  Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are technologies that
enable vehicles to communicate with each other and with the road
infrastructure. These innovative technologies enable road users and traffic
managers to share useful information, assisting the coordination of their
actions. During the last years various initiatives providing policy rules for
C-ITS deployment and a large number of projects demonstrating C-ITS
implementation have taken place in Europe and USA. However, the identification
of the status of C-ITS deployment remains ambiguous at binational level. The
purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the European and US
milestones, that have been reached so far in the field of C-ITS, by identifying
and reporting the policy framework, as well as the projects concerning C-ITS
deployment in Europe and USA.
