CODECS did pass three phases focussing on inventory, consolidation and guidelines during its project lifetime. During RP 1 CODECS organised 12 public workshops and one webinar and operated one booth during the CAR 2 CAR Forum 2015 for involving external stakeholders, undertook further dissemination activities (incl. European ITS Congress 2016 in Glasgow) and created 12 deliverables. During RP 2 CODECS organised 11 public workshops and 3 webinars, engaged in the European ITS Congress 2017 (Strasbourg), organised its final event at the TRA 2018 (Vienna) and gave 2 presentations at other fora for involving external stakeholders, undertook further dissemination activities and created 13 deliverables, updated one deliverable and published an additional website report.
Examples
• The need to advance on a C-ITS hybrid communication approach has been one of the key conclusions of the C-ITS Platform Final report (Phase 1).
• Initiative to take further the cross-sector dialogue. Organised a workshop in May 2017, reported as additional documentation 4.2.1. The results were presented to the C-ITS deployment platform working group workshop in July 2017. The workshop conclusions have provided the level playing field for further actions of COM in the context of the C-ITS Platform (Final Report Phase 2) and fostered the discussions in C-Roads on hybrid communication during the first half of 2018.
All released information e.g. workshops and webinars with given presentations, deliverables, reports, newsletters, project folder, fact sheet and brochure can be downloaded from the CODECS website www.codecs-project.eu. The brochure provides on overview on the main findings, gives some examples and refers to the related deliverables for each work area of CODECS.
CODECS built up a Stakeholder Network involving more than 250 experts from all stakeholders being interested in C-ITS. CODECS networked the public and private stakeholders, exchanged information on C-ITS with and between the stakeholders, collected and aligned their views and requirements and considered feedback on the outlined findings and results in the deliverables. Close cooperation was established among others with the Amsterdam Group, C-ITS Deployment Platform, CIMEC, C-ROADS, HIGHTS, TIMON and MAVEN projects. CODECS results like
• harmonised templates for describing use cases are used by the C-Roads projects
• additional workshop report on hybrid communication was used by the C-ITS Deployment Platform for aligning views of stakeholders from different domains
• multi-perspective analysis of C-ITS deployment preparation (pilots and deployment initiatives, deployment issues and actors, Deliverable D2.2) and Deployment Guidance (Deliverable D2.6) illustrate the cross-sector collaboration between automotive industry and infrastructure organisations in profiling the C-ITS standards in a harmonised way
• deliverable D3.4 on roadmaps analysed of a number of already existing roadmaps, identified initial set of principles and gives guidance for aligning future deployments
• urban related deliverables D4.2 and D4.3 are used by city authorities as well as other stakeholders
• deliverable D4.4 on strategic issues analysed the historical trends and detailed sub-issues and gives recommendations on uncovered issues
The CODECS Brochure highlights the main results and findings and gives reference to the published deliverables and workshop and webinar presentations. For granting further free access to the findings and results of CODECS the Amsterdam Group took over the hosting of the CODECS website www.codecs-project.eu beyond its project lifetime until end of 2018.
