The growing implementation of information- and communication technology in the industries and the society create new opportunities for the transport industry, e.g. in the form of better information and services to transport users, better co-ordination and more cost-effective use of resources. Adequately implemented ICT may reduce costs of person and freight transport. The objective of joint activities will be to prepare for a professional exploitation of these opportunities and to facilitate the different actors in developing effective solutions. This will require a common terminology, a common overall framework, and a broad co-operation between the transport industries, authorities, education/research institutions, consulting, system experts and –suppliers.
