North Sea Freight Intelligent Transport Solutions - NS FRITS is set to dramatically improve accessibility for the road freight sector in the seven countries of the North Sea Region by improving safety aswell as efficiency and reducing the risk of accidents and security threats for drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles.
The first project of its kind, NS FRITS will provide live in-cab communications in a series of languages of drivers, transport managers and freight handlers.
The system will help:
improve traffic flow within major transport corridors
address logistical problems around congestion and freight volumes
improve driver safety by highlighting poor weather conditions, road accidents, traffic disruption and local driving conditions
reduce carbon emissions by encouraging better driving and avoiding extensive engine idling times
reduce the risk of security threats, for example through providing information about crime hotspots, secure parking locations and local policing practices
The Interreg IVB North Sea Region Programme is co-funding the groundbreaking €4.9m NS FRITS project; 50% of which is funded from the European Regional Development Fund. A public/private sector partnership drawn from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden provide the remaining 50% of the project costs and bring together representatives from high-tech communications, logistics, crime reduction, education, policing and transport planning.
