The Current Trends in Navigation

In this article, I briefly present the perspectives of realizing multimodal intelligent transport in Europe. The main criteria that the European directives in the field of transport have in mind are: ecological and energy efficient transport, traffic decongestion, safety and security of the transport of people and goods, as well as a good interoperability management of the different modes of transport (road, rail, maritime and air). The advantages and positive effects are presented when implementing telematics systems and Intelligent Transport Systems, interconnected for all types of transport, supported by data hubs, based on data standards in a standardized exchange format through standardized interfaces, and some electronic channels for transmitting information.
