NAPCORE & DATEX II – presenting TISA’s vital traffic information activities

November 22, 2022

At the recent DATEX II Forum that took place on 2-3 November 2022, Matthias Unbehaun, Executive Director of TISA presented to a wide group of mobility peers the organisation’s contribution and successful collaboration with other stakeholders, such as DATEX II, on the EU Delegated Acts for Safety Related Traffic Information (SRTI). Stephanie Chaufton, TISA’s Senior Coordinator attended the NAPCORE Advisory Board meeting on 2 November and NAPCORE Mobility Data Days event that took place in parallel from 3- 4 November in Paris.  Both events were opportunities for TISA to align and network with various organisations involved in traffic and data information.

Matthias Unbehaun delivered a historical overview of the progress made on the harmonised message sets for the EU Delegated Act for STRI and RTTI and the joint work of EU-EIP and TISA to reach clarifications on Action B and C in 2017. Since its first release of the SRTI harmonised message set document in 2013, an additional ten safety events have been added in 2020. ‘It is important to acknowledge and respect the variety of different legal regimes, actors and their responsibilities across the Member States,‘ he said.

NAPCORE gathers over 80 different public and private entities to enhance the harmonisation of the National Access Points. The organisation aims to leverage the massive amount of data available on transport and mobility and make it more accessible. TISA is an active member of the NAPCORE Board. At the event, there was a variety of workshops in a World Café format. A range of organisations representing the data industry were present and TISA took great interest in an afternoon workshop session on cycling led by Cristina Buraga (CEREMA) and Ronald Jorna (NDW), where for example the company Eco-Counter revealed their unique and innovative solutions to count pedestrians and cyclists. Eco-Counter will also be presenting at the TISA face- to-face Committee meeting on 6 – 7 December in Brussels. Calling on members to join us there!
