Objectives
PRE-DRIVE C2X’ main goal was twofold: The first goal was to specify and prototype a common European C2X communication system. The other goal was to develop the necessary tools for operating a field operational trial with cooperative systems on a European level and comprehensive assessment of the impacts.
PRE-DRIVE C2X stands for:
- the successful test and demonstration of a commonly agreed prototype for a European vehicular communication system based on the COMeSafety architecture description
- the prototypical implementation of the most promising use cases for a European C2X communication system
- an integrated simulation toolset for development and holistic assessment of the impact of cooperative systems technology
- the tools for economic assessment of vehicular communication technology and descriptions of viable implementation scenarios and business models.
Results
Evolution of safe and sustainable mobility
Main achievements are:
- specification and prototypical implementation of a European architecture for cooperative systems based on COMeSafety architecture description
- realisation of hardware and software components robust enough for testing in field operational trials
- proving system interoperability with demonstration vehicles and radio modules from different partners
- development and verification of tools and procedures for field operational testing
- realisation of an integrated simulation toolset to assess safety, traffic and environmental impact of C2X communication technology and to upscale the results to the European level
- description of viable business models and implementation strategies for cooperative systems technology in Europe
Furthermore, PRE-DRIVE C2X is actively contributing to all relevant European standardisation activities in the field of ITS to push forward the implementation of vehicular communication technology in Europe.
Next step
The next step is to perform extensive field trials to quantitatively assess the impact of the PRE-DRIVE C2X use cases on traffic safety, efficiency and environment, to achieve consensus of potential users and the commitment of the relevant stakeholders.
