IMobility Challenge is a 24 months project aimed at demonstrating, promoting and boosting the deployment of ICT systems for efficient and sustainable mobility. One of the project’s goal is to highlight both off the shelf products that just been launched in the market and emerging technologies addressed by current research. Under the scope of the project, the ‘’Mapping of products and services’’ study aims to bring consolidated information about the availability of products and services based on Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems that exist in the market and are offered by ITS stakeholders. There were three methods used to investigate what kind of products and services exist in the domain of Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems. The following methods were identified in the document: a) Literature Study on Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems, b) Internet-based research data collection and c) Internet-based survey. First, a literature study on existing reports by standardisation bodies, deliverables and studies by EC research projects, reports and manifestos by major ITS stakeholders and EC regulations was carried out. Second, an Internet-based research data collection on the availability of products and services that exist in the market was carried out. A collection and analysis of press releases from companies, articles and market forecast reports were used to grasp the future market demand and supply of connected car market services, as well as identifying the leading technologies and the specialist companies. Third, an online internet-based survey was sent to the following stakeholder groups: iMobility Forum, ERTICO partners, 600 members of the i-Mobility Network, iMobility Challenge partners including (CLEPA, ACEA), and EC project consortiums (MOBINET, Compass4D, eComove). It can be concluded, taken out into account the results of the connected car market outlook and the questionnaire analysis that the applications which are currently mapped are those related to eCall, real-time and traffic information (infotainment and entertainment functions), navigations services and the fuel efficient route choice (only for Electric vehicles). In addition, the forming of joint ventures and strategic alliances could be seen as an important element in the connected car market. There is a whole range of partnership structuring options that exist over the entire value creation process for both suppliers and OEMs. Finally, with advent of the connected car concept and the Cloud Computing, there is also a tendency for diversification and bundling of services or products currently being offered by the companies which are driven away from the traditional types of services, due to economies of scale.
