The ITS Testbed study looks into the organisational, technical and legal conditions necessary for an Austrian ITS test environment. For this sake, a test environment is defined as a permanent facility that serves to test ITS systems or components in research, development, market introduction or procurement. Access to the test environment should be nondiscriminatory and open to researchers, developers and providers alike. The primary purpose of the test environment is to promote research and development. The study takes on the operator’s perspective. Potential operators from Austria and experts with experience in operating test environments for intelligent transportation systems were successfully enlisted to author the study. The study is the result of the cooperation of the Austrian key operators and providers of infrastructure.
