The LLAMD Euro-Project: Integrated transport telematics in five European cities

The main objective of the European Commission's current DRIVE programme of advanced transport telematics (ATT) is to validate results from DRIVE 1 projects by means of fields trials, or pilot projects. There is a strong emphasis on the integration of ATT applications within pilot projects. The LLAMD (London, Lyon, Amsterdam, Munich and Dublin) Euro-Project, together with its sib-project Margot is playing an important role in investigating aspects of the integration of ATT applications into an Integrated Road Transport Environment (IRTE). London, Lyon, Amsterdam, Munich and Dublin are combining within LLAMD to implement integrated ATT applications; there is a particular emphasis on travel and traffic information. The background and scope of the LLAMD project are described.
