Intelligent transport systems EU-funded research for efficient, clean and safe road transport

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are under continuous development to reduce congestion and to ensure the sustainable mobility of citizens and goods in response to the increase in traffic demand, resulting from higher levels of motorisation, urbanisation, population growth and demographic change.

This brochure reviews the contribution made over 15 years of EU-funded research in the field of ITS by the ‘Sustainable surface transport’ programme. It gives an exciting insight into the state of the art of ITS research and provides a glimpse of ITS technologies and systems we can expect to see on our roads in the near future.
