TN-ITS is concerned with information exchange on changes in static road attributes. Road safety and efficiency require highly updated digital maps for ITS, but map providers struggle to keep these elements current. The solution is to retrieve the information on changes from the road authorities. As regulators of these changes, e.g., speed limits, they are the most immediate and reliable source for such information.
Bringing fresher digital map data to intelligent transport services, including authoritative and regulatory data and information.
Facilitate and foster the exchange of ITS-related spatial road data between road authorities as trusted data providers, and data users as map providers and other parties.
- To supply fresh, quality, accurate, and trusted digital maps to leading map and service providers. These maps represent the base for any of the advanced traffic applications that you experience e.g. in your car, or on your phone.
- Provide information exchange on modifications in static road attributes. The focus is on general on-road features based on regulations but may extend to other road and transport-related aspects.
- Serve as a joined innovation platform at the European level involving public administration to ensure road safety through accurate information shared by digital maps.
