Day One for C-ITS Deployment: is industry ready in 2015?

The deployment process of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems in Europe has reached its first milestone: Day One, 2015. Although the feasibility and benefits of C-ITS have been largely demonstrated in the past decades, there is still a gap between this category of implementations and the large-scale deployment: real-life implementations should be effective, geographically-continuous, interoperable and demonstrate a high degree of maturity. This paper aims to answer this question from the SWARCO perspective. SWARCO, with a long experience in ITS systems and TMCs design, has extended its OMNIA platform in line with actual trends regarding C-ITS applications and concepts. With particular reference to issues related to large-scale implementations of C-ITS, this document will provide some insights about the SWARCO approach and best practices, which are meant to support these upcoming challenges.
