The three-year iMobility Support, launched by 374 Ertico-ITS Europe will support the deployment of intelligent mobility in Europe by assisting with the work of the iMobility Forum. The project builds on eight years’ experience in similar initiatives and will assist with important activities such as stakeholder networking, product deployment and communications.

The iMobility Forum is a broad consortium of stakeholders who have an interest in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and services and works to develop deploy resource-efficient, clean and safe transport systems.

The project forms part of the EC's Digital Agenda for Europe by focusing on ICT for transport while contributing to other policies such as the ITS Action Plan and the European Road Safety Action Programme. In addition to this, it actively supports international ITS-related agreements such as the EU-US Declaration of Intent and the EU-Japan Memorandum of Cooperation.

The project will be coordinated by Ertico-ITS Europe and  its partners 4793 AustriaTech - Gesellschaft des Bundes fur Technologiepolitische Massnahmen, 7113 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Association des Constructeurs Européen d'Automobiles (6175 ACEA), Teknologian Tutkimuskeskus (814 VTT), 108 Q-Free and 7114 DEKRA Automobil.
