The C-Roads platform has kicked off in Europe, bringing together authorities and road operators from 11 Member States (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, UK), with the aim of harmonising deployment of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) across Europe.

The C-Roads project plans to develop harmonised specifications, taking the EU C-ITS platform recommendations into account, linking all C-ITS deployments and planning intensive cross-testing.

The C-Roads platform is co-funded through the 2015 call of the Connecting Europe

Facility (CEF) but is an open platform.
