PRE-DRIVE C2X 9/29/2010
1 Management summary
Based on the overall description of a common European architecture for an
inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication system defined by
COMeSafety, PRE-DRIVE C2X has developed a detailed system specification
and a functionally verified prototype. This is robust enough to be used for
future field operational trials of cooperative systems. Furthermore, PRE-
DRIVE C2X developed an integrated simulation model for cooperative
systems, which, for the first time, enables a holistic approach for estimation of
the expected benefits in terms of safety, efficiency and environment. This work
was accompanied by the development of tools and methods necessary for
functional verification and testing of cooperative systems in laboratory
environment, on test tracks and on real roads in the framework of field
operational trials. In the project these were applied to the PRE-DRIVE C2X
prototype system in order to verify its proper functioning and to perform a first
impact assessment. Last but not least extensive dissemination activities were
conducted in order to communicate the benefits of cooperative systems
technology to the public and to address all relevant European stakeholder.
This included participation to the relevant European standardisation activities
such as ETSI TC ITS or the respective working groups of the Car 2 Car-
Communication Consortium C2C-CC.
This report gives an overview on the work done and the results achieved in
the two project years. It can be considered as a summary of the various
deliverables prepared in the project life time.
