EADIS is a two year international initiative funded by Leonardo Da Vinci UK. It involves five European design-related educational institutions who have developed a Vehicle Telematics Road Map. The map acts as the basis for an internationally available online training programme that shares knowledge about telematics and its innovative and appropriate application. This programme is highly targeted and ranges from defining concepts and terminology to exploring the challenges and opportunities for application including issues such as interface and usability from a social, ethical and technological perspective, and with particular emphasis upon developing sustainability and policy awareness.
