AMSTERDAM HOSTS THE WORLD’S FIRST AND LARGEST EVENT DEDICATED TO VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS AND COOPERATIVE MOBILITY
Amsterdam, 21 January 2010 - A world-class showcase of innovative vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technologies will be held in and around Amsterdam from 23 to 26 March 2010. This Cooperative Mobility Showcase 2010 will feature the final results of the three major European integrated projects COOPERS, CVIS and SAFESPOT, co- financed by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme for Research. The showcase is organised in association with Intertraffic Amsterdam 2010, the world’s leading exhibition for infrastructure, ITS traffic management, safety and parking.
During the Cooperative Mobility Showcase 2010 in Amsterdam leading European companies and researchers will show the benefits of connecting smart vehicles with intelligent infrastructure, at a ground-breaking showcase on cooperative mobility, the next-generation solution to quicker, safer, more efficient and cleaner transport.
Groundbreaking innovations
Leading industry and service organisations such as Daimler, the Fiat Research Centre, Renault, Volvo Technology, Logica, Mizar Automazione, Peek Traffic, PTV, Q-Free, TomTom (Teleatlas) and Vodafone will show the benefits of connecting smart vehicles with each other and with intelligent infrastructure.
Delegates will see, hear and experience the very latest developments in cooperative ITS, such as the cooperative intersection, intelligent routing, hazard & incident warning and frontal collision warning; how cooperative mobility contributes to quicker, safer and cleaner transport; and future visions of cooperative mobility: roadmaps to widespread deployment and market growth, and how international deployment barriers can be overcome.

The conference presents three days of inspiring presentations, challenging debates and high-level discussions and is co-organised by the European Commission, the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, the leading cooperative mobility projects COOPERS, CVIS and SAFESPOT, as well as Amsterdam RAI.
After many years of research and testing, the final results of the three European projects COOPERS, SAFESPOT and CVIS will be presented at the live on-road demonstrations. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to experience hands-on, in numerous demonstrator cars on the public road and a test track, the new techniques in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.demonstrationsLive on-road
