Abstract

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) covers a wide range of products and solutions that deploy Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) aiming at improving traffic safety, transport efficiency, environmental efficiency, energy efficiency and driver comfort. The development and large-scale deployment of C-ITS (Cooperative ITS) will not only provide services for road users, but also substantially contribute to automated road transport. The project C-MobILE (Accelerating C-ITS Mobility Innovation and depLoyment in Europe) aims to stimulate large-scale, real-life and interoperable C-ITS deployments across Europe. It will establish research pilot sites for deployment of sustainable services that are supported by local authorities, and ensure interoperability and seamless availability of high-quality services for end users, that will be successful from a business perspective. The paper will present some preliminary results of C-MobILE, including recently developed business model for C-ITS deployment and an initial generic architecture, followed by some discussions.
