concept CIMEC is a city-focused project which will explore the role cooperative ITS systems (C-ITS) can play to support city authorities in managing their transport networks and the delivery of other transport-linked services. It will reach out to key stakeholder groups (both public and private) to ensure a smooth and cost-effective deployment of C-ITS in cities around Europe. Two years project: June 2015 - May 2017.
Why CIMEC? • Deployment barriers are not technical: CIMEC aims to facilitate the take-up of C-ITS by increasing the alignment of technological solutions with user needs. • Deployment in cities is not keeping pace with the highways: CIMEC focuses specifically on this urban C-ITS context. • Deployment should happen in an open market place: CIMEC will engage with the larger traffic system suppliers and reach out to the small and medium-sized ones, in order to ensure a rich and open market place for C-ITS. • Deployment should be simple and integration automatic: CIMEC will drive the development and adoption of effective technical, operational and commercial standards.
Objectives • Develop an understanding of the challenges, enablers and barriers, and strategies for use of C-ITS solutions in European cities. • Bridge the gap between C-ITS development and deployment through cityfocused discussion on the most relevant applications of C-ITS technology. • Define city specific processes and interfaces for easier, more manageable and more standardized C-ITS deployment. • Identify how emerging standards for C-ITS will affect, and should respond to, the systems and processes in the urban environment. • Document practical system architectures and workflow of C-ITS support systems. • Raise awareness and understanding of C-ITS by promoting multi-sector stakeholder dialogue and collaboration.
Main activities • Local dialogue to establish city needs and requirements: workshops with key officers from the local authority and other local agencies to define city needs for C-ITS Jan – March 2016 • Engagement with suppliers and other c-its stakeholders: overview of commercial entities active in the C-ITS domain. Workshops to promote discussion among the city authorities, suppliers and other stakeholders (eg, vehicle manufacturers) Ongoing • Roadmap for the deployment of C-ITS: goals and constraints of cities and product emergence and commercial expectations of suppliers • Wider engagement • Four national/regional dissemination workshop. • An international City Pool to enable wider group of cities active/interested in C-ITS to follow and provide input. 1st meeting scheduled 1/12/15, Brussels • Synergies with other similar initiatives (e.g. H2020 project CODECS) joint City Pool
