The CVIS Integrated Project will develop and integrate the essential basic and enabling technologies such as a multi-channel communications and network platform readily adaptable for both vehicle and roadside, a highly accurate positioning and local map module, and an open software environment for applications. Combined into a “CVIS platform” unit, these components will allow a vehicle to share urgent information with nearby vehicles, and to dialogue with both the immediate roadside infrastructure and with infrastructure operators and service providers. New tools for “cooperative monitoring” will both deliver real-time traffic information over the entire road network, and augment the information available to local control functions such as intersection controllers.
The CVIS project will develop, demonstrate and assess at test sites in 6 countries, selected reference applications of cooperative systems in the urban and inter-urban environments, and for freight & fleet and public transport management. The results will be a library of basic service components and functions, for in-vehicle and roadside implementation, to be used for shaping cooperation in a flexible way. Both core technologies and generic application services will use open standards for maximum interoperability and ready take-up into products attractive for the individual, profitable for the manufacturer and effective for the infrastructure operator. Members of the CVIS team play an active role in global standardisation for mobile communications, and it is intended that the results of the project will form a major input to validating and finalising the CALM standards in ISO. |
