Drive, expertise and enthusiasm bring ITS to life in Croatia

The ERTICO Partnership at the 20th ITS World Congress, Tokyo

Interview with Yoshinari Shiraishi and Akihiro Fujiwara, FUJITSU TEN

Already back in the 80s and 90s,

road telematics was on the agenda in

institutions such as the University of

Zagreb and private companies such

as Ericsson Nikola Tesla. At the end

of the 1990s a group of transport and

traffic scientists, led by the Faculty

of Transport and Traffic Sciences of

the University of Zagreb, recognised

the importance of ITS and initiated

a number of research projects.

Among these projects were general

models of ITS and their modal

mapping, methods for development

of integrated intelligent transport

systems and the methodology for

the development of an integrated

adaptive transport and logistics

system. The projects were supported

by Croatia’s Ministry of Science or

other public bodies and public-owned

companies. The creation of the

Croatian Institute for Construction

– IGH and first business initiatives

helped to spread the ITS idea.

In 2005, ITS was included as a

new branch in Croatia’s National

Classification of Scientific Areas. In

the same year ITS Croatia was founded

as a scientific and professional non-

governmental organisation with

the aim to promote and achieve

harmonised development of ITS in

Croatia. The main objectives of

ITS Croatia are to stimulate and

promote the cooperation among

members in the development of the

national architecture of ITS and the

harmonised development of ITS in

Croatia, to form public scientific and

professional opinion about ITS, and

to cooperate with ITS associations on

a European and global level.

The Business Innovation Centre of

Croatia – BICRO - was established

to enhance further collaboration

between research and business

entities. This governmental agency

provides the support to technological

development and commercialisation

of research results through

researchers and business cooperation

also ensuring financial, material

and other necessary preconditions

for innovation development. The

importance and role of ITS and

intelligent road telematics was

recognised and supported by BICRO.

Drive, expertise and enthusiasm bring ITS to life in CroatiaWith Croatia becoming the 28th country joining the EU 1st July 2013, this article

takes a close look at the current ITS status and future outlook in Croatia.by Maria De Rycke

ITS in Croatia has known a rapid and accelerated development in the recent two decades. ITS research projects

backed by public and private initiatives led to the formation of the necessary collaborative platforms in Croatia

for ITS development and deployment. The Republic of Croatia is committed to secure the safe, accurate, energy

efficient and ecological and environmental friendly transportation of people and goods, especially with regard

to the high number of tourists during the summer period. Hence Croatia’s focus on the implementation of new

traffic management systems, parking management and intermodal transport . International harmonisation is also

a key priority for Croatia. The adoption of the EU ITS Directive of 2011 (1) earmarked the harmonised provision

for an interoperable EU-wide eCall (the European emergency number) as a national ITS priority. International

harmonisation of transport systems also opens opportunities for wider, regional cooperation.

Sound platform for ITS development

Croatia’s ITS development strategy

Prof. Sadko Mandzuka, President of

ITS Croatia, Member of the Croatian

Council for the development of ITS

in road transport and Head of the

Chair of Transport Telematics of

the Faculty of Transport and Traffic

of the University of Zagreb, was

interviewed by ERTICO in September

2013 on Croatia’s ITS development

strategy. He confirmed that this

ITS strategy is strongly linked to

the implementation of new traffic

management systems/centres. It

includes adaptive traffic

control, public transport

management, parking

management and

intermodal transport in

cities and ferry ports.

This strategy will enable

the development of

small and medium

enterprises with focus

on manufacturing of

management systems

and telematics

equipment. Prof.

Mandzuka believes that

future public-private

partnerships will enable,

lead and accelerate

the development and

implementation of various ITS

systems and services in Croatia.

Following its EU counterparts, Croatia

plans to set up a special department

in the Ministry of Transport dedicated

to ITS. The goal of this department

would be the development of

methods and measurements required

to encourage the development and

implementation related to ITS in

Croatia, as well as monitoring the

performance of ongoing plans.

In a European context, international

harmonisation is necessary to avoid

potential obstacles in the traffic

flows on the important pan European

corridors passing through Croatia.

Given the global financial and

economic situation and the condition

of the Croatian economy, Prof.

Mandzuka is expecting that Croatia

would need financial support in order

to implement different ITS systems

and services.

It appears that Croatia will

rely considerably on private

sector initiatives for the further

development of ITS services.

EU Membership

In 2013 Croatia joined the EU.

