National Telematics Award “Innovative Use in Transport” - 2006
• Highest Award of the Republic Austria • Tribute to excellent performances • Symbol for the importance of Transport Telematic and Intelligent Transport Systems in Austria Category A: design/development of prototypes/systems solutions Category B: market-ready prototypes/systems solutions
Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology - Austria
Summary of the current status 2006 Successes in
• Creating a telematic community in Austria (industry...) • Stimulating a significant number of R& D projects • Devloping a lot of promising approaches (concepts, demonstrations) • Involvement in several strategic European projects • Significant Investments in telematic infrstructure have been initiated
Challenges
• The results are still too fragmented • Lack of integration between different applications and transport modes • Foster environmentaly friendly transport modes required • Lack of a clear path of implementation • Lack of expected benefits for the stakeholders
