Detailed Call Description

Studies and / or works, related to the following projects will be supported:

Intelligent Transport Services for road (ITS):

    • projects related to the deployment or upgrade of ITS infrastructure and services (including the upgrade of eCall Public safety answering points to packet switched eCall)
    • Projects related to deployment of cooperative ITS (C-ITS) services. Projects shall deploy C-ITS stations to provide C-ITS services based on the hybrid communication approach defined in the European C-ITS Strategy (COM (2016) 766 “A European strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems, a milestone towards cooperative, connected and automated mobility”).

Where relevant, ITS projects will seek synergies with 5G corridors deployment.

Where relevant, the above mentioned projects shall take into account the innovative new technologies and solutions in the fields of smart applications for transport resulting from Horizon Europe activities.

Digital platforms supported under CEF must be accessible for use by all operators on a non-discriminatory basis.

This topic focuses on the deployment or upgrade of ITS infrastructure and services and it may include data collection and dissemination that are necessary for these objectives.

Projects may include both works and studies (with or without pilots activities) provided that these different activities are clearly distinguished and separated into different Work Packages.
