XECUTIVE UMMARY

The objectives of WP 3 are to critically compare the applied (in SEE) practice for ITS
deployment with the European best practices and policy initiatives for achieving interoperable
ITS implementation. The gap of regional/national ITS architectures with the EU ITS
framework will be documented and communicated to stakeholders of the domain with the
main emphasis on the added value of the integrated traffic management.

This report documents the results of activity 3.1 - Status of current ITS deployment in the
country of Albania. The main objectives of this activity were to collect, present and analyse
the existing or currently under implementation ITS systems and services available in the South
East Europe Countries, specifically Greece, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia,
Italy, Albania and Croatia.

The structure of the report is based on the template prepared by ITS Romania, which was
subsequently agreed by all partners involved in Work Package 3. The information it contains
is compiled based on the filled-in templates submitted by all partners involved in activity 3.1.
