Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are being deployed in many countries to solve many problems arising in transport such as safety, efficiency, pollution or  economic costs. A number of technological advances make these systems viable such as increasing computer power or decreasing sensors costs. Communication and information sharing rose quickly in the last decades and we now see the possibility to couple all these systems, giving birth to cooperative systems. This talk will explain some features of these cooperative intelligent transportation systems. They are good candidates for our future but will be accepted only if their social impact is positive and if it is seen as positive (not Big Brother like). After all, their goals are social, not purely technical, so we have to consider various aspects.

Short Bio: Arnaud de La Fortelle got a PhD degree from Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées prepared at INRIA on theoretical properties of probability distributions (large deviations). He becomes director of the joint research unit LaRA (the automated road) between INRIA and Mines ParisTech in 2006. He moves to Mines ParisTech in 2006 where he becomes director of the Robotics Lab (CAOR) in 2008. During that period, he investigates communications for cooperative systems and the architecture needed in distributed systems. While keeping some fundamental research in probability theory, his main topic of interest is now cooperative systems (data distribution, control, mathematical certification) and their applications (e.g. Cybercars, collective taxis). He served the Board of Directors of  IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society 2010-2012 and is currently vice-president of the French ANR Sustainable Transports and Mobility evaluation committee. He is also ParisTech's coordinator of the Peugeot PSA – ParisTech collaboration.
