RTTI

• Discussion of Recommendations

Situation in Germany

• Free-of-charge and Pay Services operating
• ca. 2,5 - 3 Mio end users
• Information from multiple Sources
• TCCs, Police, Maintenance Units, Jam busters,
  Private Detectors
• Vision Floating Car Data, Floating Phone Data,
  ..., Joint Data Pools

RTTI Recommendations

• Recommended Actions for the Member States
• Aiming to have by the year 2010 80 of
  journeys throughout Europe served with adequate,
  standardised RTTI services using firstly
  RDS/TMC, the Member States should if not
  already realized - ....

9
RTTI Recommendations

• (1) agree at the national level on a strategy and
  time schedule for implementation of RTTI
  services, starting from RDS/TMC, covering as good
  as possible both inter-urban and urban areas,

10
RTTI Recommendations

• (2) support the TMC-Forum to push the
  safety-related service features of TMC, building
  on the already existing, standardised European
  format for the data, messaging and transmission
  standards,

11
RTTI Recommendations s

• (3) take steps to ensure roaming and
  interoperability across the RTTI-services,

12
RTTI Recommendations

• (4) require their authorities to make available
  existing public data for the provision of
  RTTI-services and to establish additional
  collection of real-time traffic information when
  necessary,

13
RTTI Recommendations

• (5) agree, on the basis of the national RTTI
  strategies and the Commission Recommendation on
  TTI services, with the private service providers
  on the extend of the public (free of charge)
  services and the conditions for the commercial
  services, and establish public-private
  partnerships if necessary

14
RTTI Recommendations

• (6) ensure the correct implementation of the
  standard by service providers,

15
RTTI Recommendations

• (7) publish, following the guidance of the
  Commission RTTI recommendation clear guidelines
  for the private sector, the conditions for
  establishing private data collection networks for
  commercial purposes,

16
RTTI Recommendations

• (8) require broadcasters, especially those
  operating under public licence, to carry the
  RDS/TMC traffic information for public or private
  providers so that a minimum of 80 of journey
  drivers has access to a relevant service,

17
RTTI Recommendations

• (10) support the development of more advanced
  services possible by 3G Mobile Communications,
  DAB and DVB-T and satellite broadcasting,
  wireless LANs and others.

18
Geographical Position of Germany in the European
Union

• EU after 1 May 2004
• New Challenge
• More international Traffic
• Drivers with different driving attitudes

19
Traffic Management on German Federal
Motorways Implementation until 2007

RDS-TMC in Germany

• 10 Public Broadcasters (ARD)
• with TMC in 25 Programmes
• free of charge
• 2 Private Broadcasters with RDS-TMC free of charge

• Private Broadcasters
• transmitting encrypted Pay-TMC in local
  Programmes

• ca. 2.5 - 3 Mio Receivers
• Car Radios,
• hand-held Radios,
• PC-Cards
• and mainly Navigation Systems

21
RDS-TMC in Europe

• Many European Countries have installed or are
  planning to install RDS-TMC Services
• ... but some clear evidence missing

22
HMI Recommendations

• Recommendation Update needed
• Main Problems
• Nomadic devices
• Irrelevant Information (e.g. TV while driving)
• Manipulation of Systems (e.g. enabling TV while
  driving)
• Service Providers not included

23
eCall

• General Idea welcome
• Emergency sercices organised by Länder
• Subsidiarity principle to be respected
• Separation of eCall reception and emergency
  handling
• Germany is willing to contribute to eCall as long
  as subsidiarity is respected

24
Road Maps Achievements,

• Systematic Listing of eSafety-Systems
• Market Situation Vehicle Population untill 2010
• Realistic Potential Assessment according to
  Market Situation
• Extension of Time Horizon from 2010 to 2015, 2020

25
Structural Preconditions for eSafety Systems

• Funktionalities
• Subsystems
• Listung in a Matrix

26
New View of WG Road Maps

• Obstacles for eSafety Systems
• Isolated Consideration of individual Systems
  neglects possible Synergies
• Rough Assessment of Safety potentials of
  individual Systems (German Accident Statistics)
• Considerations
• without additional measures (Status Quo)
• with supporting measures, e.g.Financial
  Incentives, Legal Regulations, Integration of
  Systems, etc.
