collaboration
In order to facilitate comprehensive data exchange and provide motorists with the latest information, VM-IVRA collaborates closely with various stakeholders in the data chain, including: road authorities, NDW, service providers, data suppliers, car manufacturers, and logistics service providers. VM-IVRA also maintains regular communication with national bodies such as the National Traffic Management Council, Traffic Centre Netherlands, CROW, the five regional traffic centres, regional tactical traffic management teams (RTTs), and regional data teams (RDTs). Furthermore, we engage with regional accessibility initiatives such as SmartwayZ.NL, Zuid-Holland Bereikbaar, and similar programmes.
opportunities
By leveraging digitization and technology effectively, we can enhance the provision of information to road users. Through collaboration with service providers, road authorities can deliver customized information and provide route guidance along socially preferred routes. This enables road authorities to furnish pertinent information and actionable insights to relevant road users. Moreover, road users can be reached even in areas where physical resources are lacking, as notifications will be displayed in-car.
Exchanging learning experiences
ChatGPTDuring our monthly user meetings, you have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to enhance VM-IVRA services. Additionally, we regularly share learning experiences from both service providers and road authorities through VM-IVRA newsletters and our LinkedIn community. Would you like to contribute your own experiences? Feel free to email us at[email protected].
