Projects

The Arc Atlantique Corridor delivers improvements to the Trans- European Road Network stretching from Ireland to Portugal through the wider deployment of ITS systems and services. Extending the cooperation of the previous phases, Arc Atlantique III continues the process of investment in harmonised ITS Services on the CEF Corridors "Atlantic" and "North Sea - Mediterranean".

Within CROCODILE public authorities, road administrations and traffic information service providers of in total 13 European Member States are committed to set up and operate a data exchange infrastructure based on DATEX II.

ITS for Road has been applied by EU Member States with great success since decades as a necessary mean to alleviate problems caused by an increasing demand for road transport. The EU ITS Platform (EU EIP) is the place where National Ministries, Road Authorities, Road Operators and partners from the private and public sectors of almost all EU Member States and neighboring countries, cooperate in order to foster, accelerate and optimize current and future ITS deployments in Europe in a harmonized way. In order to foster cooperation and the necessary consensus between EU Member States, the EU ITS Platform will facilitate the establishment of a commonly understood state of the art and promoting the actual take-up of EU specifications, guidelines, best practices and/or methodologies.

As a follow up of the previous NEXT-ITS and NEXT-ITS 2 projects, the NEXT-ITS 3 project (2018-2020) covers the Northern part of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor, including the core road network and the key comprehensive network links.

URSA MAJOR addresses first and foremost freight transport on the TEN-T road network in a corridor linking the most important economic regions between Rotterdam and Sicily. To accomplish this, 35 Road, Inland Terminal and Port Operators from 3 EU Member States (Italy, Germany, The Netherlands) have formed a consortium. Switzerland and Austria are included in their capacity as transit countries. The UMneo corridor represents one of the major TEN-T road axes in Europe. Removing bottlenecks through better traffic management and implementation of traffic management systems reduces delays and improves reliability of journey planning. Additionally, up to-date hazard warning systems (e.g. for roadworks) and improved incident management increase freight safety.
