The development and deployment of TM 2.0 services involves the cooperation of several actors and stakeholders from both “road side traffic management” and “in-vehicle” perspective, but also spread throughout the public and private sector. This task force collected the experiences and lessons learned from recent European initiatives and projects in the domain of innovative traffic management.

The different driving forces and expectations identified from public and private sector stakeholders confirmed the need for a simplified concept for depicting the organisational aspects associated to TM 2.0.

This task force surveyed the latest developments and trends which may facilitate the development of innovative traffic management services and the areas where more work is needed and specific actions should be undertaken so as to facilitate the provision of such services by Traffic Management Centres and service providers.

The focus of this task force was to provide the basis for data exchange between traffic management plans and procedures and in-car service providers, which should enable TM 2.0 services. This includes identifying the necessary data sets, determining quality requirements for these data sets, and defining requirements concerning privacy and security.<

This Task Force has addressed the steps that can be taken to achieve an interactive and dynamic TM 2.0 by undertaking the following tasks:

Identify candidate areas (cities / regions) for the implementation of TM 2.0
Provide an overview of TM status and of the deployment steps needed to realise TM 2.0 in different representative cities / regions
Present the future plans and next steps towards further implementation of TM2.0
This Task Force does not engage in the deployment tasks but supports the TM2.0 members and candidate areas by providing guidance through a common framework, supporting local deployment plan and approach. It is important to note that this Task Force looks only at the deployment steps, leaving other aspects such as the identification of data, benefits, best practices, business models, contractual aspects, etc. to be addressed by other TM 2.0 Task Forces.

A common framework is seen by the TM 2.0 members as an important instrument for achieving a shared understanding of the benefits and challenges involved in the implementation of TM 2.0. It supports the identification and description of the relationships and interdependencies between ITS stakeholders involved in traffic management, and that includes the distribution of roles and tasks, and win-win situations sought to be achieved with the delivery of a specific TM 2.0 service solution. It also facilitates an efficient exchange of knowledge between different TM 2.0 deployment areas, allowing these cities and regions to capture and understand lessons learnt from each other.

The TF published

in November 2016

The TM 2.0 ERTICO Innovation Platform Task Force (TF) on Value Proposition envisaged the definition of value propositions under consideration of different ITS stakeholder perspectives. In order to assess the diversity of needs, and ensure the ‘win-win’ principle is followed, the TF on Value Proposition examined four cities / regions in Europe, namely Thessaloniki, Helmond – Eindhoven – Tilburg, Salzburg and Barcelona and assessed their common vision in how TM 2.0 can help in facing the different challenges in their traffic management practices.<

Automation along the entire chain of road transportation and services will play a key role in future transport systems. Traffic Management has to be ready to accommodate the circulation of automated vehicles. The main objective of this TF is to assess how the gradual road presence of automated vehicles, at automation level 3 and above, will affect the current Traffic Management practices.

Another objective is to analyse how new Traffic Management practices can facilitate the smooth integration of automated vehicles in real traffic, while gaining the maximum benefits from this introduction.

Quantifiable benefits and KPIs are essential when building a solid business case for deploying the TM 2.0 concept. The data exchange between Traffic Management Centres (TMCs) and Mobility Service providers (MSPs), has to be able to be assessed and measured so that success can be evaluated.

This TF focuses on defining a methodology for the Quantification of Benefits of TM2.0 by simulating TM 2.0 on two specific cities (Verona and Thessaloniki), which are treated as case studies.<

The TM 2.0 concept on the exchange of Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) aims to enable, facilitate and accelerate the information exchange among traffic management stakeholders and in particular the access to policy and strategy based plans and actions as these are set by the public authorities and road operators. Specifically, TF8 works to define the concept of TMP (decisions, procedures and strategies) as it is key for the better understanding and development of TM 2.0, and what is included in TMPs and how to exchange it.

Work Plan<

Task Force Proposal Objectives

• Use the results of the finalized Report of the TF on Deployment Steps in order to identify Best Practices on the deployment of aspects (individual components) of the general TM 2.0 concept, and collect them on a template/Survey format (on roles of stakeholders/business cases/ex of TMPs etc.) at city and region level
• Elaborate deeper on what is needed with regards to TM 2.0 innovation procurement process
• integrate in the TF Report the assessment of the new role the TMCs are taking in the future (PP cooperation)<

The objective of this Task Force is to speed up the development of innovative solutions for advanced active traffic management by linking to intermodal and syncromodal interfaces, to liaise with relevant initiatives and projects (DTLF, CO-GISTICS, URSA MAJOR, INTERCOR) and to proceed to Project. Main tasks will be to identify relevant use cases and the survey needs for “digital infrastructure” and intelligent cargo; and to analyse needs for new interfaces and communication technologies.

