TTS Italia Handbook 2006

Who we are
TTS Italia is the Italian ITS Association. It was founded in
March 1999 by a group of both public and private
organisations active in the sector of Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS).
Our mission is to foster the deployment and diffusion of
ITS in Italy in the most effective manner for users, as we
believe that ITS Systems represent an essential tools for
improving the efficiency and safety of Italian transport
systems, and for protecting the environment.
Our main priorities are to provide our Associates with adequate instruments and information to
develop ITS applications as “user-oriented” as possible, and to support institutional bodies in the
actions of implementation, promotion and diffusion of Intelligent Systems and Services for Transport
and Safety.
Our challenge is to make ITS a real opportunity for Italy. For this, we work to clear and precise
objectives:
To facilitate the deployment of ITS systems and services in Italy and their market
penetration
To increase awareness and spread information about ITS in Italy
To support National and Local Institutions to define regulations and strategies for the
ITS sector
To stimulate discussion of themes of strategic interest with the aim of working
towards the adoption of a common architecture;
To provide valuable services to our Associates in order to enhance their knowledge on
up-to-date business opportunities on ITS
To sustain collaboration and consensus formation for technical, organisational and
institutional solutions
TTS Italia, therefore, proposes itself as a privileged forum at National level for the comparison of
positions, interests and needs of the various actors which contribute to the development and
implementation of ITS.
