Abstract:The European Conference of Ministers of Transport has endeavoured to determine the main lines of the policies called for in order to apply the new information technologies for the provision of road traffic information, and the council’s annual session of 27 May 1994 approved a number of resolutions concerning the legal, administrative, technical and financial issues arising in connection with interoperable systems in this sphere in Europe. The conference's ad hoc TCT group and ERTJCO asked Mr. Jean-Pierre Camus and Mr. Max Fortin to conduct a survey of authorities responsible for road traffic management and the manufacturers of driver information equipment and, accordingly, they prepared a "tool box" and an explanatory guide whose validity they then established by sending a questionnaire to all ECMT member countries and members of ERTJCO and by meeting representatives of a number of countries to discuss their replies the survey essentially had two aims: first, to ensure that the government departments responsible for highways and road traffic were aware of the implications of the new information technologies and associated services; secondly, to obtain initial information about the aims and objectives of these departments as regards: their role as central government regulator, and the context envisaged; the direct role that these departments intend to play; co-ordination of the roles of central, local and regional authorities; the partnership between the public and private sectors; legal and financial issues.