Deadline for Midterm reporting is January 2018; deadline for finalisation is June 2018

Task Force Proposal Objectives

• Further develop the concept of TMP exchange by analyzing the ‘why’ in the exchange of ‘’TMP’’ (focus on the message/text provided as ‘suggestion’ (and justification) in rerouting & explore if this exists already in TPEG or TPEG extensions are needed).
• Explore further synergies with TISA on text provided to the user
• Cooperation of public authorities and TM alignment among them
• Explore synergies with Datex II
• Expected report June of 2017

Task Force Proposal Objectives

The main aim of TM2.0 is to enable vehicle interaction with traffic management. A lot of research effort is focusing on automation in road transport, which is expected to benefit also from the evolution of Cooperative ITS and the exchange of data among all entities. Road Automation is an important development that is expected to affect not only the vehicle but also the infrastructure and thus the TM, so it has to be considered in view of the long term evolution in TM. In addition it can be considered as an enabler of the evolution of TMCs.

The objective of this Task Force is to provide public and private stakeholders with practical guidelines on how to facilitate TM 2.0 collaboration between stakeholders on a tactical level.

The TF published in June 2018

This new Task Force will open and will help us to deploy what we have agreed for the past 3 years. The TM 2.0 chairs Klaas Rozema (Dynniq) and Martin Russ (Austriatech) will lead this Task Force. The main tasks will be to set the next phase IV: from TM 2.0 testing & assessing towards marketplace implementation, to define the roadmap and to give the opportunity for the TM 2.0 members to include proposals for next TF work.

The TF on TM 2.0 – MaaS will need to develop smart mobility solutions between traffic management and MaaS.  The TF will work towards defining the functionalities of TM 2.0 (influencing & informing on traffic) and how these enable MaaS services. It will also aim at piloting the results at urban & motorway level using use cases such as park&ride in a host city (and motorway) that is already (or is interested in) implementing MaaS services. Additional use case: traffic management related to events causing heavy temporary traffic flows.

The objectives of the TF on TM 2.0 as a Trusted Network are to: Define elements of Trust: – Definition of Trust and its characteristics – Definition of the requirements for trust to be established in TM 2.0 schemes – ‘Trusted entities’ (members of TM 2.0 and following the concept, e.g. NAPs) – Define T 2.0 modules (step-based approach on implementing TM 2.0 in practice) – Define TM 2.0 ‘seal’ (awarded to TM practices upon request)

The TF on Digital Infrastructure will investigate the current state of the art of the European Digital Infrastructure, and assess the current and future needs for automated and autonomous mobility. For this it will identify demands for digital and adaption of physical infrastructure to support automated mobility (Public Transport and Individual Traffic). In this context the TF will investigate the link between Operational Design Domain (ODD) and Infrastructure Support Levels for Automated Driving (ISAD) and how digital infrastructure can support automated and autonomous mobility.

As there is a strong need for inventory of policy goals and initiatives and also for inventory of standards and/or ways to communicate intelligent access policy in digital ways, the TF on Intelligent Access will look into the current SoA with regards to Access, Regulations and assess the needs that TM 2.0 concept has in this aspect of planning and managing traffic.

The TF on Multimodality in TM will need to elaborate on the links and common path between TM 2.0 and MaaS. It will show how TM is evolving towards embracing other modes of mobility with key focus on a seamless passenger travel. The TF aims to understand and bond multimodality in the context of TM 2.0 and show how the use of different transport modes influences and impacts traffic in terms of planning and management. The TF will focus on, examine and address the (peri-) urban.

Roadworks are unavoidable for the maintenance and expansion of public infrastructure; at the same time, they are an obstacle to mobility. Transport authorities have the task of ensuring a smooth flow of traffic despite road works. Traffic-relevant roadworks must be identified and made available as information so that everyone can coordinate and the interested public can be informed. With up-to-date and target group-adapted information about road works, road users such as ambulances, fire brigades, logistics companies and individual traffic can be intelligently guided around road works, thus optimising the traffic situation.

This TF will focus on providing a more inclusive definition on micromobility (not only e-bikes and e-scooters) and on researching how micromobility affects traffic management and how can it be managed within traffic management and its infrastructures. This includes, prioritization of micromobility within the field of traffic management, relevant data-sources and feeds (Such as the US MDS standard) new types of “space allocation” management, as well as learning from micromobility strategies of different cities and regions.

This TF will investigate multimodality in relation to public transport as well as MaaS providers and their business models and how these interact with the road network (including how fleets are managed, COVID and resilience, park and ride measures and schemes). The enhanced use of data and relevant data models, governance models and business models will be considered for each of the above.

The Task Force on applicability of SOCRATES2.0 results will start with the results from the work conducted under the SOCRATES2.0 project including work on business models, technical content and other aspects of interactive traffic management. From there the TF will study how the partners of TM 2.0 and other stakeholders in traffic management could use the results of SOCRATES2.0 for their region, city, or country. This will also entail reflecting on the next steps that should be taken to continue enabling the improvement of traffic management.
