7th eSafety Forum Plenary Meeting discusses clean and efficient mobility

Creation date: 09 February 2007

Members of the eSafety Forum, a joint platform involving over 150 active members representing all road safety stakeholders that aims to support the development, deployment and use of preventive and active safety systems, will converge in La Hulpe, Belgium on 1 March 2007 for the 7th eSafety Forum Plenary Meeting.

The meeting’s primary focus is on information and communications technologies (ICT) for clean and efficient mobility. The leaders of the eSafety Forum’s newly formed ICT Clean and Efficient Mobility Working Group will be on hand to discuss these key issues. The agenda will also discuss the results of the Eurobarometer study on the citizen's perception of the use of intelligent systems vehicles. The recently adopted Commission recommendation on safe and efficient in-vehicle information and communication systems will also be presented to the Forum. The meeting will be opened with a keynote speech by a high-level representative of the German Presidency.

GST demonstrations
The meeting has been conveniently scheduled in order to allow Forum members to experience the GST Integrated Project’s demonstrations - part of the GST Final Demonstration Workshop - on 28 February.

This will be a unique opportunity to see the GST Open Architecture and pilot services that are paving the way to the future of commercial telematics in Europe. Members of the eSafety Forum will be able to witness the advanced telematics services that will be in the market in the near future and see the practical results of the EU's support to research and development.
