Shadow opinions (1)
OPINION on the European strategy on cooperative intelligent transport systems
Amendments (5)
Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Recalls that end-user acceptance of alternative fuels strongly depends on the availability of fuelling or charging infrastructure and highlights that making information on such infrastructure (e.g. non-occupied recharging points nearby) accessible could boost demand;urges the Commission to enable these services with a higher priority;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Stresses the potential of innovative technologies such as automated driving and "platooning" (grouping divers vehicles) in road freight transport, as it allows better use of slipstream and thereby reduces fuel consumption and emissions;calls for further support for research and development in that area, notably for necessary digital infrastructure and calls on the Commission to make necessary provisions for interoperability on EU level under the ITS Directive;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Notes that C-ITS can also help making more efficient use of existing transport infrastructure as traffic can be organized more efficiently and safety distances can be reduced due to sensors (e.g. Platooning for HGV or automated trains) thus reducing the need for building additional infrastructure;
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. Calls on the Commission to facilitate access to traffic-related data for public and private actors such as digital map and navigation service providers, considering that these services are key to enable intermodal transport, more efficient routing and automated driving;underlines, however, that end- user trust in the protection of personal data and privacy is crucial to gain acceptance for sharing individual data;therefore supports the Commissions approach of “data protection by design and by default” as outlined in the C-ITS Strategy;
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Underlines that cooperation at local and regional level on the development and implementation of C-ITS across the EU is crucial; urges the Commission and Member States to closely cooperate with local and regional authorities that provide public transport to achieve a high level of integration of private and public transport with a view to a more sustainable mobility;
