Smart transport systems and services are transforming the mobility of people and goods across Europe and beyond. But state-of-the-art ITS deployment is far from complete and the smarter mobility market is still developing. More and more, cities need new and innovative solutions to help them meet air quality and emission targets, not to mention for reducing congestion, improving people's mobility and transport safety and efficiency. In fact, new tools are needed, to bring people together and share information about deployments, outcomes, impacts and benefits.

Owner, Supplier or Expert? The ITS Observatory Can Light Up Your ITS

The ITS Observatory is not just Europe's first online catalogue of ITS deployment and "who's who" directory of the ITS community, it's a bright new channel for you to broadcast news of the smart transport and mobility systems you own and operate, or that you supply.

Share Your ITS Deployment

Tell the world about your ITS systems and smart mobility services , and how they help you achieve your business or policy objectives. Describe your success stories, but also the lessons you've learned. Share your contact details and discuss your assessment of impacts, benefits and costs with people you trust.

Present Your ITS Products and Services

Use the "who's who" business channel to present your products, solutions and expertise to potential customers: if your systems or services are listed in the online catalogue, they'll find them easily and be impressed by your successful implementations and clients' recommendations.

Highlight Your ITS Expertise

If you're an ITS expert, consultant or researcher, listing in "who's who" will highlight your expertise, experience and references. You can see and respond to questions posted in the Knowledge Marketplace, or set up a private conversation with a new client. If you're a research project manager, thought leader or innovator, submit a news item or send an article to ITS Insight department.

A Social Tool for and by the ITS Community

The social element of the ITS Observatory will enable users to contact each other directly, to share information, build partnerships and create new initiatives. The ITS Observatory can be a "virtual ITS cafe" and meeting place. What's on the menu? Answer: your ITS!
