Telematics unites modern information and telecommunications technologies to realise the huge potential of the Information Society.
Transport Telematics Applications - also known as Intelligent Transport Systems or ITS play particularly vital roles in ensuring mobility for all and enabling business to meet orders in increasingly competitive markets.
Transport Telematics Applications are contributing to safer, cleaner and more efficient transport by:
helping travellers, freight distributors and transport operators to avoid delays, congestion and unnecessary trips;
diverting traffic from overcrowded roads to alternative modes including rail, sea and inland waterways;
reducing accidents;
increasing productivity;
gaining extra capacity from existing infrastructure;
encouraging integrated transport;
reducing energy use; and
reducing environmental pollution.
