Imagine if cars, traffic lights, and pedestrians all spoke the same language in real-time to prevent accidents. This project builds a digital safety net using various wireless signals to make sure vehicles never lose connection. It creates a digital twin of the road so cars know exactly what is happening around every corner.
Connected vehicles often suffer from unreliable connectivity and data gaps, which prevents higher levels of automation and endangers vulnerable road users.
A three-layered PDI reference architecture and a hybrid MEC/cloud data management environment. It includes new C-ITS messages and updated RSU/OBU designs for digital twins.
If you are an OEM dealing with connectivity drops in urban areas — this project developed a multi-connectivity approach using 5G, mmWave, and WiFi that ensures reliability and redundancy for automated driving.
If you are a city manager dealing with pedestrian safety in traffic — this project developed a system for integrating Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) into the digital infrastructure to reduce collisions.
If you are a network provider dealing with high latency in traffic data — this project developed a hybrid MEC and cloud-based data management environment to enable real-time analytics.
Based on available project data, the specific commercial pricing is not provided, though the EU contributed EUR 8,999,889 to the development phase.
Yes, the project is validated in 3 Living Labs across Germany, Italy, and Spain, covering both urban and highway configurations.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves a consortium of 28 partners including 16 industry players.
The project focuses on standardized C-ITS messages and backward compatibility with previous connected infrastructure architectures.
It uses a three-layered reference architecture that integrates with existing road signs, traffic lights, and communication networks.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 16 industrial partners representing 57% of the 28 total members. This high ratio, combined with 5 SMEs and partners from 8 different European countries, suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and cross-border interoperability rather than purely academic research.
