TN‐ITS  Vision and Mission

Bringing fresher map data to intelligent transport services

Facilitate and foster the exchange of ITS-related spatial road data between

road authorities as trusted data providers, and, data users as map makers and other parties.

Mission

Vision

The TN‐ITS data chain

DataSources Mapmakers

Connected/AutomatedVehicles

Road Authorities publish changes of road data as 

part of their SDI maintenance

Drivers can benefit from up‐to‐date fresh map data in their in‐vehicle system, stand‐alone navigation device or smartphones

Map makers retrieve, verify and integrate these changes in their db and bring this to map users
