In this webinar, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and Kapsch TrafficCom will share insights of the Irish Government's pilot program for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), an initiative aimed at creating safer and more intelligent roadways.
The C-ITS pilot is part of then Network Intelligence and Management System (NIMS) project in Ireland, for the implementation of which TII has entrusted Kapsch TrafficCom. Through the realization of NIMS, TII is seeking to manage traffic flow, optimize the performance of the motorway network, ensure the efficient dissemination of traffic and network performance information, and coordinate incident response capabilities more effectively.
C-ITS: Driving Communication Forward
At the heart of the pilot program lies innovative C-ITS technology, which enables vehicles to seamlessly communicate with each other, roadside infrastructure and traffic control centers. This allows the real-time transmission of safety alerts and advisory messages directly to drivers. Safety notifications, including collision and congestion warnings, roadwork updates, and weather conditions, will be sent through smartphone apps or tablets connected to roadside units installed on the M50 and M1 motorways in Dublin.

What will you learn:
• How the C-ITS pilot helps improve effectiveness of the Irish road network
• Preceding issues and how they were addressed via NIMS/C-ITS
• General benefits of C-ITS (traffic flow management, optimizing resource usage, enhancing road safety
• Real-life deployment lessons learned
• Wider C-ITS use cases
