Training for Public Authorities

Among its numerous activities, C-MobILE also carries out the preparation and execution of training programs targeting key personnel in the eight C-MobILE cities and their respective Public Authorities to raise knowledge and understanding of C-ITS applications and to teach the necessary skills for the correct deployment of such technologies. All trainings have been executed by the project’s consortium and are available below with a summary of the training.

Training on C-ITS Services for Road Users and Fleet Operators

As part of the C-MobILE Project, IRU Projects together with other project partners organises local training for fleet operators and drivers (trucks, buses, coaches, taxis, as well as car drivers) to raise awareness and increase knowledge on the use of new Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) services. The training also highlights additional benefits and builds up the necessary skills to embrace these new technologies.

Each training programme includes three modules: theoretical, C-ITS services, and practical; as well as optional additional training and a knowledge test.

The knowledge test and survey on ITS and C-ITS technologies will be carried on after the training is completed to see how the training exercises helped the participants to acquire new knowledge on C-ITS technologies, especially those services available at a deployment site.

Scope and Benefits of C-ITS Training

The training sessions offer an opportunity to learn about several C-ITS services deployed in eight cities and regions involved in the C-MobILE project: Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Newcastle, Thessaloniki, Vigo and the North Brabant region.

These are some of the services that participants will discover during the training sessions:

• Road Works Warning
• Road Hazard Warning
• Emergency Vehicle Warning
• Signal Violation Warning
• Warning System for Pedestrians
• Green Light Optimal Speed Advice
• In-Vehicle Signage
• Emergency Brake Light
• Slow or Stationary Vehicle Warning
• Motorcycle Approaching Indication

Participants will get a look at how these technologies work, their functionalities and how to use them, and will have the opportunity to provide their feedback on what they would like to see improved, including improvements or additional functionalities.

Each training session will be accompanied with videos from real and simulated service tests, showing how C-ITS services can influence the behaviour of all road users, including drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians.

Every participant will experience a combination of C-ITS in real-life traffic conditions, and gain a hands-on understanding of how these technologies can improve traffic flow, travel times, fuel efficiency, comfort, and overall safety for them and for other users.

Additional training provided by IRU and Continental will address the Smart Tachograph, which will be mandatory from 15 June 2019 in newly registered commercial passenger transport vehicles >3.5t carrying more than 9 passengers for more than 50km.  This technology presents various opportunities and challenges for the industry.
