France,
a package response Today's applications
of telematics to transport offer a wide range of products and services ranging
from travel demand management to traffic control and user information systems.
Many industrialists the world over are already present in this rapidly-expanding
market (VERTIS programmes in Japan, ITS in the United States and the European
Commission programmes).
These initiatives, which result in road safety improvements,
free-flowing traffic, motoring comfort and a reduction in environmental nuisance,
have received the support of the public authorities with a view to integrating
them into a coherent technical architecture and institutional framework.
The Fourth World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems, organised last October
in Berlin, showed that several products and services are now operational and ready
for large-scale deployment.
There is a growing list of projected systems
and services: in-vehicle navigation systems, electronic fee collection, automatic
incident detection systems, anti-collision and driver assistance systems, etc.
During this congress, by bringing together this sector's public and private
actors under the same roof of the French pavilion, France demonstrated the dynamism
of its supply which provides a package response to road telematics problems.
