 In its continuous efforts to shape industrial, standardisation initiatives and EU policy initiatives in the field of Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS), the iMobility Forum Plenary Meeting gathered in Brussels on 29 April 2014. 90 ITS stakeholders discussed the status of the recommendations made by the iMobility Forum working groups in the field of safe, smart and clean road mobility. These recommendations shape future R&I to support the deployment of ITS in Europe, and feed the international cooperation between the EU, the US and Japan in which the Forum operates as the European interlocutor.


EU representatives Mr Nino Zambara, DG CONNECT, and Mrs Claire Depré, DG MOVE, respectively delivered the opening and closing speech. During the morning session, the iMobility Forum working group chairs presented the latest achievements of each of the Forum’s Working Groups that focused on specific topics in the ITS field: ITS Priority systems of the Implementation Road Maps WG, ITS applications and priorities for Vulnerable road users (VRU WG), Roadmap and priorities for Automated road transport (Automation WG), Guidelines for Safe Apps design (Safe Apps WG) including update of the ESoP on Human Machine Interaction (HMI WG), recommendations for probe data sharing between private and public sectors (Probe Data WG) and finally addressed horizontal aspects like identifying R&I priorities coming from the iMobility Forum.

The second part of the day introduced the HeERO I and II and status of eCall. Presentations also included the status of ITS standardisation, the upcoming ITS European and World Congresses in Helsinki and Detroit; as well as the P4ITS, VRA and iMobility Challenge Support action projects.

In lively discussions the audience shared their views with the Plenary Meeting presenters and contributed to the success of the meeting.
