In this paper, we present the value proposition of the SafeTRIP open platform. We then discuss in detail a selection of end to end user services that will be implemented and demonstrated with real users over a prolonged period within the project. These services integrate data from and enable collaboration between authorities, road operators, fleet managers and end-users. To conclude, we present the key benefits for the users of services provided using the SafeTRIP platform. 1- SafeTRIP Satellite-based communication systems for use in homes (4) and cars have been adopted by consumers in many parts of the world. The SafeTRIP project aims to build on this success and utilize a new generation of satellite technology to improve the safety, security and environmental sustainability of road transport. While being open and capable of integrating other communication technologies (such as Ground Networks), SafeTRIP exploits the S-band satellite technology, which is optimized for two-way communication for on-board vehicle units. The S-band communication requires a small antenna making it suitable for the mass market, while existing solutions that use different satellite frequencies (3) demanding larger antennas are less suitable for integration in vehicles or in handheld devices. As part of the SafeTRIP project, an open SafeTRIP platform is being implemented to host services for improved safety and navigation, but also entertainment and advertising to vehicle occupants. During the project, a number of services will be demonstrated, and the platform will remain open and flexible – capable of using alternative communication technologies and integrate with existing and new ITS services.
