Smart Mobility: Transport telematics exhibition
The exhibition "Smart Mobility" is organized by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) with the cooperation of the EU programme of RTD in Transport Telematics (DRIVE). Most members of the ACEA are participating, together with major suppliers and the European Road Transport Telematics Implementation Organization (ERTICO).
In rethinking Europe's mobility network in order to overcome existing problems and to meet the requirements of the Single Market, the European Economic Area and the new democracies of Eastern Europe, one of the most positive solutions is a better and more intelligent use of existing road transport infrastructure. In addition, the work of programmes such as DRIVE and the EUREKA programme PROMETHEUS has remained, to an extent, theoretical. Greater political momentum is required to implement telematics systems, and to increase public awareness of these systems and their potential.
The exhibition aims to demonstrate to the authorities, opinion formers and to the public at large what is being achieved in this field. It features telematics applications in areas including travel information, traffic management, traffic information, vehicle control and fleet management.
