Preliminary Remark

„The Deployment Guidelines are subordinated to the Delegated Regulations. The Deployment Guidelines pursue the goal of applying the legally binding Delegated Regulations to the specific ITS services. Table 7 shows the Deployment Guidelines affected by the Delegated Regulations.“

ITS-Core Services affected by European Delegated Regulations:

European Delegated Regulations (EU) No 886/2013 & (EU) No 962/2015 versus TTI & TMS – Core Services in terms of data/information:

 

Background

In 2013 the European Commission adopted the first two Delegated Regulations on the provision of Information by ITS-Services:

• The provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles ((EU) 2013/885)

The Delegated Regulation No 885/2013 classifies „Information for safe and secure parking places for trucks“ as follows:

• • 1. Static data related to the parking areas, including (where applicable)
    • Identification information of parking area (name and address of the truck parking area (limited to 200 characters))
    • Location information of the entry point in the parking area (latitude/longitude) (20 + 20 characters)
    • Primary road identifier1/direction (20 characters/20 characters), and Primary road identifier2/direction (20 characters/20 characters) if same parking accessible from two different roads
    • If needed, the indication of the Exit to be taken (limited to 100 characters)/Distance from primary road (integer 3) km or miles
    • Total number of free parking places for trucks (integer 3)
    • Price and currency of parking places (300 characters)
  • 2. Information on safety and equipment of the parking area
    •  Description of security, safety and service equipment of the parking including national classification if one is applied (500 characters)
    •  Number of parking places for refrigerated goods vehicles (numerical 4 digits)
    •  Information on specific equipment or services for specific goods vehicles and other (300 characters)

Contact information of the parking operator:

• • •  Name and surname (up to 100 characters)
    •  Telephone number (up to 20 characters)
    •  E-mail address (up to 50 characters)
    •  Consent of the operator to make his contact information public (Yes/No)
  • 3. Dynamic data on availability of parking places including whether a parking is: full, closed or number of free places which are available.
• The provision, where possible, of road safety-related minimum universal traffic information free of charge to users ((EU) 2013/886)

The Delegated Regulation No 886/2013 classifies „Safety-Related Traffic Information“ as follows:

• • (a) temporary slippery road
  • (b) animal, people, obstacles, debris on the road
  • (c) unprotected accident area
  • (d) short-term road works
  • (e) reduced visibility
  • (f) wrong-way driver
  • (g) unmanaged blockage of a road
  • (h) exceptional weather conditions.

Two additional Delegated Regulations were adopted in 2015 and 2017 respectively:

• The provision of EU-wide real-time traffic information services ((EU) 2015/962);

The Delegated Regulation No 2105/962 classifies „Real-Time Traffic Information“ as follows:

• • (a) road closures
  • (b) lane closures
  • (c) bridge closures
  • (d) overtaking bans on heavy goods vehicles
  • (e) roadworks
  • (f) accidents and incidents
  • (g) dynamic speed limits
  • (h) direction of travel on reversible lanes
  • (i) poor road conditions
  • (j) temporary traffic management measures
  • (k) variable road user charges and available payment methods
  • (l) availability of parking places
  • (m) availability of delivery areas
  • (n) cost of parking
  • (o) availability of charging points for electric vehicles
  • (p) weather conditions affecting road surface and visibility

Those short-term data need not to be included in digital map updates as they shall not be considered as changes of a permanent nature.

The types of the traffic data include in particular:

• • (a)  traffic volume
  • (b)  speed
  • (c)  location and length of traffic queues
  • (d)  travel times
  • (e)  waiting time at border crossings to non-EU Member States.

• the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services ((EU) 2017/1926).

The Delegated Regulation No 2105/962 classifies „Types of multimodal dynamic travel and traffic data“ as follows:

• • Level of service 1
    • Passing times, trip plans and auxiliary information:
      • (i)  Disruptions (all modes)
      • (ii)  Real-time status information — delays, cancellations, guaranteed connections monitoring (all modes)
      • (iii)  Status of access node features (including dynamic platform information, operational lifts/escalators, closed entrances and exit locations — all scheduled modes)
  • Level of service 2
    • (a)  Passing times, trip plans and auxiliary information (all modes):
      • (i)  Estimated departure and arrival times of services
      • (ii)  Current road link travel times
      • (iii)  Cycling network closures/diversions
    • (b)  Information service:
      • Availability of publicly accessible charging stations for electric vehicles and refuelling points for CNG/LNG, hydrogen, petrol and diesel powered vehicles
    • (c)  Availability check:
      • (i)  Car-sharing availability, bike sharing availability
      • (ii)  Car parking spaces available (on and off-street), parking tariffs, road toll tariffs
  • Level of service 3
    • Trip plans:
    • Future predicted road link travel times