During an ERTICO conversation

with a high level Croatian ITS

stakeholder representing both the

business and academic stakeholders,

it was confirmed that Croatia

expects enormous benefits from

EU membership. The country will

be able to integrate with the

established and the future transport

ITS infrastructure built jointly by

EU members. Croatia will take

part in various activities starting

from Horizon 2020 to different EU

based professional organisations

and initiatives. EU membership will

provide the Croatian ITS community

with the opportunity to join several

COST action groups (2). Some of

these action groups target ITS

development, standardisation,

especially in the area of GNSS-

based (Galileo) (3) development.

For Croatian ITS specialists, there

is currently a learning curve as

to the best way to join their EU

counterparts, how to leverage the

benefits from joining

the EU platforms and

how to take part in the

technology and business

ITS development.

Therefore, Croatia will

need to establish the

appropriate procedures

and infrastructure to

manage these interfaces.

In line with the ITS

Directive from the

European Commission,

the Ministry of Maritime

Affairs, Transport and

Infrastructure of Croatia

will develop guidelines

for the deployment of

priority areas of ITS.

These areas included

the provision of EU-wide real-time

traffic information services; data

and procedures for the provision,

where possible, of road safety

related minimum universal traffic

information free of charge to users;

the harmonised provision for an

interoperable EU-wide eCall; and the

provision of information services for

safe and secure parking places for

trucks and commercial vehicles and

the provision of reservation services

for safe and secure parking places for

trucks and commercial vehicles.

Real environment testing of eCall in Croatia including a real crash test of vehicles equipped with the eCall in vehicle system unit.

Successful eCall pilot project

In line with above mentioned

priorities, Croatia has been an active

partner in the HeERO consortium

current testing and validating in real

life conditions the European eCall

standards defined and approved by

the European Standardisation Bodies.

The Croatian National consortium

is led by the National Protection

and Rescue Directorate (NPRD) with

active participation from several

stakeholders such as Ericsson Nikola

Tesla and the Croatian auto club

(Hrvatski autoklub).

Pavao Britvic of the NPRD and the

Croatian eCall Pilot National Co-

ordinator, confirmed in an interview

to ERTICO in September 2013

that all requirements for eCall

implementation have been fulfilled.

Croatia has recognised eCall as an

enabling technology, a foundation on

which ITS systems and services can

build. The integration of different

services from multiple stakeholders is

vital for the economy of scale. Vehicle

manufacturers, mobile network

operations and service providers are

essential to what can be done and

what can be offered.

ITS development in the South-

Eastern Region

In order to harmonise transport

systems within the EU, a regional

Balkan cooperation provides an

additional opportunity.

Croatia is an active partner in

the South-East Europe Transport

Observatory (SEETO) (4). This regional

transport organisation established in

2004 plays a vital role in the process

of transport and infrastructure

development in the South-East

Europe. Along the infrastructure

development, its main role is to

improve the quality of services and

transport efficiency. According to the

SEETO Secretariat in Belgrade, one of

the strategic priorities for transport

in the entire region is to reduce

transport barriers and bottlenecks;

as well as to improve the regional

interconnections, in order to

attract the regional, European and

international commercial traffic

flows.

Prof. Mandzuka emphasied the

importance of the Croatian

participation in the South-East Europe

ITS (SEE ITS) (5) project. This project

aims to stimulate co-operation and

interoperability between isolated

ITS applications as to ensure

seamless mobility through the TERN

(Trans-European Road Network) (6)

motorways. Integration with urban/

interurban road networks, as well

with other transport modes, such as

public transport, ports and inland

waterways, are on the agenda. SEE-

ITS will develop an institutional and

technical framework through which

SEE organisations and countries can

harmonise ITS specifications.

On 14 October 2013 the ITS World Congress begins in Tokyo. Known worldwide as a centre of innovation and digital expertise, Tokyo will host the world’s leading ITS experts and industry chiefs under the congress title “Open ITS to the Next”.

by Ian Bearder

This is the 20th anniversary of the

ITS World Congress, and the theme

which focuses on how ITS will affect

future generations, is a tribute to

the importance of ITS both now and

for future generations. As Hiroyuki

Watanabe, Chairman, ITS Japan

explains, these ‘next-generation’

systems ‘will address a variety of

traffic-related issues, including the

environment, energy, safety and

traffic congestion. In addition it will

contribute to enhancing quality of

life while answering society’s need

for accurate and prompt responses

to disasters and other unexpected

events’.

Home to almost 35 million people,

Tokyo is a city which is tackling

these issues head-on, so the high-

tech mega-city provides a perfect

backdrop to this year’s congress.

