Jubilee 10th Polish ITS Congress
2017-05-16 - 2017-05-17 | Warsaw, Poland
For 10 years, the ITS POLSKA Association, along with the dynamically developing industry, have been forming the ITS market in Poland, i.e. almost from its very beginning. The year 2017 will find a special place in the industry’s calendar because of two jubilees: the tenth anniversary of ITS POLSKA and the tenth edition of the POLISH ITS CONGRESS for Intelligent Transport Systems, which will take place on 16-17 May 2017 at Sofitel Victoria in Warsaw.
This double jubilee takes place during a particularly significant moment of ITS’ development in Poland. First, we are entering a new era of EU programming in Horizon 2020, which will fund both new projects, as well as expansions of existing systems. Second, we are entering the period of better understanding of the necessity to build internal, domestic technology and competence solutions for intelligent transport. The EU 2020 perspective gives us, therefore, a great opportunity to increase Poland’s economic potential, in particular – for ITS to become our national specialty.
Programme proposal of the jubilee POLISH ITS CONGRESS covers a wide variety of ITS applications. Topics will include both popular issues concerning investment projects in Poland, such as traffic management systems and toll systems for domestic roads, as well as still interesting issues, such as technologies used in public transport. We will continue discussions on railways, as well as new ITS market issues, such as managing transport demand in cities.
Speeches will concern the following topics: Road traffic management systems (implementation assessment, traffic detection, information on traffic conditions, priorities for public transport, guidance to free, publicly available parking spaces, including pavement spaces), integration of municipal and domestic systems, balancing mobility, public transport (dispatch management of public transport, information systems for passengers, sharing systems [car sharing, ridesharing], ITS and competitiveness of public transport), collecting fees for using public roads and transport (collecting fees for using motorways, Polish expressways, bridges and tunnels, collecting fees for entering city centres, joint railway & municipal public transport ticket, smart ticketing – modern ticket systems, Mobility as a Service [MaaS]), autonomous vehicles and V2X systems, railway telematics, law and finances (public procurement law in ITS, new sources of funding the implementation of innovative ITS solutions, Public-Private Partnership, ITS standards).
Over 300 people participated in the last, 9th edition of the POLISH ITS CONGRESS: representatives of companies related to Intelligent Transport Systems, government and self-government authorities, universities of technology, and industry press from Poland. Self-government representatives constituted over 40% of congress participants.
POLISH ITS CONGRESS is a permanent event in the transport industry calendar in Poland and in Europe. Each year, many domestic and international speakers and experts participate in this event. We believe that the coming jubilee edition will pique the interest and gather an even larger number of business, science and self-government representatives, which will enhance the entire transport industry in Poland.

Webinar Invitation
“Intelligent Street Light Procurement: the story from Copenhagen”
14:30 – 15:30 CET
Thursday 8 June 2017
Objectives

To share good practice of using innovation procurement procedure (e.g. Competitive Dialogue) to procure Intelligent street lights in Copenhagen;
To discuss the benefits and lessons learnt of using innovation procurement for delivering sustainable projects.

Who should attend

Public procurers such as national, regional and city administrators, road operators;
Transport engineers and system suppliers;
Universities and researchers

Description
City of Copenhagen has the ambition to be the first carbon-neutral capital city in the world. To reach this ambitious goal, the city council has adopted a comprehensive and targeted carbon reduction plan. The intelligent street lighting project is a part of the carbon reduction plan to make street lights in Copenhagen more energy efficient, aiming at reducing the energy consumption by 50%. The project can be considered as a complex infrastructure investment. This is due to the fact that the city had a plan for renewing a part of the lighting system across city to help reaching the goals for optimising the energy consumption and infrastructure renovation. Moreover, the LED world is a fast developing technology and how to ensure what you buy is not quickly out of market.
The tender process of the project used innovation procurement procedures in order to ensure appropriate products and system being purchased and a long term success of the project. A 250 million Danish Krone (about 33 million euro) contract was awarded for installing the new street lighting system in the city and 12 year maintenance. Louise Rathleff, the program manager and Stine Ellermann, the contract manager, will give detailed description of the procurement of the intelligent street lighting and share their knowledge and lessons learnt from the procurement.

