The Executive Round Tables High-level perspectives and strategies regarding the present and future use of ICT in cars Moderator: Professor Eric Sampson Newcastle University and ITS(UK) United Kingdom
Pressures on the road network 1 • More throughput • Improved safety • Reduced environmental impact • vehicle emissions • noise levels • land take • reduced energy demand • Better integration with public transport • More consistent freight trips • More comfortable private driving
Pressures on vehicle manufacturers • Background economic climate • Intense international competition • Intense intra-Europe competition • Search for commercial ‘edge’: • Cost reduction • enhanced safety • improved economy • enhanced comfort / convenience • Increasing Regulatory overheads
potential big wins in road safety & network management safer vehicles, more driver support & assistance = fewer accidents better prediction & management of traffic flow = less congestion better management of traffic flow = reduced emissions and energy consumption wide range of new products and services for automotive manufacturers and ITS industry “Cooperative Vehicle—Highway Systems” or “Vehicle—Infrastructure Linking” or “Fully Networked Vehicles” — — connecting a smarter road and smarter vehicles using wireless
