• 1,500 members of public to participate in pilot
• C-ITS technology makes traffic safer and more sustainable

Vienna/Dublin, March 19, 2024 – Ireland’s NIMS (Network Intelligence and
Management System) initiative is launching a C-ITS pilot project to
increase traffic safety.
Since January 2024, C-ITS is fully integrated into the operational Traffic
Management solution NIMS providing information to roadusers in realtime.
As part of this project, 1,500 members of the public will participate in
the pilot, offering them a unique opportunity to experience C-ITS
(Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) of Kapsch TrafficCom
firsthand. C-ITS allows the exchange of data between vehicles,
infrastructure and authorities.
Spanning the M50 and M1 motorways in Dublin, the deployment aims to convey
crucial notifications regarding collisions, congestion, roadworks, and
adverse weather conditions directly to drivers through in-vehicle screens.
This initiative not only showcases the potential of technological
integration in improving road safety but also plays a crucial role in
evaluating the effectiveness of C-ITS in real-world settings.
 “Our mission is clear: to revolutionize Ireland’s motorway network
through the integration of C-ITS technology,” explains Carolin Treichl,
EVP EMENA at Kapsch TrafficCom. She continues: “This program facilitates
real-time communication between vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and
traffic control centers, enabling the instantaneous transmission of vital
safety information to motorists.”
This initiative, supported by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and
the Irish Government, represents a significant step forward in enhancing
road safety and efficiency through advanced communication technology.
“The value of this technology is that it empowers motorists to make real
time decisions so they can better plan their journey to avoid things like
road collisions, broken down vehicles causing obstruction or congestion
and ultimately improve road safety for all road users,” said Minister of
State with Responsibility for Road Safety Jack Chambers.
The NIMS project, of which Kapsch TrafficCom is a part since 2020, has a
financial scope in the low double-digit million range.
