Implementation of Directive 2010/40/EU on the framework for the deployment of intelligent transport systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport

Summary:

Report presented on 21 October 2014 by the European Commission on progress made towards the implementation of Directive 2010/40/EU (the ITS Directive).

Further information:

Directive 2010/40/EU (the ITS Directive) aims at accelerating the coordinated deployment and use across Europe of intelligent transport systems in road transport (and interfaces with other modes). It identifies a list of six priority actions encompassing:
a) the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services;
b) the provision of EU-wide real-time traffic information services;
c) data and procedure for the provision, where possible of road safety related minimum universal traffic information free of charge for 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; and
f) the provision of reservation services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles.

It also lists priority areas in which work is to be further pursued: optimal use of road, traffic and travel data (priority area I); continuity of traffic and freight management ITS services (priority area II), ITS road safety and security applications (priority area III), linking the vehicle with the transport infrastructure (priority area IV). These priority areas correspond to the first four priority areas of the ITS Action Plan.

According to Article 17(4) of the ITS Directive, the Commission must submit a report every three years on the progress made in the implementation of the Directive. This report is accompanied by Staff Working Documents on the progress report and review of the ITS Action Plan and on the analysis of the Member States reports of 2011 and 2012.
