PANEL I: TOWARDS SPECIFICATIONS UNDER ITS DIRECTIVE

The ITS Directive (2010/40/EU) was adopted on 7 July 2010 to accelerate the deployment of Intelli-gent Transport Systems in the European Union. Under the ITS Directive, the European Commission, after consulting notably with experts from Member States, is empowered to adopt, as delegated acts, speci-fications (functional, technical, organisational or services provisions) to address the compatibility, interoperability and continuity of ITS solutions across the European Union. Six priority actions have been selected for the adoption of these specifications, namely:

a) the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services b) the provision of EU-wide real-time traffic information services c) data and procedures for the provision, where possible, of road safety related minimum

universal traffic information free of charge to users d) the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall e) the provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and

commercial vehicles f) the provision of reservation services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and

commercial vehicles

Among those, and in line with the Commission Working Programme adopted on 15 February 2011 on the implementation of the ITS Directive, the first specifications to be adopted will address actions c) d) and e).The Commission will present the state of play of the elaboration of these specifications, summarising the work achieved and the next steps towards their adoption. A discussion with invited expert panellists representing several ITS stakeholders and with the audience will follow.

Vienna, 22 October 2012

In addition, questions of the man-machine interaction as well as the legal conditions for a deployment of such system solutions are part of her responsibilities, too. Christine is in charge of a number of actions close to the ITS Directive.Second, Christine is the Public Authorities Representative of TISA – the Traveller Information Services Association – and chair of the TISA Working Group on ITS Directive issues which has published a position paper on the “Provision of a free Minimum Universal Traffic Information Service” earlier this year.

PANEL II: LEGAL ISSUES IN ITS DEPLOYMENT

Addressing legal barriers to the deployment of ITS solutions is one of the priorities of the ITS Action Plan. The handling of data (notably personal and financial data) in ITS applications raises a number of issues, as citizens’ data protection rights are at stake. At the same time, data integrity, confidentiality and availability, must be ensured for all parties involved, especially citizens. Additionally, the use of ITS applications creates requirements for both users and service providers in terms of liability. These issues may be a major barrier to wide market penetration of some ITS services if citizens’ rights are not shown to be fully protected and if there remains legal uncertainty related to liability.

The session will look at those important legal issues affecting the deployment of ITS solutions, focus-ing on the two main themes identified in the ITS Action Plan and also covered in provisions of the ITS Directive:

• Assessing the personal data protection issues related to the handling of data in ITS applications and services and proposing potential measures to improve the situation

• Assessing the liability issues pertaining to the use of ITS applications, notably in-vehicle safety systems, and considering potential specific measures to eliminate such barriers

For both topics the final results and main recommendations of recent Commission studies will be presented. This will be followed by a discussion with invited expert panellists representing several ITS stakeholders and with the audience.

PANEL III:1ST SMART MOBILITY CHALLENGE: TOWARDS EUROPEAN MULTI-MODAL JOURNEY PLANNER

Swift travel across Europe should be seamless with single tickets or billing systems and door-to-door information readily available. The challenge is to access, integrate and use the data to deliver meaning-ful real time and personalised travel information services to the user. This is especially needed for cross border and multimodal travel. It is a must to ensure seamless door-to-door mobility and this could require specific measures to be taken, as underlined under initiative 22 of the 2011 Transport White Paper.The availability and promotion of multimodal journey planners, providing information over travelling time and routing alternatives, is a key element to ensure seamless door-to-door mobility. This is covered by the ITS Action Plan (action 1.5) and relates to priority action a) of the ITS Directive on “the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services”.Vice-President Siim Kallas, Commissioner for Transport, launched during last year’s ITS Conference in Lyon on 6 June 2011, the 1st Smart Mobility Challenge on European multimodal journey planners. The Challenge invited industry stakeholders and European citizens to submit either solutions of European (or at least cross-border) multi-modal journey planners, or innovative ideas that would allow the develop-ment of such truly European and multimodal tools. Four winners (two in each category) were selected in March 2012.The session will introduce the background and the results of the Challenge. The 4 winners will have the opportunity to present their innovative “award-winning” solutions. This will be followed by a discussion with the winners and the audience on the obstacles and opportunities laying before multimodal journey planning.
