Launch of the SpeedAlert Forum

Date: 08 December 2005

The EC DG TREN co-funded SpeedAlert project (May 2004 - June 2005) organises a workshop on 31 January 2006 at the ERTICO office in Brussels. The SpeedAlert project has confirmed the promising benefits of in-vehicle speed limit information and warning systems to road safety and mobility. It has also shown the value of a large consensus among all key stakeholders from public and private sectors. The main objectives of the SpeedAlert Forum are to be a discussion platform open to all actors, to support and to promote research, and to market take-up initiatives relevant to in-vehicle speed alert applications.

This will be achieved through a liaison with related activities at European and national levels and the organisation of dedicated workshops and demonstrations. This SpeedAlert Forum workshop will be the first one of its kind after the closure of the SpeedAlert project and the Forum is looking forward to continue to work together with all relevant stakeholders according to the deployment roadmap and associated recommendations developed by the SpeedAlert project.

Starting with presentations on EC initiatives and related research activities as well as commercial applications entering the market, the workshop will then address high priority issues for speed alert deployment, such as speed limit data collection, access and update, and business cases.
