A new Working Group has been created in the eSafety Forum: the eSafety Intelligent Infrastructure Working Group (IIWG). The first meeting of the working group will be held on 18 September 2008 at the eSafety Support premises in Brussels.
The IIWG focuses on the road infrastructure side of cooperative systems with the main objective of identifying the expectations towards intelligent infrastructure and achieving a balance between the goals of the road operators and industry.
Intelligent Infrastructure includes ICT and cooperative systems at the roadside as well as the back-office systems. In this context, cooperative means cooperation and communication among systems - covering infrastructure, vehicle and more generally user systems such as nomadic devices.
The IIWG aims to identify issues which need to be solved at the infrastructure level to ensure the implementation of the most relevant cooperative services, with the main focus on the trunk road network. The IIWG also intends to identify the most mature and relevant cooperative services with their respective implementation issues. The hope is then to develop detailed recommendations concerning the deployment of intelligent infrastructure in Europe in the near future.
The IIWG is co-chaired by representatives from ASECAP (Association Européenne des Concessionnaires d’Autoroutes et d’Ouvrages à Péage) and CEDR (Conference of European Directors of Roads). Stakeholders representing Road Authorities, Motorway Operators and Road Users as well as Automotive and ICT Industry stakeholders interested in cooperative systems are invited to join the group.
