After an initial experimental deployment in the Bordeaux region, the Coopits application will be tested at the national level starting April 26, 2023. The national experimentation of the Coopits application will not cover the entire territory. It will be available on the road networks of DIR Atlantique, DiRIF, DIR Est, DIR Ouest, DIR Centre-Est, Sanef, VINCI Autoroutes (excluding Cofiroute at this stage), AREA, and the Bordeaux Metropolis. Throughout the experimentation, new road managers will be gradually added, along with new routes and services on the existing networks.

About Coopits: Coopits is a free road information application developed as part of partnership projects between various road information actors. It aims to integrate into the services offered by Bison Futé. It falls within the framework of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). C-ITS refers to the exchange of information between the infrastructure and the vehicle, and from vehicle to vehicle. The application allows receiving real-time traffic information from road managers to assist driving. It provides information such as the locations and availability of parking spaces or the optimal speed to reach a traffic light when it turns green. Available on Android, it can overlay a pre-installed navigator or operate independently. It is also available in beta testing on iOS but functions independently only.

Designed by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion as part of partnership projects funded 50% by the European Commission, it promotes eco-driving by avoiding waiting at traffic lights and indicating lanes reserved for carpooling or public transport. Its ergonomics have been optimized to avoid causing distraction when displaying information. It is supported by the Directorate of Road Safety due to its significant contributions to road safety.
