Intelligent mobility enables all modes of transport to communicate with one another, whereby travelers have easy access to all relevant information needed to make their travel choices. The association represents the interests and expertise of over 100 active partners involved in a wide range of funded research projects and other cooperative efforts to come up with sustainable solutions for safer, smarter and more efficient transport solutions.
