Modern mobility is facing increasingly complex challenges, such as traffic congestion, high greenhouse gas emissions, a growing number of road accidents, and the ineffective delivery of existing high-quality information to road users. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) offer a comprehensive technological solution that enables advanced connectivity between vehicles, infrastructure, and various participants in the transport ecosystem, while providing timely and context-aware information about current traffic conditions. These solutions rely on diverse communication protocols, supported by security mechanisms and standards that ensure reliable and interoperable data exchange. In Slovenia, the field of C-ITS is actively developing through a variety of projects, initiatives, and infrastructure upgrades. Key developments include the establishment of a national C-ITS node, National Access Point, and digital tools such as the Promet+ and SiMO mobile applications, which provide users with real-time traffic information and support for multimodal journey planning. C-ITS holds significant potential to enhance road safety, traffic flow, and the sustainable management of mobility, especially when fully integrated into existing systems and supported through coordinated collaboration across all entities involved in the mobility ecosystem.
