MATIS participated on 11 and 12 February 2026 in the C-Roads Platform Symposium in Frankfurt, a major European event dedicated to the deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS).
The C-Roads Platform: a key driver of European harmonisation
The C-Roads Platform brings together more than 20 European states and road operators around a shared objective: deploying secure, reliable and harmonised C-ITS services across the continent.
Its role goes beyond experience-sharing. By producing common specifications openly accessible to third parties, it accelerates innovation and strengthens cooperation between road operators and the automotive industry.
MATIS’s contribution to C-ITS deployment
The first day, on 11 February, set the stage for open exchange. On 12 February, the session dedicated to C-ITS deployment collaborations brought together several European corridors — Verkko, MERIDIAN EU Corridor, C-Roads Germany, C-Roads Austria, X4ITS and SCALE — alongside MATIS.
Alessandra Pipitone Federico, Director of Legal and International Affairs at MATIS, contributed to these exchanges by sharing concrete lessons drawn from the project’s implementation, covering cross-border cooperation and field experience.
C-ITS priorities towards 2035
The day also addressed future harmonisation needs, with contributions from Niels Andersen, Malika Seddi, Onno Tool and Sandro Berndt-Tolzmann on the priority areas for scaling C-ITS services across Europe.
The closing roundtable on C-ITS priorities for 2035, bringing together Geert Van Der Linden, Peter Meckel and Pedro Barradas, put European expectations into perspective across three angles — motorways, cities and the European Commission — with a particular focus on the role of C-ITS in supporting CCAM (Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility) implementation.
MATIS’s participation in this Symposium reflects the recognition of the work carried out by the project in advancing connected and cooperative mobility solutions across Europe.
