Goals / Remit
TomTom is a navigation and location services provider. We are interested in Transport policy as this is discussed and decided by the EU Institutions as well as on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and their deployment in Europe. We wish to contribute to the development and enhancement of ITS in Europe as well as its communication protocols (TMC and TPEG) and map- related issues. Autonomous driving and connected cars as well as traffic management and in-car navigation devices and mapping are central to our work. The European Space Strategy and Galileo technology have been recently added to our list of interests with regards to European policy and activities.
Main EU files targeted
TomTom sits on the Supervisory Board of two major ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) Industry Associations: ERTICO-ITS Europe and TISA. From that position we are grateful to have the opportunity to closely follow the initiatives on EU Transport policy. Transport policy, Communication technologies, as well as Space technologies' market uptake are EU initiatives that we try to directly follow developments and be involved.
