After a decade of technological basic research, fact-finding and feasibility studies, C-ITS (co-operative ITS) is picking up speed. The U.S. Department of Transportation as well as the European Commission are about to create legal frameworks that pave the way to co-operated driving or even autonomous driving. Industry is investing into R&I more than ever within this field. Yet, key techniques are still unsolved, such as air link capabilities, standardisation or deployment scenarios.

Sub-topics are:

• eCall (implementation in the Slovak Republic)
• Communication
  • Ad-hoc networks
  • Efficient communication
  • Security & trust
  • Long Term Evolution (LTE) implementation
• Applications (mainly safety related)
• Standardisation – CEN & ETSI
• Localisation
  • Relative positioning
  • Trajectorial analysis
• Local Dynamic Maps (LDM)
  • Static map & dynamic information
