The Steering Committee for the “MATIS: Mediterranean- Atlantic Transport Intelligent Systems” project met on March 31st and April 1st at the premises of the Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes (IMT) in Lisbon, Portugal, to examine the initiative’s implementation process, analyse the current situation and decide on the next steps, amongst other matters. In addition, technical visits were made to Lusoponte and the Autoestradas de Portugal Traffic Control Centre, part of the Grupo Brisa, all the organisations mentioned being partners of MATIS and hosts of the meeting.

During the event, an evaluation workshop was also held, featuring a round-table discussion in which other projects from the Mediterranean-Atlantic corridor took part. In this regard, the initiative aims to promote the implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) within the aforementioned area.

MATIS will run until 2027 and involves a consortium formed by 11 public and private entities and 30 affiliated entities dependent on them with competencies in road traffic management from France, Portugal, Italy and Spain.

The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) promotes this initiative through its Connecting Europe Facilities (CEF) program. IRTIC is in charge of coordinating the group of beneficiaries in Spain, composed of ABERTIS, AUTEMA, AUSOL and the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT). In addition, AUCAT and Castellana de Autopistas participate as affiliated entities of ABERTIS.
