C-ITS deployments to be harmonised across Europe

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 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.

Project organisers say the work is key to making European roads safer for citizens, traffic more efficient and reducing harmful emissions from transport.

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

Facility (CEF) but is an open platform.
