Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems Are Gaining Momentum Worldwide Despite Challenges, Says Frost & Sullivan

Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Cooperative Systems on Thursday, 2 September, 2010 at 4:00pm BST

LONDON, August 25, 2010 - The U.S., Japan and several EU countries are working toward a national,
multi-modal surface transportation system that will establish a connected
transportation environment among vehicles, the infrastructure, and portable
devices. Such a cooperative system is to serve the public good by leveraging
technology in order to maximize driver safety and mobility while improving
environmental performance and focusing more on deployment. However, a number
of challenges, like complex business model issues and cooperation among
different stakeholders must be addressed before the market can reach its full
potential.
