Mission & Vision
ERTICO represents the interests and expertise of around 100 Partners involved in providing Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS). It facilitates the safe, secure, clean, efficient and comfortable mobility of people and goods in Europe through the widespread deployment of ITS.
Specifically, ERTICO:
- provides a platform for its Partners to define ITS development & deployment needs
- acquires and manages publicly funded ITS development & deployment projects on behalf of its Partners
- formulates and communicates the necessary European framework conditions for the deployment of ITS
- enhances the awareness of ITS benefits amongst decision makers and opinion leaders
Applied effectively, ITS can save lives, time and money as well as reduce the impact of mobility on the environment.
ERTICO Vision
ERTICO’s vision is of a European transport system that is safer, more efficient, more sustainable and more secure than today. ITS technology, combined with the appropriate investment in infrastructure, will have reduced congestion and accidents while making transport networks more secure and reducing their impact on the environment.
European ITS know-how will be fully exploited to maximise the potential of the transport network. European standards will become a key element of the preferred solutions in emerging economies.
Public transport users will have access to up-to-the-minute information, as well as the benefit of smart and seamless ticketing. Car drivers will use in-vehicle systems which communicate with the infrastructure and other vehicles, keeping them informed about the safest and most efficient way to reach their destination. Freight operators will have real-time information about the entire logistics chain, enabling them to choose the most secure and efficient route for their consignments.
Our vision is one in which technology transforms mobility.
Our vision is one in which people and goods are connected with information in order to keep Europe moving.
