EU-India project organises ITS workshop 2-3 March 2006

Creation date: 15 February 2006

The EU-India project, co-funded by the European Community's Sixth Framework Programme, will be running a workshop on 2-3 March 2006 in Delhi, India focusing on two main areas:

• EU-India eSafety cooperation. Key European ITS stakeholders will be presenting the European eSafety initiative to the Indian authorities and industry.
  
• ITS in transport planning for the Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010. ITS associations from other countries hosting future Games events will share their experience in using ITS for transport planning and management.

Indian participants include government Ministries, the Indian Olympics Association, local Delhi government and representatives from Indian industry.
 
Following the initial workshop, the EU–India project will also organise two main events in the course of 2006. The events will introduce both regions’ experiences and technologies in the ITS field with a particular focus on eSafety systems and services.
 
European participants of the events will include the European Commission, vehicle and equipment manufacturers, digital map providers, telecom operators, service providers, road operators, research institutes, as well as national and local authorities.
