History

The organization was founded in 1992 by members of the European Commission, ministries of transport and European industry.[2][5]

IERTICO-ITS Europe promotes an open framework for telematics services and specific standards in various countries.[6][7]

The ERTICO Partners and ERTICO team promote development and deployment of ITS across Europe and beyond.[8] ERTICO is one of the main organizers of the World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems.[9]

Intelligent mobility enables all modes of transport to communicate with one another, so travelers have access to information needed to make their travel choices. Under the auspices of ERTICO's "Telematics Forum" the existing telematics standards GATS (Global Automotive Telematics Standard) and ACP (Application Communication Protocol) were merged into the new XML-based one called GTP (Global Telematics Protocol) in 2003.
