TTS Italia Activities 2005-2006
Our Priorities for 2005-2006
Activities for the years 2005-2006 have been focussed on six primary objectives:
To update the information base of the Association’s Telematic Observatory through
research aimed at defining the current state of diffusion in both short and medium
term time periods of telematic technologies and systems in strategic transport sectors
and their market penetration
To strengthen TTS Italia’s instruments of communication to eventually supply
updated and timely information on activities, initiatives and projects being carried out
in the ITS sector in Italy and the world
To stimulate discussion on themes of interest within working groups instituted by the
Association’s Technical Committee
To promote the Italian ITS sector abroad by means of participation in international
exhibitions, meetings with foreign delegations and, above all, through the Accord
between TTS Italia and the Ministry of Industry for the promotion of the
products/services of ITS members in Russia and Poland
To participate in international initiatives and projects on ITS
To carry out training activities in the ITS sector
The National ITS Observatory
In 2001 the Association established an observatory to monitor the development/diffusion of ITS in
Italy, with the primary aim of creating a continuously updated base of information about the Italian
situation in the transport sector that is strategic for the National economy.
The observatory is managed directly by the Secretariat of the Association. Research is carried out
within the observatory’s remit into the prediction of the situation in the ITS sector, in particular, on
the expected demand for new ITS technologies, systems and services. The results of these studies
can be used by public bodies and TTS Italia member companies as a knowledge base to support
decisions on investment strategies and the promotion of the ITS sector in our country.
