It works in cooperation with ERTICO Partner Slovak Ministry of Transport, Posts and Communications and other public sector bodies in order to build ITS strategies and norms, as well as participate in EU-funded projects such as CONNECT. Its President is Dr Tibor Schlosser and its Chairman is Dr Svetozár Hegyi, CSc.

The organisation has already contributed to the ITS system architecture for Slovakia and the national strategic plan for ITS, as well as a model solution for a pilot project about ITS applications on Slovak highways.

It also participated in the Network of National ITS Associations meeting in Prague in March 2005 (see below).
