DESCRIPTION:International Conference \nIntelligent Transport Systems: a Tool or a Toy? \nResearch and innovation opportunities and challenges for autonomous driving and new transport models \n22. – 23. 11. 2016 \nŽilina\, hotel Holiday Inn \nThis conference was co-organised between \nCOST Association \nand \nUniversity of Zilina \nthe latter as European Research Area (ERA) Chair (ERAdiate project) on International Transport Systems (ITS)\, and is held under the auspices of the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union. \n  \n\n\nThe aim of this event was to bring special attention to the role of research organisations in providing evidence to the policy makers for shaping the right ecosystem in ITS\, and to the role of the industry\, and in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs)\, in delivering innovative\, sustainable and interoperable solutions. Particular attention was given to two important pillars of future mobility: Autonomous driving and Mobility as a Service (MaaS). \nThis three-day conference took place in the context of a new legal framework (Directive 2010/40/EU) that was adopted by the European Union on 07 July 2010\, to accelerate the deployment of the ITS across Europe. \nAccording to the European Commission’s White Paper on Transport\, new forms of mobility have to be proposed for overcoming reliability\, environmental safety and affordability issues towards sustainable solutions for the transport of people and goods. Until now\, advancements in research and technology have significantly contributed to this recommendation by integrating multidisciplinary approaches\, and having addressed the fragmentation of knowledge in ITS. \nHowever\, the deployment of widely used interoperable and seamless ITS solutions is still lagging behind the expectations\, both in terms of their sustainability and competitiveness\, as well as integrating their socioeconomic impact at regional\, national and pan-European level. \nThe ERAdiate project is supported by the European Commission under FP7 Grant Agreement 621386. \n\nProgrammePresentationsPhotosDocuments\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n ITS Zilina - Programme\n \n 467.44 KB\n 14 downloads\n \n \n ...\n \n \n Download\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n ITS Zilina - Presentation 1\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 11 downloads35.86 MB\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n ITS Zilina - Presentation 2\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 12 downloads45.05 MB\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n ITS Zilina - Presentation 3\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 10 downloads33.68 MB\n\n\n\nPhotos \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n ITS Zilina - Final report\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 12 downloads571.68 KB\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n COST - H2020 Info Day\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 9 downloads182.73 KB\n\n\n  \n\nOrganisers\n \n\nPartner organisations\n \n\nSupporting organisations\n \n  \n\nMedia partners URL:https://www.erachair.uniza.sk/event/intelligent-transport-systems-a-tool-or-a-toy/ LOCATION:Holiday Inn Zilina\, Športová 568/2\, Žilina\, 01010\, Slovakia (Slovak Republic) CATEGORIES:Conferences END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160316 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160317 DTSTAMP:20260502T103358 CREATED:20180629T094210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180629T094210Z UID:2848-1458086400-1458172799@www.erachair.uniza.sk SUMMARY:Roadmap to a resource-efficient transport system in Europe – Intelligent Transport Systems improving safety and mobility DESCRIPTION:Workshop connected to CEN/TC 278 “Intelligent Transport Systems” Plenary Meeting URL:https://www.erachair.uniza.sk/event/roadmap-to-a-resource-efficient-transport-system-in-europe-intelligent-transport-systems-improving-safety-and-mobility/ LOCATION:Vienna\, Vienna\, Austria CATEGORIES:Seminars,Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160113 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160114 DTSTAMP:20260502T103358 CREATED:20180629T094331Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180629T094331Z UID:2851-1452643200-1452729599@www.erachair.uniza.sk SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap Between e-Government and Intelligent Transportation Systems DESCRIPTION:Bridging the Gap Between e-Government and Intelligent Transportation Systems\n \n Download\n \n \n \n \n \n 9 downloads250.57 KB URL:https://www.erachair.uniza.sk/event/bridging-the-gap-between-e-government-and-intelligent-transportation-systems/ LOCATION:Žilina\, Univerzitná 8215\, Žilina\, Slovakia (Slovak Republic) CATEGORIES:Seminars,Training Schools/Lecture Series,Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150504 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150505 DTSTAMP:20260502T103359 CREATED:20180628T074716Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180628T074716Z UID:2752-1430697600-1430783999@www.erachair.uniza.sk SUMMARY:Innovative Trends in Transport Research DESCRIPTION:Christian Chimani\, Head of the Mobility Department of AIT – Austrian Institute of Technology\, Vienna (Austria).
