Intelligent transportation networks

Mobility is and remains an important factor for growth and employment in the digital world of the 21st century. Ensuring mobility is a task of general interest.

The recommendations for action made in recent years regarding the lack of a specific legal/regulatory framework, insufficient broadband availability and network characteristics as well as the lack of social acceptance of intelligent, networked mobility solutions remain valid. These apply in particular in the current times of disruptive change in mobility. The reasons for this are:
  • the transformation of mobility requirements and the resulting offerings
  • the challenges of environmental and climate protection and
  • growing cooperation between cities and regions
Looking back on the work of the expert group (cf. the summit recommendations since 2012, the “Intelligent Mobility” roadmap, the ITS action plan and the Bundestag resolution “Promoting intelligent mobility”), the following fields of action can be identified for the 2020s with regard to mobility:
  • Creation of a master plan for mobility change with a mobility law that is holistically designed across all mobility modes. Supported by the consensus of all stakeholders involved, this supports the provision of services of general interest.
  • Mobility requires the bundling of responsibilities in order to comprehensively coordinate decision-making and implementation competencies. The Federal Ministry of Transport (or a future Ministry of Mobility) must play a central role here and continue to demand the corresponding decision-making and implementation powers.
  • Mobility requires investments and funding programs that support the master plan and the bundling of competencies. This includes
  • improving the digital infrastructure of transport routes, including in rural areas,
  • support for the data economy, data rooms and artificial intelligence,
  • support for mobility services such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), especially in rural regions, as not all services are economically viable there.

The 2021 work program of the Intelligent Transport Networks expert group includes the following priorities:

The expert group is actively involved in the projects of the Intelligent Networking Working Group on the annual topic of “Services of general interest and future viability through intelligent networking”. This concerns the joint documents of the Working Group and in particular the DIV Conference 2021. The activities of ITS Germany e.V. for the 2021 federal election regarding recommendations for action on future mobility policy are supported and carried forward by the expert group.

Target image Intelligent transport networks 2020:

In 2020, intelligent mobility will enable the efficient and environmentally friendly use of mobility resources. Mobility is available anytime and anywhere and is not tied to vehicle ownership. A comprehensive mobility approach that includes all stakeholders (road users, industries, service and network providers and the public sector) forms the basis. The key target components are

  • Increasing individualization while avoiding unnecessary traffic
  • Promotion of intermodality
  • Ecological improvements
  • Increased road safety Improved quality of life

In 2020, the legal framework has been adapted to the state of the art
. A legal framework has been created that regulates the
handling of traffic data throughout Europe. This enables providers and customers to
operate in a secure environment when transmitting, storing and processing personal data. Key
target image components are:

  • Opening up the toll infrastructure
  • Open Data
  • Protection against unauthorized movement profiles
  • Framework conditions for platforms

In 2020, all transport operators are embedded in a German architecture that provides interfaces for real-time information on delays, congestion, capacity, etc. for use by mobility integrators. The construction of the infrastructure was financed via a newly defined business model. The main target components are

  • Efficiency gains and growth potential
  • Interaction between basic services and mobility integrators
  • Networking of traffic management centers
  • Increasing importance of traffic data
  • Sensor, tracking and communication technologies in means of transportation and load carriers

In 2020, a networked, secure and unrestricted exchange of data will enable mode-specific and intermodal mobility planning and implementation as well as intelligent traffic control. This will relieve the burden on all users and make it easier for them to participate in traffic thanks to the complex systems behind it. All market participants are aware of their obligation to supply basic data as part of a coordinated
architecture. The key target components are

  • Intermodal traffic information system
  • Traffic data marketplace
  • Improving mobility flows
  • Smooth processing of trade flows
  • Availability, reliability and quality of mobility data

In 2020, intelligent mobility services will use networked data exchange. They will have free and unrestricted access to all mobility data from the public sector and private sector operators of modes of transport. ICT technologies have found their way into all modes of transport and have a strong leverage effect for smoother and safer traffic. More relaxed, more informed and more environmentally friendly mobility is a reality. The key target components are:

  • Comprehensive telematics infrastructure
  • Forced standardization
  • Germany-wide overall architecture
  • Broadband availability
