The Netherlands’ Beter Benutten programme is focused on ITS deployment and smart mobility.
This year, as visitors to Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 will learn, Beter Benutten ITS wants to start deploying a road user messaging system that enables information to be gathered, processed and then distributed to the relevant road-users with quality, accuracy and at sub-second delivery rates.
Furthermore, the Ministry is conducting several ITS programmes and projects areas such as supermarket logistics, incident and event management, connected and cooperative ITS (shock wave mitigation), travel information services, setting of new standards and use of open parking data.
Sharing risks and benefits
Within Beter Benutten, government and public authorities are not buying, but are supporting private investment and deployment, bringing private and public shareholders together, sharing risks and benefits. Behind the Beter Benutten-projects, which have a total public investment of 70 million euros in the next three years, are smartphones, computer clouds, fast telecommunication techniques delivering fast data exchange, new services in support of user behavior and experience.
