Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are vital to increase efficiency, safety, mobility, and tackle Europe’s growing emissions and congestion problems. ITS can make transport safer, more efficient, and more sustainable by applying information and communication technologies to all transportation modes. Moreover, the integration of existing technologies can create new services, contributing to increase companies’ competitiveness.

To achieve its full potential, ITS requires further research. With the globalization of trade and transportation and the consequent multi-modal solutions used, additional challenges are faced by organizations and countries, requiring ITS technologies to expand. The continuity of services is crucial as so it is the time required to fulfil the requests, the cost involved and the quality of services provided.

Adopting Intelligent Transport Systems involves dealing with some challenges, some of which are technological: deployment costs, funding restrictions that prevent investment facilitation, investments, privacy and liability concerns, uncertain demand, and lack of legislation, among others. Overcoming them can lead to the ability of more reliable and improved services.

Policy makers often do not master technological issues and being able to communicate the benefits of ITS in a clear and effective way is a challenge for faster deployment of ITS. Policy makers need a clear description of the benefits of new technologies including cost-benefit analyses that would enable them to compare traditional solutions with the new ones.

Academic development on ITS would benefit from the interaction in industry. Overcoming the gap between the more long-term perspective of outcomes from academia and the short-term need of results from the industry is an additional challenge that needs to be addressed.

The outcomes of ITS research can benefit from the interaction with other research areas, such as logistics and operations management, architecture and urbanism, among others. Nonetheless, eventually due to lack of opportunity to cooperate, this interaction is not found often and poses as another of the challenges ITS faces.

This event is organized by EAI.

EAI – European Alliance for Innovation is a non-profit organization and a professional community established in cooperation with the European Commission to empower the global research and innovation, and to promote cooperation between European and International ICT communities.

EAI’s vision is to foster excellence in research and innovation on the principles of transparency, objectivity, equality, and openness. Our guiding principle is community cooperation to create better research, provide fair recognition of excellence and transform best ideas into commercial value proposition.

EAI‘s mission is to create an environment that rewards excellence transparently, and builds recognition objectively regardless of age, economic status or country of origin, where no membership fees or closed door committees stand in the way of your research career.

Through these shared values, EAI leads the way toward advancing the world of research and innovation, empowering individuals and institutions for the good of society to fully benefit from the digital revolution.
