HERE completes successful demo of C-ITS system ahead of Finland pilot
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Berlin, Germany - HERE has completed a successful initial technology
demonstration of the traffic information system it will pilot in Finland over
the next two years.
In a small-scale test conducted on roads in the Greater Helsinki area, the
system performed well in distributing targeted notifications about road hazards
and conditions to relevant vehicles at low latencies, according to VTT, the
Technical Research Centre of Finland, which carried out a technical assessment.
HERE is now moving onto the next phase of the pilot, which from Spring 2016 will
cover three major highways in southern Finland.
The pilot will be the first C-ITS (cooperative Intelligent Transportation
Systems) deployment based on 4G/LTE mobile networks. It utilizes standard and
commercial networks as well as location cloud and data analytics from HERE to
connect vehicles and traffic management centers in an intelligent system. The
aim is that drivers can report road hazards and have an increased awareness of
the road, such as where specifically there might be black ice or an animal on
the road, sudden traffic build-up, or an accident. HERE, which announced in June
its selection by the Finnish traffic agencies to lead the pilot, is working with
traffic information management service company Infotripla in the implementation.
This particular pilot does not require the deployment of any additional roadside
infrastructure, such as DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) equipment.
HERE's approach instead centres on how standard and commercial mobile networks
can underpin C-ITS systems where data from vehicles and connected road
infrastructure could be gathered, analyzed, enriched and distributed back to
vehicles and infrastructure at sub-second rates.
HERE is currently discussing potential similar solutions in other countries,
with potential adopters also attracted by the easy scalability of the system
across large areas, its interoperability across borders and its affordability in
comparison to many alternative ITS designs.
VTT's technology assessment report can be found on the website of NordicWay, a
public-private collaboration that is exploring how such technologies could lead
to the creation of a C-ITS corridor across Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
