8. TollOperator TISP TCC VMS TPEG VMS Project Vision

9. TollOperator TISP TCC TPEG Long Term Vision

10. What does the vision mean in practical terms? For Road Operators • Send VMS content into the vehicle, reinforce impact of dynamic traffic information, diversion advice and driving regulation (speed, lanes) • Access data from probe vehicles (event triggered FCD / XFCD), reduce costs for road sensors (e.g. induction loops, cameras) • Ultimately aim for a ‘virtual’ VMS, reduce necessity of steel gantries and costs For Road Safety • Faster exchange of safety related information from I2V • Precise and situation related real time information improves safety of driving • Identification of violations For Traffic Management • Precise dynamic advice, related to traffic, weather and road infrastructure status • Faster response in emergency situations and improved reaction from TCC

11. Information Services S1. Accident/incident warning S2. Weather condition warning S3. Roadworks information S4. Lane utilization information S5. In-vehicle variable speed limit information S6. Traffic congestion warning S7. ISA with links to infrastructure S8. International service handover S9. Road charging to influence demand S10. Route navigation – estimated journey time S11. Route navigation – recommended next link S12. Route navigation – automatic road map update

12. Driving simulator results • Mean speed - Fog • more than 90 % of drivers reacted to the warning • reduced their driving speed up to 14 % after a warning Read: at 500 m distance average speed (90 km/h with system on – 110 km/h with system off)

13. I2V Communication • Broadcast Media • DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) • DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast Handheld) • Cellular Communication Media • GPRS (2.5G Cellular Networks) • WiMAX (Metropolitan Area Networks) • Short-range Communication media • Infrared (CALM IR) • Microwave (5.9GHz)

14. DAB, GPRS GPRS, WiMAX DAB, DVB-H, CALM IR GPRS GPRS COOPERS - Test Sites Focus on user behaviour and acceptance: – changes in user compliance rate – effects on traffic flow and safety – physiological effects / driver distraction and stress

15. I2V Communication in Berlin Technical Specification for Section Stations (TLS) SOAP-XML / FTP Interfaces according TLS2002 specification FG1: traffic data - short/long term, single vehicle data FG3: environment data - brightness, weather FG4: data of displays - variable message signs, switching status, …

Sub Centers auf BAB A100 Tunnel Tegel Airport Tunnel Tegel City Centre VBA A100 Nord (AD Charlottenburg) VBA A100 West (AVUS, AD Funkturm) VBA A100 S ü d (AD Wilmersdorf) VBA Tunnel Ortsteil Britz (AD Neuk ö lln) VBA A113 (bis AD Walterdorf) UZ dWiSta - panels A100 Online Traffic Data in Berlin • Traffic Management Centre (VMZ) provides information about the current traffic situation from various sources and of various qualities (e.g. VKRZ Berlin, VRZ Stolpe) • Sensors along the city motorway deliver continuous measurements of traffic status variables, the transmitted values are averaged over 1 to 5 minutes intervals • about 460 radar detectors • 124 induction loops • 68 Traffic Eye® Universal (TEU) • 5 meteorological stations • Information on current status of Variable Message Signs (VMS) of different manufacturers (e.g. SIEMENS or Dambach) • About 72 bridges • Event based messages from TMC and INCO (Information system on roadworks) providing information about accidents, traffic jams, roadworks, etc.

17. COOPERS at Broadcast, Berlin • Transmitter for DAB-Transmission • Public broadcaster rbbRundfunk Berlin Brandenburg • DAB channel 8C • Covering the whole city • Data Characteristics • 32 kBits • Transparent streaming service • COOPERS Service Generation in the FIRST laboratory • Broadcast Characteristics • Multiple services in one channel • Individual bandwidth and robustness configuration per service • Reception of all services in parallel possible • Ideal for one content to many users in one direction • No limitation of number of users • No relevant speed limitation even at highest speed on motorways

18. COOPERS at Roadside, e.g. Austria • CALM-IR Transceiver & CALM-M5 (WLAN) hotspots (short-range communication) • Situated on the A12 in Tyrol from km72 at Ampass extending to km52 at Vomp (length: ~ 20 km) • One transceiver covers one lane, placed centered above the lane • maximum lateral deviation: 1m, recommended installation height: 6 meters • Transceivers require a front-fire position at the passing traffic • Most gantries will cover the first lane. Additional infrared installation for a second lane is provided on 3-5 selected gantries to ensure proper testing of lane specific COOPERS service messages 18 01.04.2014

21. before after Perceived Usefulness

22. Intention to Use

23. How to implement cooperative traffic management on European motorways? • Role and competences of road operators change • perceive traffic management as integral service • provide service quality rather than road infrastructure • requirement to inform on network traffic status • In-vehicle traffic management information is a key part of co-operative systems and operators are willing to invest • Deployment to push X2X communication standards by motorway operators • For dangerous scenarios simulator study has confirmed the validity of concept • No interference with existing VMS or tolling equipment • High sensitivity to liability issues • Difficulty to negotiate service level agreements • Current system design for V2I & I2V communication looks promising, but needs systematic validation!
