Mobility and Traffic Efficiency

The mobility and traffic efficiency pillar addresses issues related to network management, network efficiency and innovative services.

Within this pillar, working group meetings have mainly drawn upon Polis’ experience and knowledge in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) which has been at the heart of Polis activities since the creation of the network. It has focused in the recent past on issues such as network management (monitoring, information, management, integration and evaluation), ITS to support policy, ITS awareness raising, defining ITS research needs.

Topics being addressed in this pillar are:

• network and traffic management (ITS)
• traffic and travel information (ITS)
