What a stimulating week for transport and mobility! Several events have taken place with exciting developments and thought-provoking discussions, and we are thrilled to see #DFRS as part of the conversation. Joost VANTOMME (ERTICO - ITS Europe), our esteemed General Assembly Chair, has been a true DFRS ambassador, presenting our platform at both the Transport Research Arena Conference (TRA) and the EUCAD Symposium 2024 (#EUCAD2024) in Dublin. Starting with Transport Research Arena (TRA), Joost moderated a session on Transport Data Sharing, highlighting the inefficiencies caused by outdated systems and fragmented information flow. He presented the DFRS data ecosystem as a shining example of successful data sharing for Safety-Related Traffic Information (#SRTI) through a powerful public-private partnership. At the #EUCAD2024 Symposium, Joost moderated a session focused on upgrading Europe's road network to pave the way for self-driving cars, smooth connections and more sustainable transport systems, presenting DFRS as an example of effective data sharing. His active participation and the prominent role of DFRS in these critical discussions demonstrate the importance of collaboration to unlock innovation in transportation. We're excited to see DFRS continue to be a driving force in shaping a safer and more efficient future for mobility! #DFRS #Collaboration #Datasharing #mobilitydataspace #TakingITS #TRA2024
