TRANSCRIPT
EC Workshop 18 March 2010
Intelligent transport systems For Urban Areas
EMTA is a forum for the exchange of information, research and experience between the public transport authorities responsible for planning, integrating and financing public transport services in the largest cities across Europe. It was created in 1998 at the initiative of the STIF.
EMTA, regularly contributes to the European Commission consultation exercises, and takes opportunities to voice its concerns to European Institutions
32 members across 17 European Countriesand a partner institution in Canada
1. ITS Platform
Platform Governance:
Objective is to ensure sustainable mobility, achieving modal
shift. The goal is a better mobility for the citizens making
sound on the spot choices any time of the day. All modes and all
aspects of mobility must be covered.
Build on existing experience in the various transport networks
and enhance open interfaces, standards for interoperability, and
collaboration between responsible authorities on a given
territory.
Enlarged to all stakeholders decision-makers, transport operators
and ICT service providers, industry sector and end users for
they need to hear each other.
2. ITS Platform
Platform Governance:
Draw an overarching ITS architecture including all modes, all
aspects of mobility and all related responsible bodies.
Foster cooperation between local and regional authorities and
between mode related authorities (sea, air, road and rail)
Cross-border interoperability to be supported by EC in developing
open-standards
Work on minimum standards at EU level for data specification.
3. Travel and traffic information
Knowledge on public transport multimodal integrated travel information
is common but integration with traffic info needs to be enhanced (data
collection format, update and maintenance of info)
More advanced integrated experience exist (GOVI project PT info
without frontiers), or Collaboration between VBB Berlin-Brandenburg and
ZTM Warsaw for an integrated travel planner.
More advanced technology currently in application through mobile
phones.
Need for open-standards and/or open-protocol on technical and content
level. INSPIRE Directive into force but not completed for PT notably
the problem of shared PT stops.
Need for an operator independent and customer oriented provider of info
4. Smart-ticketing
Again several examples of implemented smart-ticketing schemes
across Europe
Very useful tool for managing all sorts of data on operational
and financial aspects and for knowing better travel patterns
Interoperability from a network to another ”seamless” travel
isn’t ensured. Good example in the Netherlands but the path was
difficult.
Compatibility means barriers to overcome at regional, national
and in the future international level. The issue is an economic
as well as a political one
5. Smart Ticketing
Example of standardisation issues applied to E-ticketing specifications: sustainability, interoperability, and modularity are main advantages however not all stakeholders agree and barriers have to be overcome as shown below.

6. Traffic and access management
Schemes such as Congestion charging or low-emission zones, parking spaces
monitoring, public bike rental facilities etc.. Are more and more in use across
European cities. They imply a good coordination between different administrations
(road administration, public transport authorities…)
Data collection relies on good collaboration between actors.
Provision is effective if constantly updated and easily accessible. Service
provider must be customer oriented.
