be effective, d. h. make a tangible contribution to the solution of the key problems facing Europe in the road transport sector (e.g. B. reducing congestion, reducing emissions, increasing energy efficiency, increasing safety, including in particular vulnerable road users);

be cost-effective, d. h. optimise the cost-benefit ratio in order to achieve the objectives pursued;

be proportionate, d. h. provide for a different level of quality of service and introduction, where appropriate, taking into account the specificities at local, regional, national and European level;

promote the continuity of services, d. h. ensure the seamless provision of services across the Union, in particular within the trans-European network and, where possible, at the external borders of the Union, when ITS services are introduced. The continuity of services should be ensured at a level to be adapted to the characteristics of transport networks linking countries with countries and, where appropriate, regions with regions and cities with rural areas;

Create interoperability, d. h. ensure that the systems and business processes underlying them are designed for the exchange of data and the sharing of information and knowledge, so that ITS services can be effectively provided;

maintain backwards compatibility, d. h. ensure that ITS, where appropriate, can be operated in conjunction with existing systems that serve a common purpose without hindering the development of new technologies;

take account of existing national infrastructure and network characteristics, d. h. take account of the inherent differences between transport network characteristics, in particular in terms of traffic volume and road weather,

promote equal access, d. h. they must not hinder or have a discriminatory effect on access to ITS applications and services that are particularly vulnerable to road users;

the technical ripening, d. h. demonstrate the reliability of innovative ITS on the basis of adequate technical development and operational use after an appropriate risk assessment;

to ensure high-quality timing and location; this requires the use of satellite-based infrastructures or other technologies that have a comparable level of precision for ITS applications and services, which are a comprehensive one, require continuous, accurate and guaranteed timing and location;

facilitate intermodality, d. h. where appropriate, the coordination of different modes of transport should be taken into account when ITS are introduced;

maintain coherence, d. h. take account of the current rules, policies and actions of the Union relevant to ITS, in particular in the area of standardisation.
