Vehicle automation in cooperation with V2I and nomadic devices communication

Introduction of wireless vehicular communication allows for cooperation between vehicles and infrastructure, thus enabling a variety of new ITS use cases [1]. Furthermore, modern vehicles feature an increasing number of driving automation functions. In this paper a complex test scenario including automated driving, environment perception, communication with the infrastructure (Vehicle to Infrastructure, V2I) and with nomadic devices is described. Based on this, the requirements for a cooperative and automated ITS are identified. In order to demonstrate the test scenario, an integrated ITS design is proposed assembling Vehicle Technology and Communication Technologies with the Traffic Infrastructure and Nomadic Devices. This has been implemented in a prototype for evaluation in February 2011.