Conference: High Quality Positioning: A Key to Success for Autonomous Driving
2017-10-04 | BluePoint Brussels, Blvd Auguste Reyers 80, Brussels, 1030, Belgium
Date: 4th of October 2017
Location: BluePoint Brussels, 80 Bd. A. Reyers https://goo.gl/maps/dX7RERxy6TC2
Joint organisation with ERTICO
Organisers: F. Peyret, P.-Y. Gilliéron: chair of SaPPART; F. Fischer: ERTICO

Conference abstract
The deployment of autonomous vehicles is becoming a reality on the European road network and will significantly affect the future liability of different actors in the road and transport sectors. Liability is strongly linked with the trust that you can have in a system, like a vehicle with advanced driver assistance or automatic driving capabilities. In these applications vehicle positioning is one of the most critical components because most of the decisions are based on the location of the vehicle itself and of other vehicles and objects in its vicinity.
This conference is the final event of the EU COST Action” Satellite Positioning Performance Assessment for Road Transport” (SaPPART). At this conference, the main outcomes of the Action will be presented within the context of very demanding applications such as autonomous driving.

HYPERMOTION exhibition and conference
2017-11-20 - 2017-11-22
The AEOLIX Project will be presented at the first Hypermotion exhibition and conference event from 20 to 22 November in Messe Frankfurt (Frankfurt Convention Centre), Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany: ‘A New platform for digital transformation of transport, mobility and logistics’.
The new trade fair Hypermotion takes stock of the blurring of boundaries between logistics, mobility, infrastructure, and transport making way for new networked, integrated and inter-modal systems, and aims to showcase these changes and discuss their impact on the economy and on society.
The event will cover seven thematic areas – Connectivity (Intelligent Transport Systems as we know it to date), Monitoring & Transparency, Data Analytics & Security, Hypermodality, Sustainability, Synchronized Logistics and Smart Regions – all of which are interlinked and encompass the core elements of the transport systems of both today and tomorrow:

Infrastructure (different types of transport, including planning, financing)
Equipment (vehicles, including development and financing)
Services & applications (including research and start-ups)

Hypermotion will be the first independent platform with digital transformation in the mobility and transport sector as the overarching theme.

C-MobILE stakeholders workshop: needs and requirements for large scale C-ITS deployment
2017-11-23
When: 23 November, 2017, from 9:30 to 17:30 CET
Where: Bilbao, Spain
C-MobILE (Accelerating C-ITS Mobility Innovation and depLoyment in Europe) is a European project deploying cooperative intelligent transport systems and services (C-ITS) designed to deal with mobility challenges in several cities across Europe. The project aims to help local authorities deploy the C-ITS services they need and to engage with stakeholders and road users by assessing benefits against costs.
C-MobILE’s vision is of a European road network which is safer, more efficient, more sustainable and economically viable while minimising environmental impacts and protecting vulnerable road users.
To realise this vision, the first step is to develop a better understanding of the vision and priorities of public authorities as well as the needs and requirements of end-users and key stakeholders. The C-MobILE consortium has already completed a preliminary analysis of existing deployments in several European cities and gathered feedback from local actors and targeted stakeholder groups via an online C-ITS survey.
This workshop will bring public authorities, end-users and key stakeholders together to define technical and non-technical requirements for C-ITS services and how best to ‘bundle’ the various applications so that they provide better value for money. By bringing key transport and mobility stakeholders around the same table, the C-MobILE consortium intends to establish strong partnerships and ultimately achieve sustainable large scale deployments of C-ITS services. After this workshop, stakeholders will be able to remain in contact via the Stakeholders Forum and get involved in other C-MobILE project activities, which are open to all transport and mobility stakeholders.
The draft agenda is available here.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge (apart from your own travel expenses), but registration is necessary. To register to the workshop, please click here.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bilbao and thank you for your time and your valuable collaboration,
The C-MobILE Consortium

Digital Mobility Conference
2017-11-27 10:00 - 18:00
The AEOLIX project will be presented at ‘Intelligent Mobility’ at BITKOM (Germany’s digital association):
Tomorrow’s mobility will be digital and data-driven. That makes it intelligent. At the same time, digital mobility affects society at large: How will it change our everyday lives? How can people and products be carried from A to B, comfortably and efficiently?
Intelligent mobility and logistics systems that take into account multiple modes of transport can provide an answer: in smart and sustainable ways. The specific means of transport is becoming more and more of a secondary issue. Instead, the focus lies on smart services and sustainable use concepts.
