Twelve European road operators and authorities have teamed up with the 1690 European Commission in the 7202 EasyWay initiative to foster European harmonisation and interoperability of ITS through a range of projects on common standards and procedures.

The EU’s Ten-T programme will contribute almost US$2.3 million to the initiative, which follows up the on-going European ITS Platform and will continue its activities towards ITS harmonisation across the continent.

The EIP+ project will monitor the EasyWay deployment guidelines, evaluate the impact of ITS projects on a European scale, as well as disseminate best practice among Member States.  

The project will also provide a helpdesk and user support facility to further advance the EasyWay initiative. It is expected to foster international cooperation on ITS, in particular among the ITS works projects funded by the Ten-T Multi-Annual Call 2013.

Germany, Greece, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Sweden and United Kingdom are taking part in this initiative.

The project was selected for EU funding with the assistance of external experts under the TEN-T Multi-Annual Call 2013, priority 'Intelligent Transport Systems'. Its implementation will be monitored by INEA, the European Commission's Innovation and Networks Executive Agency. The project is to be completed by December 2015.
