The 3rd ITSS-IP Steering Group focussed on the imminent launch of the Future Intelligent Transport Systems (FITS) initiative, but also tried to “keep the plates spinning” on the shorter-term activities associated with telematics and road-pricing and keep the parallel programmes coordinated.
The Steering Group was pleased to hear that DfT had allocated an additional £3M to contribute into the FITS programme and that the details of the process for the competition were now almost agreed – quite some undertaking when we have three different contributing parties (DTI, EPSRC and DfT) each with their own priorities and standard practices.
