The future of digital mobility is already underway

SCALE is an ambitious project aimed at scaling up the deployment of mature C-ITS services and supporting the technical development and large-scale impact assessments of new C-ITS use cases at 12 representative European pilot and operational sites.

To address the persistent problems and challenges hindering the industrialisation of the ecosystem in Europe, the project will establish the appropriate incentives to drive the transition towards this new generation of road transport and mobility services, thereby helping to ensure European leadership in this field.

Building on previous successful projects, the activities relating to use cases will be twofold: firstly, the project will address the scaling up and industrialisation of the most mature use cases that have already been developed; and secondly, the project will develop, implement and evaluate new use cases centred on specific topics of common European interest.

Benefits

There are many benefits to implementing C-ITS in Europe:

  • Improving safety for drivers and road workers through on-board communication and driver assistance
  • Managing and reducing road congestion by optimising the management of the road network and public transport fleets
  • Optimising real-time road information to enhance the driver’s experience and make it more comfortable
  • Better connect networks managed by various operators to improve interoperability and multimodality, and promote soft and active modes of transport to reduce the impact on the environment.
  • Improve road infrastructure and develop new services for users to create new financial valuation strategies in line with operational needs and the integration of connected and automated vehicles.
