(...) Ensuring that national "intelligent transport systems" (ITS) can work together across the EU will ease traffic congestion and improve road safety, said the Transport Committee on Tuesday. The committee approved legislation that would require new ITS systems, to be deployed by 2013, to be compatible with existing national ones. The plenary vote is scheduled for July.
Transport Committee MEPs approved a deal struck with Council in May on implementing arrangements and a timetable for introducing ITS traffic monitoring and safety assistance systems that are compatible with existing national systems and interoperable, so that they will work in an EU country, not just one. They also amended the draft legislation to take account of the needs of vulnerable road users and address data privacy concerns.
Intelligent Transport Systems use information and communication technologies provide EU-wide real-time traffic information, resulting in less congestion, less pollution and fewer accidents.(...)
