditions, at six Pilot Sites – five in the EU and one in South Korea – to prove that IoT technologies can advance automated driving. Livorno hosts the Italian Pilot Site and we would like to demonstrate our results so far and discuss them with you.
Join us on October 19 in Livorno! Click here to register.
We will give you hands-on demonstrations of AUTOPILOT’s highway and urban driving functionalities and you will be invited to tell us your impressions. The “Smart Road” national initiative by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport in Livorno is the first of its kind in Italy. You will receive an inside look into it, and into the links with the harbour operation ecosystem.
During a special workshop you will have a chance to participate in discussions about AUTOPILOT’s business cases and the opportunities and challenges in going to market. You will be able to learn more about new potential business cases and the Internet of Things as you share your views with us.
Regardless of whether you are already convinced of the potential of IoT or need further in-depth study, Livorno is the place to be this autumn to discuss the future of smart roads for automated driving cars! We particularly value participation from local stakeholders, including city authorities, public transport providers and SMEs.

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.
The 26 November event will serve as a platform for discussion and expertise sharing, bringing together the key players that need to work together to deliver a fully-integrated approach to road safety for Europe.
