Description & Mission	The main mission and strategy of ITS Czech Republic is to: Contribute to traffic safety in Czech Republic Contribute to the increase of security of critical infrastructure Contribute to the exploitation of ITS toward mobility and environmental improvements  Help the mutual association of companies and other parties interested in ITS in their activities in ITS projects in the Czech Republic Create an environment in the Czech Republic that is favorable to the development of ITS systems and the implementation of ITS technologies Develop business opportunities for its members in the Czech Republic Support research and development in transport Create publications
Main Achievements	ITS Czech Republic has been involved in R&D projects supported by the Czech Ministry of Transport  Systematics, purpose and stage of the road signs in the frame of telematics Telematic system of waterways and water transport Application of traffic logistic approaches in urban and suburban   Its most recent publication: Transport towards the 3rd millennium –Successful stories, ITS opportunities (Czech only)
Current and Future actions	ITS Czech Republic is involved with the "Notices to Skippers" project. The project's objective is develop an information system for administration and distribution messages according to the international standard of the Central Rhine Commission (edition 1.0 – 17/2004) as part of RIS (River Information Systems) implementation on Czech waterways (Telematic system for waterways on LVVC (Elbe-Moldau waterways) project). The system kernel - including databases - is based on the LAVDIS information system and will be able to send actual information about the situation on LVVC and Elbe in Germany. Information will be supplied and guaranteed by certified state organizations. The system should simplify and standardise the notification system for professional and nonprofessional shipping. LAVDIA The main goal of project was to create more effective use of waterways. It aimed to verify and realize not only one unique information system for waterways, but also different components and models for integrating an intelligent information system for rivers and basins. The system was tested and verified as intelligent, information, communication and operator executive.  The integrated and intelligent information system was compiled from set of blocks of tested type modules and subsystems, to continously broaden new functions for respecting new requirements of users and new participants. It also was designed to simplify analogical information systems for all waterways in Czech Republic, and profitably export this system for use in foreign waterways. Study 1: “Optimisation of control system redundancy at tunnels MO Praha” The solution entailed using a range of back-up signals and telematic systems communication lines with regard to components reliability of present control and SCADA systems and elements which operate and monitor these control systems.    Study 2: “Comparative study TIC (Traffic Information Centre) MO and PO Praha” (MO=city circle road, PO= Prague circle road) The study aims to suggest a number of vatiants which will operate in all Prague transport in the next ten years. It relates to urban passenger traffic, urban transit traffic, urban mass traffic, traffic treatment in tunnels and the realtionship with Prague's network of streets - which is complex. The study's difficulty is that many traffic telematic systems operate today in the city, but they mostly work separately or they exchange only minimum information. It hopes to make traffic effective and fully put to use the technical equipment of the current traffic dispatching centre.
