Cooperative ITS Challenges: AUTOCITS Pilot in Lisbon
Cooperative, connected and automated Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) aims to improve road traffic safety, comfort, security, and traffic management by sharing data/information among vehicles, infrastructure and road users. Cooperative ITS (C ITS) also targets the reduction of environmental impact by the road transportation systems. Regarding self driving vehicles, C ITS plays a complementary role for enhancing on board vehicle sensory data and thus making autonomous vehicles more robust and safe. In this paper we present the C ITS platform, the test cases and scenarios to be performed during the Lisbon Pilot of the AUTOCITS project. We also provide a description of the C ITS Day 1 services, as simulated and also real world events, that will be deployed and evaluated during the test cases. Conventional, instrumented and autonomous vehicles will take part on the Lisbon Pilot, all equipped with on board connected vehicular technologies. Two scenarios will be considered, motorway and urban node scenarios, having distinct vehicles and test cases, but all sharing the same C ITS technology framework.
