  7. The Working Groups (2)Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information (RTTI) • Goal: 80 % of all journeys served with adequate, standardised RTTI services by 2010 • Starting point: The Commission Recommendation on RTTI, 2001 • Short term solution: RDS/TMC, mature but not widely used technology • WG report with a technical and economical model and recommendations for the Member States being finalised

  8. The Working Groups (3)Human Machine Interaction (HMI) • Goal: To identify the HMI related concerns in the introduction of in-vehicle eSafety systems • Starting point: European Statement of Principles ESoP (2001) • A specific concern: Nomadic systems • The Working Group has finalised a detailed document on HMI, available on the web • Targeting an updated version of the ESoP for the 2nd half of 2005

  9. The Working Groups (4) Implementation Road Maps • Goal: To develop technical/ economical Road Maps for the introduction of eSafety Systems • WG Report will be discussed in the next Forum Plenary (2 June 2005) Research and Technological Development (RTD) • Goal: To map the ongoing RTD activities and identify gaps • Early recommendations already taken into account (FP6) • Re-invoked to give advice on FP7

  10. The Working Groups (5) Accident Causation Analysis • Goal: To develop a methodology for more efficient use of existing accident causation databases • The first phase is completed, and the WG report is available on the web • The group could be re-activated Heavy Duty Vehicles • Goal: To analyse what are the most efficient eSafety systems for Heavy Duty Vehicles • 50 different technologies analysed and recommendations already given to EC • Final report published in early 2005

  11. The Working Groups (6) User Outreach • Goal: To analyze ways to increase user awareness/user demand • The WG has analysed different communication methods • WG Report will be discussed at the next Forum Plenary (2 June) International Co-operation • Goal: Information exchange, in view of increased harmonisation • Main partners USA and Japan • The group has developed a global list of priorities, meets twice per year

  12. The Working Groups (7) Digital Maps • A new WG - Established in 2005 • Goal: To create a partnership to produce, maintain, certify and distribute digital maps with road safety attributes. • Will produce a report in end of 2005 Communications • A new WG, being established • Goal: To promote standardisation and availability of spectrum for V2V and V2I communications for co-operative systems in Europe

  13. Other ActionsThe 24 GHz Short-Range Radar • Ultra-wide band automotive radar (SRR) is considered to be a key technology for eSafety • 24 GHz band required before moving to the 79 GHz range • 79 GHz band already allocated for automotive use • Commission Decision of 17 January 2005 allows the time-limited use of the 24 GHz for SRR • As required by the Decision, a follow-up of the implementation started

  14. Conclusions of the HL Meeting of 27 September 2004 (1) • The Member States regard eSafety initiative as a crucially important element of the general framework for improving road and vehicle safety in Europe • In many Member States, eSafety is already a national priority • The Member States supported the Commission plans to continue the eSafety initiative, and especially • the plans to organise further HL meetings • continue the support to the Working Groups • to come up with the 2nd Commission Communication on eSafety, reporting progress and proposing further actions • Invited the Commission to organise further expert meetings

  15. Conclusions of the HL Meeting of 27 September 2004 (2) Concerning eCall, the Member States: • Noted the huge potential socio-economic benefit of eCall • Supported the proposed general architecture based on E-112 and the Minimum Set of Data (MSD) • Confirmed their willingness to sign the MoU, but pointed out that the internal processes took time • Undertook to assure, by the end of 2006, that adequate infrastructure will exist in the PSAPs for the processing of eCalls Concerning RTTI and HMI, the Member States: • Supported the goal and recommendations of the RTTI WG • Supported the work done so far in the HMI WG, and welcomed the Commission’s proposal to produce a new version of the ESoP

  16. Conclusions of the HLMeeting of 3 February 2005 (1) The participants of the HL Meeting on eSafety: • Committedto increase their efforts in eSafety • Noted the positive results of the HL Meeting with the Member States on September 2004, but observed that the progress has been slow in some cases • Invited the Commission to accelerate its efforts for getting the Member States fully inline with industry’s actions • Emphasized the role of standardisation, harmonisation, international co-operation and open in-vehicle platforms • Stressedthe importance of solving the issue of positive business case and invited the Commission to investigate the possible fiscal incentives

  17. Conclusions of the HLMeeting of 3 February 2005 (2) • Welcomedthe Commission’s proposal for the next steps in the eSafety initiative that include • Continuing support to the eSafety Forum, its Working Groups and the Steering Group, • Organising Expert Meetings with the Member States on eCall, RTTI, HMI and socio-economic benefits, • Adopting the 2nd eSafety Communication in 2005, • Producing an updated version of the European Statement of Principles (ESoP), • Following the situation in the introduction of 24 GHz Short-Range Radars on the markets; • Establishing a support for the eSafety Forum and providing further funding for the RTD in eSafety technologies and systems through the IST Programme Call 4.

  18. Conclusions of the HMI and eCall Expert Meetings HMI – Paris 28 February, 2005 • The results and recommendations of the HMI WG were presented and accepted with few comments • The work to update the ESoP will start soon and the first draft will be produced by end of July • Involvement of the Member States to be increased (validation of the WG results and the new ESoP) eCall – Helsinki 15 April, 2005 • The meeting gave its full support to the eCall architecture and implementation plan as presented by the eCall Driving Group and the EC • The meeting confirmed that a number of Member States are already ready to implement eCall • A large number of technical, organisational and business issues were discussed, paving the way to eCall roll-out

  23. eSafety Calendar 2005

  24. Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information in Europe (1) • Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information contributes greatly to road safety and efficiency • The most commonly used service is RDS/TMC with over 3 million users and growing currently by about 1 million p.a • Large number of in-vehicle terminals are on the market and offered by the vehicle makers • In some countries commercial services have started • The private companies can operate their own data collection system

  25. Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information in Europe (2) The expansion of RTTI services into further European countries is hindered by a number of factors, such as • limited availability of traffic information content • difficulties in defining the roles of the public and private sectors, • the costs of broadcasting, • limited bandwidth in FM radio, and lack of frequencies • economic difficulties with business models • missing initiatives for starting-up services

  26. Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information in Europe (3) • In many European countries the interurban street arteries have been classified, but only few urban or metropolitan areas • Strong actions are needed to extend the existing RTTI- services in the near future.

  27. Real-Time Traffic and Travel Information in Europe (4) The aim of the RTTI Working Group is to identify and remove the obstacles for European-wide implementation of RTTI services • Goal: 80 % of all journeys served with adequate, standardised services by 2010 • Starting point: The Commission Recommendation on TTI, 2001 • The group is working on a technical and economical model for implementing the services • Short term: RDS/TMC • Longer term: mode advanced services with more advanced technologies for broadcasting and communications • Recommendations for the Member State’s authorities prepared
