2 Objectives
2.1 Promotion of ITS domain in Romania
ITS represents and important way to improve transport systems in an intensive manner. For this
reason harmonised development of ITS in Romania as well as sustainable development of transport systems
are the main objectives of ITS Romania (NGO).
2.2 ITS Actions & National ITS Action Plan
ITS Romania is collaborating actively with National Transport Authorities and Ministry of transport
and infrastructure to pave the way for new ITS actions at national, regional and local levels to reach the main
objectives: National ITS Strategy and deployment of ITS projects based on National ITS Action Plan
(correlated with European ITS Directives and European Action Plans).
2.3 Research, innovation & education
ITS Romania is actively involved in educational activities (courses, master programs) as well as in
research and innovation. One main way to promote ITS is to educate people and to develop human resources
in the field of ITS. The educational process is supported by research activities and ITS Romania led and leads
national research projects. Innovation in ITS and transport systems is also an objective of ITS Romania and
the creativity expressed in new systems, technologies and products could be an important step in ITS
development in Romania.
2.4 National & international ITS events
The best way to promote ITS domain is to organise events and to participate actively in ITS public
actions. ITS Romania is organising International ITS Conference in Romania and also participate every year in
all major international ITS events (ITS world and European congresses, technical and scientific conferences
and specific ITS events).
2.5 Networking
2.5.1 Industry
All major actors from ITS domain are invited under ITS Romania platform to exchange knowledge and
information for better society and life. The results of this implication are workshops, fora and round tables on
ITS and new technologies.
2.5.2 Research and innovation
The main forces for progress and smart transport systems are research and innovation. ITS Romania
was established the first research network on ITS in Romania and it is involved as link between researchers
and research institutions at national and European levels.

the A1 motorway.
• There will be 1 node with 2 VMSs and traffic monitoring equipment
The monitoring is made from the same centre for the A1 motorway.
9. 9
4.2 HeERO
HeERO addresses the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call service "eCall" based on 112, the
common European Emergency number. The in-vehicle eCall is an emergency call generated either manually
by vehicle occupants or automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors. When activated, the in-vehicle
eCall system will establish a voice connection directly with the relevant PSAP (Public Safety Answering
Point), this being either a public or a private eCall emergency centre operating under the regulation and/or
authorisation of a public body. At the same time, a minimum set of incident data (MSD) will be sent to the
PSAP operator receiving the voice call. The eCall service will use the common European standards defined by
ETSI and CEN.
Romaniaintends to develop a fully functional eCall service to be implemented in the existing 112
system.
During three years (January 2011 to December 2013), the nine European countries forming the HeERO
consortium will carry out the start-up of an interoperable and harmonised 112 based in-vehicle emergency
call system.
All the partners are sharing the same high-level objective: prepare the local e112 eCall infrastructure
necessary for the provision of a sustainable eCall service for the European citizens and share their
experiences with the other EU Members and Associated States.
The eCall system will help achieving the EU's objective to decrease the number of severe road injuries
and fatalities to 50%. The project is partially funded by the European Commission under the ICT PSP
programme.
4.2.1 HeERO Consortium
The HeERO Consortium is composed of ERTICO - European Road Transport telematics
Implementation (Coordination Organisation as Project Coordinator), EENA - European Emergency Number
Association ( Project Dissemination Leader) and representatives from 9 European countries:
Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden.
The Romanian Consortium is composed of:
• ITS Romania (National ITS Organisation)
• STS (PSAP Operator)
• RCMNR (Road Operator)
• UTI Systems (Technology Provider)
• URA (Expert Organisation)
• ELSOL (Engineering and consultancy)
4.2.2 Major objectives
Define operational and functional requirements needed to upgrade all eCall related service-chain
parts (PSAPs-integrated rescue systems, telecommunication-112/E112, etc.) to handle eCall
• Implement available Pan-European eCall related European standards
• Implement needed technical and operational infrastructure upgrades
• Identify possible use of eCall system for public and/or private value-added services
• Produce the training materials for the eCall operators
• Assess certification procedures related to the eCall services equipment in liaison with CEN Project
Team

4.3 EasyWay 2
EasyWay is a project for Europe-wide ITS deployment on main TERN corridors driven by national road
authorities and operators with associated partners including the automotive industry, telecom operators and
public transport stakeholders. It sets clear targets, identifies the set of necessary ITS European services to
deploy (Traveller Information, Traffic Management and Freight and Logistic Services) and is an efficient
platform that allows the European mobility stakeholders to achieve a coordinated and combined deployment
of these pan-European services.
EasyWay incorporates all current Euro Regions and facilitates the integration of new Member States
and new areas such as the Baltic countries, Greece and Southern Italy. It reinforces the cooperation between
the existing participating countries by providing a new integrated framework with clear objectives and
reporting.
4.3.1 EasyWay objectives
ITS are very effective in mitigating the negative effects of transport in Europe. To achieve a really
good grip on the effects of ITS, it is necessary to put the European road user at the centre of the perspective.
The White Paper, to which the EasyWay Programme is linked, sets targets for 2020 to make a positive impact
on traffic flow, traffic safety and the environment. The EasyWay programme activities stretch over a seven-
year period, from 2007 until 2013, but set the targets for 2020 similar to the White Paper. To promote future
creativity, more ambitious targets are set for future years according to the experiences gained by the
Swedish “Vision Zero” and the Hessian “Zero Congestion Vision” and will be transferred to a European scale.
The targets for EasyWay are therefore projected for the year 2020.

Directive 2005/44/EC on harmonised river information services (RIS) on inland waterways in the
Community) in Romania;
• Defining Romania’s specific solutions to implement additional RIS services, with emphasis on cross-
border data exchange and calamity abatement;
• Defining and testing the concept of data exchange between national RIS centers;
• The achievement, together with the beneficiary, of a platform for monitoring, disaster warning and
reporting for the Danube – Black Sea Canal;
• Defining the potential danger area for navigating through the canal.
4.5 RoRIS - Consulting for River Information Services in Romania
The RoRIS system for inland waterways – has the goal of implementing a traffic management and
information system for ships covering the entire Danube-Black Sea Canal and the Poarta Alba-Midia
Navodari Canal. The system will provide an operational data exchange with the RoRIS – Danube system and
will be structured on 3 levels:
• local base stations
• a regional center at Agigea Central Dispach
• the interface with the National RoRIS Center
4.6 IRIS EUROPE 2 - Tehnical consulting for pilot system

River Information Services (RIS) – Concept, technical specifications, supervising and advanced services
River Information Services (RIS) are harmonized information services that support traffic
and transport management in inland navigation, including interfaces with other transport modes.
In order to compete with, or complement, as part of a transport chain - transport modes like road
and rail, traffic management in inland navigation has to provide additional services to allow for an
optimisation of the traffic flow and to increase the transparency of cargo flows. RIS can provide
value added services like Navigational Support, Voyage Planning, Lock Management and Calamity
Abatement. They also play a crucial role in Logistics Management of the transport chain and can
contribute to the creation of an international paperless sailing environment.
