DIRECTIVE (EU) 2023/2661 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 22 November 2023

amending Directive 2010/40/EU on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

 

(1)

The Commission’s communication of 9 December 2020 entitled ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy – putting European transport on track for the future’ (‘the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy’) identifies the deployment of intelligent transport systems (‘ITS’) as a key action for achieving connected and automated multimodal mobility, and therefore contributing to the transformation of the European transport system in order to achieve the objective of efficient, safe, sustainable, smart and resilient mobility. This complements the actions announced under the flagship strategy on the greening of freight transport to foster multimodal logistics. The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy also announced for 2022 a revision of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1926 (3) to include mandatory accessibility of dynamic datasets, as well as an assessment of the need for regulatory action on rights and duties of multimodal digital service providers together with an initiative on ticketing, including rail ticketing. This Directive should ensure that ITS applications in the field of road transport enable seamless integration with other modes of transport, such as rail or active mobility, thus facilitating a shift to those modes whenever possible, to improve efficiency and accessibility.

 

(2)

The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy confirms the objective of bringing the death toll for all modes of transport in the Union close to zero by 2050. Several actions in the scope of Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) contribute to the safety of road users, such as eCall, road safety-related traffic information services and information services concerning safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles, as certified in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012 (5).

 

(3)

The communication of the Commission of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’ highlights the increasing role of automated and connected multimodal mobility, together with smart traffic management systems enabled by digitalisation, and the objective of supporting new sustainable transport and mobility services that can improve mobility, reduce congestion and pollution, especially in urban areas, and foster the transition to cleaner modes of transport by promoting modal shift and better traffic management. To support this evolution, consideration of appropriate technical screening criteria within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) (also known as the taxonomy regulation) to support investments in ITS may be warranted.

 

(4)

The growing need to make better use of data in making transport chains more sustainable, secure, efficient and resilient, calls for enhanced coordination of the ITS framework with other initiatives aimed at harmonising and facilitating data sharing in the mobility, transport and...
