The bundle of European ITS Core services comprises three ITS Service categories of with in total 14 specific ITS Services. The categories are:
- TTIS – Traffic and Travel Information Services,
- TMS – Traffic Management Services and
- F&LS – Freight & Logistic Services.
Whilst TTIS – Traffic and Travel Information services are primarily focused on the end-user as traveller to provide to him pre-trip and on-trip information about the situation during his journey, TMS – Traffic Management Services represent a set of instruments for the road operator to directly influence the driver while driving or, in the case of Traffic Management for Corridors and Networks, to align his traffic behaviour with the overarching strategies of public road operators traffic management.
The F&LS – Freight & Logistic Services represent a special case. Intelligent Truck Parking informs about possible parking spaces at motorways for trucks and Access to Abnormal Goods Transport Regulations is an internet-based tool to register dangerous goods transports.
