Summary
The objective is to modernise road transport infrastructure on the TEN-T network.
Detailed Call Description
Works aiming to:
- develop new safe and secure parking areas to be certified in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012 (including safety and security Information and Communication Technologies) on the road TEN-T network and its nodes for trucks and commercial vehicles;
- upgrade the safety and security of existing parking areas certified or to be certified in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012 (including safety and security Information and Communication Technologies) on the TEN-T road network for trucks and commercial vehicles;
- optimise the use of existing safe and secure parking areas for trucks and commercial vehicles through static and dynamic information including the collection, processing and dissemination of parking information.
