ERTICO’s mission will be implemented using a strategy that focuses on four distinct yet interconnected target strategic areas of ITS to:
Public and private transport solutions: Implementing real-time passenger information systems, smart ticketing, demand-responsive transport solutions and mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solutions.
Traffic management: Utilising AI-driven traffic flow management, adaptive signalling, and congestion prediction models to improve travel times.
Safety and accessibility: Deploying advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), pedestrian safety measures and public transport security systems linked to MaaS to ensure inclusive transport options.
Sustainability: Encouraging the use of electric and shared mobility solutions to reduce carbon footprints.
Freight transport and fleet management: Utilising GPS tracking, telematics, and predictive analytics for optimal route planning and reduced delivery times.
Freight security: Implementing cargo monitoring, automated weighing, and anti-theft technologies to ensure goods reach their destinations safely.
Intermodal freight solutions: Coordinating different modes of transport (road, rail, air, and sea) to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Sustainable freight practices: Promoting eco-friendly logistics solutions such as low-emission zones and electric freight vehicles.
Smart infrastructure: Implementing IoT-enabled traffic signals, connected vehicles, and intelligent road systems to optimise urban mobility.
Public transport integration: Enhancing multimodal transport options to ensure seamless travel between different transport modes.
Congestion and travel demand management: Using congestion pricing, dynamic tolling, and demand-responsive transit to regulate urban traffic flows.
Environmental impact reduction: Deploying green transport initiatives such as electric bus fleets, bike-sharing programs, and pedestrian-friendly city planning.
International smart corridors: Efficient movement of people and goods across TEN-T corridors and beyond.
Inter-urban mobility: Developing high-speed connectivity solutions such as smart highways and digital infrastructure for long-distance travel.
Pan-European data sharing and coordination: Facilitating cooperation between different transport authorities to standardise traffic management systems and improve interoperability.
Seamless border crossings: Implementing automated customs clearance, electronic toll collection, and real-time tracking of cross-border people movements and shipments.
The domain of Intelligent Transport Systems has several intersections, and the strategic areas are influenced by the overarching goals we want to achieve, and the tools we will use in the mission.
These transversals across the areas are represented by the outcomes (goals), and the enablers (tools).
