"The present day and age demands rapid adaptation of transport to the exponential growth in its use and in the expectations of society. I think, therefore, that the introduction of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is extremely useful. We should be aware that the current state of affairs in road transport is very worrying. This is illustrated by such statistics as: better integration of the transport infrastructure with vehicles and between vehicles; Europe-wide coordination, making use of the experience and good practices of leading countries. Let us try, therefore, to implement ITS throughout the EU, in relation to all means of transport and all passengers, and with regard to both public and private transport. the number of deaths on the roads in the EU in 2006 was about 43 000, including about 5 500 in Poland; the annual cost of road traffic congestion in the EU is about 1% of GDP; CO emissions caused by road transport amount to about 70% of all transport-related CO emissions. The following are, therefore, necessary: optimal use of road and road traffic data; ensuring continuity and reliability of ITS services in European transport corridors and conurbations; extensive use in large urban areas of telematic applications, which combine transport issues with information technology and telecommunications; rapid and harmonised introduction of applications which support road traffic safety, such as eCall, ADAS and others;"@en1
