CooperativeMobility

...towards fully connected vehicles and infrastructure

The development of cooperative systems, based on an exchange of information and communication between vehicles and with the road infrastructure, is currently developing rapidly. As the technology evolves, there is a need to streamline and integrate potential cooperative applications within a coherent and open system architecture. This open in-vehicle platform would guarantee interoperability with infrastructure systems and facilities.

Our activities in the CooperativeMobility sector are mainly focussed on:

• Vehicle-to-Vehicle, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication: connect vehicles with each other and link vehicles with nearby roadside equipment and transport infrastructure.
• Cooperative monitoring: provide real-time vehicle-based data about road, traffic and environment status and incidents.
• Cooperative safety applications: provide local hazard alerts, the safe intersection, wrong-way driver warning.
• Cooperative traffic management: use vehicles as “virtual loop detectors”, provide vehicle-traffic control interaction for smooth driving.
