ANNEX I
PRIORITY AREAS AND ACTIONS
(as referred to in Articles 2 and 3)
Priority area I: Optimal use of road, traffic and travel data
The specifications and standards for an optimal use of road, traffic and travel data shall include the following:
1. Specifications for priority action (a): The definition of the necessary requirements to make EU-wide multimodal travel information services accurate and available across borders to ITS users.
2. Specifications for priority action (b): The definition of the necessary requirements to make EU-wide real-time traffic information services accurate and available across borders to ITS users.
3. Specifications for priority actions (a) and (b): The definition of the necessary requirements for the collection by relevant public authorities and/or, where relevant, by the private sector of road and traffic data and for their provisioning to ITS service providers, and the definition of the necessary requirements to make road, traffic and transport services data used for digital maps accurate and available.
4. Specifications for priority action (c): The definition of minimum requirements, for road safety related 'universal traffic information' provided, where possible, free of charge to all users, as well as their minimum content.
Priority area II: Continuity of traffic and freight management ITS services
The specifications and standards for the continuity and interoperability of traffic and freight management services, in particular on the TEN-T network, shall include the definition of an EU ITS Framework Architecture, requirements for continuity of ITS services for passenger and freight transport management, eFreight measures, and interfaces between urban ITS architecture and the European ITS architecture.
Priority area III: ITS road safety and security applications
The specifications and standards for ITS road safety and security applications shall include the harmonised provision of an interoperable EU-wide eCall (priority action (d)), ITS-based information and reservation services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles (priority actions (e) and (f)), and measures on Human-Machine-Interface safety, vulnerable road user safety, and advanced driver support systems.
Priority area IV: Linking the vehicle with the transport infrastructure
The specifications and standards for linking vehicles with the transport infrastructure shall include measures to integrate different ITS applications on an open in-vehicle platform and to further progress cooperative (vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-infrastructure, infrastructure-infrastructure) systems.
ANNEX II
PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIFICATIONS AND DEPLOYMENT OF ITS
(as referred to in Articles 5, 6 and 8)
The adoption of specifications, the issuing of mandates for standards and the selection and deployment of ITS applications and services shall be based upon an evaluation of needs involving all relevant stakeholders, and shall comply with the following principles. These measures shall:
(a) Be effective - make a tangible contribution towards solving the key challenges affecting road transportation in Europe;
(b) Be cost-efficient - optimise the ratio of costs in relation to output with regard to meeting objectives;
(c) Be proportionate - provide, where appropriate, for different levels of achievable service quality and deployment;
(d) Support continuity of services - ensure seamless services across the Union;
(e) Deliver interoperability - ensure that systems and the underlying business processes have the capacity to exchange data and share information;
(f) Support backward compatibility;
(g) Respect existing national infrastructure and network characteristics;
(h) Promote equality of access;
(i) Support maturity;
(j) Deliver quality of timing and positioning;
(k) Facilitate inter-modality;
(l) Respect coherence with existing Union rules, policies and activities.
