The day will start with a session introducing the guidelines for the deployment of key ITS applications in urban areas expert group on which has developed specific guidance for the deployment of ITS in urban areas, and in particular for the provision and organisation of multimodal information, traffic management and smart ticketing. The session will provide an opportunity for the ITS industry and city representatives to discuss and provide feedback on the guidelines.
