2.1.5 WP5000 Demonstration and impact assessment
In order to proof the proper functioning of the system architecture prototype
and to validate the evaluation methodologies developed in PRE-DRIVE C2X a
first assessment was conducted. It helped to identify methodological gaps as
well as technical deficits in time and avoided time consuming bug fixing. Also,
this assessment, that was accompanied by an application of the simulation
tool set developed in the project gives a first impression of the system benefits
that can be expected - one particular outcome was a reliable cost/benefit
estimation accompanied by the description of viable business models - and
delivers valuable data for the design of the test sites if it is decided, that the
prototype system shall be further evaluated in a field operational trial. The
assessment was combined with a system demonstration for interested parties
in order to promote the common European communication architecture and
the planned field trial.
2.1.6 WP6000 Dissemination
The key scope of the dissemination activities was to open the framework of
cooperation to all relevant stakeholders and key partners in the different
European counties to facilitate future market introduction with a high
penetration rate as well as to facilitate future planning of extensive field
operational tests on cooperative systems.
This major aim was achieved via the organization of joint workshops, via the
dissemination of project activities to the whole ICT community, and by
identification of steps to market introduction.
A multi-level web site was created to address specific and detailed materials
to different interested community (the large public and journalists, the ICT
community, all relevant stakeholders that are and will work on the design
development and testing of cooperative systems).
Support material for dissemination like project brochure and newsletters were
also produced and the project participated to all relevant ITS, TRA, IEEE etc.
major congresses and to organized a final workshop to widely disseminate
project results.
Dissemination activities were also targeted to provide specific inputs to the
related standardisation bodies and to continuously exchange relevant
information with all running projects and with other communities in the world.
This was achieved through active contribution to the ongoing ETSI TC ITS
activities by PRE-DRIVE C2X members and participation to the Joint EU(US
Task Force for harmonisation of cooperative systems.
