Hermann Meyer, CEO, ERTICO - ITS Europe, said on behalf of his
colleagues from the 2012 ITS Video Competition Expert Committee,

deployment of ITS, and thus contributing to safer, cleaner and more
efficient travel. ITS offers real solutions now to today's travel
challenges - we should use every medium and opportunity to reflect
this".
The 2012 ITS Video Competition encourages the effective use of
videos to reach out to citizens and policy makers showing the
potential and need of ITS to create a better future with less
accidents, fewer fatalities and injured people, less congestion,
cleaner and more comfortable mobility.

videos submitted by companies, universities, public authorities and
other organisation in the two categories - videos directed at the

to produce three finalists in each category. The finalists will be

About the ITS World Congress
To share knowledge and experience within the ITS community is seen
as a must in the development and implementation of ITS
technologies. In that regard, European and World Congresses provide
the ideal opportunity for all players of the ITS world to come
together and make the necessary contacts to help move initiatives
forward. Over the years, they have also received the highest
support throughout the ITS world from government, industry and
other organisations.
ERTICO - ITS Europe, ITS America and ITS Asia-Pacific work together
closely in the preparation of the annual ITS World Congress and
Exhibition attracting over 8000 people. Each year the event takes
place in a different region, and it is held in Europe every third
year. Valuable support is also provided by the host region,
including by the national ITS association of the country. European
ITS Congresses that bring together over 1500 people are organised
by ERTICO - ITS Europe in years when there is not an ITS World
Congress in Europe. In 2012, the World ITS Congress will take place
in Vienna, Austria from 22 to 26 October.
