1. EC Workshop 18 March 2010 Intelligent transport systems For Urban Areas

2. 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

3. 32 members across 17 European Countries and a partner institution in Canada

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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. Cros