The ERTICO Partnership and the European Pavillion

Interview with: Akihiro Fujiwara & Yoshinari Shiraishi, FUJITSU TEN

Japan is well known for its advancements in technology and intelligent transport systems with a constant aim to

increase driver and passenger safety.

The country is participating in a number of projects and activities on topics related to connected vehicles in

cooperation with the EU (such as ECOSTAND and Compass4D), whilst a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) was signed

by the European Commission (DG Information Society and Media) and the Road Bureau (Japanese Ministry of Land,

Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) in June 2011.

Amongst the nationwide companies, FUJITSU TEN is one of Japan’s flagship companies in the deployment of ITS,

with a specific policy directed at “ensuring safety, creating a comfortable mobile space and protecting the global

environment”.

This month we take a closer look into FUJITSU TEN’s activities in this field. I had the pleasure of interviewing Akihiro Fujiwara (Vice President of the Technical Centre Nuremberg, FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH) and Yoshinari Shiraishi (Executive Chief Engineer, FUJITSU TEN LIMITED).

This interview is particularly significant for us here at ERTICO as FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH recently became a Partner within ERTICO, joining our broad list of industry suppliers.

Also, in 2012, FUJITSU TEN Europe GmbH together with digital security company, GEMALTO, and ERTICO, launched the first facility for the European emergency number, eCall, testing in Japan. This represents a further step to support global car makers in complying with the new EU emergency response.

A few months ago you joined

the ERTICO Partnership. Can you

tell us why it was important for

FUJITSU TEN to join, what benefits

do you see in this partnership and

what are the European trends in

terms of ITS that interest you the

most?

In the automotive industry, the

connected car will continue to

develop. In response to these changes

and advancements, FUJITSU TEN is

focusing on providing technologies

that encompass ITS support for driving

safety, advanced car telematics

systems and development of more

comfort for our customers.

We are proud to enlarge our expertise

by working as an ERTICO Partner and

to contribute to a better ITS society

in Europe. Finally we expect to boost

cooperative systems for Vehicle-to-

Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure

communication.

What are Fujitsu TEN’s current

activities in the intelligent

transport field?

FUJITSU TEN is developing

and supplying most of the

automotive electronic parts and

systems in the fields of monitoring,

sensing, safety & security and In-

Vehicle Infotainment to a number

of vehicle manufacturers and Tier

1 suppliers, as well as working as a

member of official adviser group of

these communities.

Recently we have introduced the

environmental mid-to long-term

vision based on the FUJITSU Group’s

vision “Green Policy 2020”. We will

promote green mobility by developing

products such as electronic control

units (ECUs) for hybrid and electronic

vehicles’ (HV/EV).

In December 2012 FUJITSU TEN

established the first platform

for eCall experimentation in

Japan. Why did you use a European

initiative?

For us it was vital to launch

an initiative such as eCall in

Europe, where safety is always more

central and advanced than the rest of

the world. The purpose of launching

the platform for experimentation

was to become a trusted hub for

European initiatives. It aimed to

contribute to the fast development

of the “advanced safety system” by

state-of-the-art technology for “lives

saved” and to our saying “inochi-no-

kizuna”.

What interests you the most

about the emergency call

system at a technological and

social level?

There are several technologies

for secure activation and

connection to PSAPs (public-safety

answering point) in the event of

an incident, which could reduce

fatalities on the roads. The cross-

border interoperability testing

activity is also unique and it’s

important to us to keep product

functionality and quality at a high

level.

We are also focusing on the European

eCall Implementation Platform (EeIP)

task force RETRO* with the vision of

ensuring that eCall is widely adopted

across Europe in the existing vehicle

fleet; we think that the aftermarket

device will accelerate the eCall

benefit to a wider society.

This October Tokyo will host

the 20th ITS World Congress of

which Fujitsu TEN is a sponsor, can

you give us some idea as to what

will be presented from your side?

FUJITSU TEN continues to

promote the “vehicle-ICT

business” in the three fields of

“comfort and convenience”, “safety

and security” and “environment”.

At the FUJITSU TEN booth, we will

demonstrate four main scenarios:

• Connected Services on

Telematics Control Unit with

Multi Angle Vision

• Advanced Driver Assistance

Systems

• Millimetre-wave Radar Sensor

• HTML5 based In-Vehicle

Infotainment System

Lastly, we will introduce the HeERO

II project and give an update on the

cooperation with Luxembourg*.
