ITS: Real Solutions for Real Needs
Welcome message
for the ITS Europe Congress 2013 - Dublin
The European Commission is very pleased to welcome you at the ITS European Congress 2013, hosted
by the city of Dublin. The Congress will allow you to discover and experience Europe’s latest advances
in Intelligent Transport Systems and innovative transport solutions.
With the theme “ITS: Real Solutions for Real Needs”, the 2013 Congress will highlight the need to
focus on innovative ITS solutions that are delivering value for money while addressing real mobility
issues and solving concrete transport problems.
As outlined in the Commission’s 2011 Transport White Paper, “innovation” is one of the pillars to
achieve a competitive and sustainable transport system. In its current efforts to promote Europe-
wide deployment of ITS as well as to put transport technologies research results into operation, the
European Commission is particularly addressing concrete ITS solutions such as multimodal journey
planners, eCall, road safety traffic information services as well as interoperable electronic tolling
solutions or a new generation of digital tachograph. The ITS Directive and Action Plan jointly provide
the policy and legal framework for the deployment and use of ITS in Europe. Relying also on other
policy initiatives, such as the “Horizon 2020” EU Framework for research and innovation (2014 -
2020) and on the “Connecting Europe Facility” infrastructure funding framework, the Commission
ITS strategy will help achieve EU policy objectives of a cleaner, more efficient, safer and more reliable
transport system, which is at the heart of Europe’s competitiveness.
Effectively deploying interoperable ITS solutions, spanning from and beyond urban areas, through
regions and across borders is one of our major challenges if we want to make optimal use of our
transport system. This ITS Europe 2013 Congress will be an excellent opportunity to learn about
current and future “real” ITS technologies and solutions that will shape such a smart and integrated
multi-modal transport system.
We would like to invite you to Dublin, and we look forward to meeting you there.

CALL FOR PAPERS 7The Event
The 9th European Congress and Exhibition will be held 4-7 June 2013 at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD).
All regions face similar challenges in delivering sustainable transport solutions to meet their current and future mobility requirements.
Transport authorities are aware of the real needs specific to their region but often find it difficult to identify detailed information on
targeted ITS solutions that would deliver direct and tangible positive outcomes.
Dublin 2013 Congress will primarily focus on ITS solutions that are driven by policy as opposed to being technology-led. The emphasis
will be on proven deployed solutions and innovative R&D that is focused on solving real problems and delivering value for money in
today’s challenging economic environment.
The Congress is on the official list of events of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Congress Format
Plenary Sessions
All attendees are welcome to join the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and plenary sessions in which key
personalities from today’s world of ITS will present their personal views on key ITS issues.
Executive Sessions
During these sessions guests including high-level industry executives and public officials will share their
perspectives and rich experiences with the audience. They will provide an exciting opportunity to learn
about future ITS initiatives.
Special Interest Sessions
Organised at the request of organisations or experts developing and deploying ITS, these interactive, tailor-
made meetings will delve into topics and offer fresh perspectives and insight. Sessions that appear to be
commercial sales pitches for a given product or company will not be permitted.
Technical/Scientific Sessions
These sessions are composed of presentations by international experts on varying ITS related topics
encompassing all technical, economic, organisational and societal aspects of ITS.
They aim to encourage and enable the exchange of information on deployment ranging from improving
the operational use of systems and services on the one hand to research and planning to support new
applications on the other.
Interactive Sessions
Interactive Sessions facilitate information exchange by providing a two stage workshop-style format to
enable presenters to reach and exchange with appropriate audiences of interested delegates .
The first stage is a regular presentation session where technical/scientific papers covering the same topic
are grouped together for presentation in order to facilitate discussion on that topic. For each session of
90-minutes there would be a minimum of 10 presentations (max of 3 slides) with no time for questions and
answers. This stage provides the audience with a flavour of what the authors have to present.
The second 90 minutes stage is a timeslot immediately following the presentation. All presenters assemble
in the “Market Square”, using a board or a computer, to go in depth and facilitate one-to-one discussions
both between speakers and between speakers and specialists.
