Deployment Guidelines 2012

The main scope of EasyWay is to improve the situation on European roads, concerning safety, mobility and environmental impact, by deploying harmonised ITS services for the European traveller and haulier. As European cohesion and coordination should be guaranteed in the ITS deployment, considerable efforts have to be made on the establishment of a common framework for this deployment.

The key tool in this process is the implementation and use of common Deployment Guidelines for coordinated deployment activities in countries, regions and Europe-wide. During the first phase, EasyWay through European Studies has developed a range of Deployment Guidelines to foster best practices in Europe. Within the second phase of EasyWay, partners have launched a substantial enhancement process for the first generation of EasyWay Deployment Guidelines. Now the first draft of the 2012 versions of the Deployment Guidelines is available and ready for the formal Member State consultation and external stakeholder participation process. A short overview of the available 2012 Deployment Guidelines can be found here.

The timeline for the formal Member State consultation and external stakeholder participation process is highlighted briefly in the following list. More information to the process and the specific phases can be found in the explaining documents within below packages.
