Abstract

Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are technologies that enable vehicles to communicate with each other and with the road infrastructure. These innovative technologies enable road users and traffic managers to share useful information, assisting the coordination of their actions. During the last years various initiatives providing policy rules for C-ITS deployment and a large number of projects demonstrating C-ITS implementation have taken place in Europe and USA. However, the identification of the status of C-ITS deployment remains ambiguous at binational level. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the European and US milestones, that have been reached so far in the field of C-ITS, by identifying and reporting the policy framework, as well as the projects concerning C-ITS deployment in Europe and USA.
