GST Structure

GST is a so-called “Integrated Project” or programme of interdependent activities, aiming to structure European research in the field of telematics.

It consists of seven sub-projects and seven test sites that work together towards a common purpose. In addition, a set of horizontal activities aim at a high level of integration inside GST.

Sub-Projects and Test Sites

Sub-projects are active in the two first phases of GST, defining requirements and specifications, and in the last phase of validation. The seven sub-projects include: 

• Four technology-oriented sub-projects: Open Systems, Certification, Service Payment and Security
  
• Three service-oriented sub-projects: Rescue, Enhanced Floating Car Data and Safety Channel

Test sites will be active in later stages of the project, at which technology and services specified in the sub-projects will be developed and tested. The seven test sites are Aachen-Rüsselsheim, Gothenburg, London, Munich, Paris, Stuttgart and Torino.
