2. Outline • Introduction to transport telematics • Dutch examples • CIVITAS II outcomes • CIVITAS Plus measures

3. Introduction to transport telematics • Telematics systems can make transport systems smart (capable of dealing with new situations). • Telematics systems allow better collection, coordination and use of traffic data to manage traffic and to provide information. • Data can be collected by (f.i. ): Automated systems, CCTV. • And transferred by: GPS (Galileo), EGNOS, GSM, WLAN. • Different applications can evaluate, visualise and warehouse this information to help solve bottlenecks and unsafe situations.

4. Examples: • Dynamic traffic management (variable speed limits/routes, parking guidance) • Electronic tolling • Real time navigation and travel information • Freight tracking • Multimodal trip planner • EC wants to

9. CIVITAS II Telematics measures • Traffic monitoring and control (16 measures) • The provision of a database by developing a common database and setting up guidelines for data collection (Preston, La Rochelle, Venice) • The work on a satellite based traffic management system (Malmö, Toulouse, Ploiesti, Venice) • The definition of an area-restricted or event-oriented traffic management system (Stuttgart, Venice) • Management of traffic flows through adaptive traffic signal control to reduce traffic emissions (Malmö) • Monitoring traffic for road safety and accident prevention (Krakow) • Prioritisation of public transport (9 measures) • Provision of infrastructure • Improving passenger convenience • Providing information

10. Main outcomes CIVITAS II theme Telematics • Large effects on transport impacts • Effects on public transport travel time reductions was very positive (between 3 and 25%) • Effects on public transport time keeping was generally positive • Environmental effects positive: Fuel savings • Majority of public accepts PT prioritization • Costs of telematics measures varied considerably

11. Transport telematics in CIVITAS Plus • 49 measuresare being implemented at the moment in the 25 CIVITAS Plus cities. • Some examples will be shown by the next speakers after this presentation. • Results expected end 2012/beginning 2013: • Measure evaluation result sheets • Cluster report about telematics • Policy recommendations about telematics • Thematic group about telematics
