Accurate and up-to-date safety related road attributes are needed for various intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications, but the situation throughout Europe is very heterogeneous in this regard. This paper details the objectives of the ROSATTE European project, which intends to define common road safety data formats and set up exchange mechanisms between road network operators and map providers. The first results and the ongoingwork are described. The paper also presents the specific point of view ofFrench motorway companies represented by ASFA in the ROSATTE consortium. Two of them, COFIROUTE and APRR-AREA, offer a test site that is also described here.
