The European ITS Framework Architecture is currently being maintained by the EC Funded Project E-FRAME (2008-11), which will extend the Framework Architecture for Cooperative Systems. This project  has also taken over many of the tasks previously undertaken by the FRAME Forum for its duration. For more information, see the initial FACT SHEET on the E-FRAME Project.

The FRAME FORUM will take over ownership of the European ITS Framework Architecture from the European Commission and manage its dissemination and maintenance into the future.

NOTE: a completely new Web Site is currently under development.

Using this website

For general information on ITS Architectures, go to the page ABOUT ITS ARCHITECTURE.  To understand the benefits of using architectures and how to create one, see the brochure Planning a Modern Transport System.

If you are new to transport telematics (Intelligent Transport Systems), have a look first at the leaflet 'What is ITS?' which describes some typical systems being used today.

A growing number of European countries are now adopting the Framework Architecture as the basis for their national ITS architectures. If you wish to know which countries are involved see NATIONAL ITS ARCHITECTURES.

Two important tools - accessible from the page EUROPEAN ITS ARCHITECTURE - have been developed to help you explore and use the Architecture:

• The BROWSING TOOL for navigating the Framework Architecture
   
• The SELECTION TOOL to help create your own ITS Architecture

Full documentation, including technical literature, reports about the European ITS Framework Architecture, can be found in the LIBRARY.
