Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems for Vulnerable Road Users Safety

Abstract

Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) are one of the flagships of new coming automotive and communication industries. Mobility needs to be safer and more efficient and C-ITS are the key for this new era. On the one hand, organizations like ETSI, IEEE, SAE, 3GPP or ISO are developing the standards for the new technologies and protocols and, on the other, manufacturers and operators are deploying and testing their first pilots. In this paper, we present a pilot developed by a group of stakeholders, in which vehicles will alert drivers of potential collisions with vulnerable road users riding bicycles. It is a multidisciplinary project where there are different architecture components: C-ITS stations integrated in vehicles, vehicles provided with digital cockpits that show warning messages to the driver, low-cost C-ITS stations attached to bicycles which are equipped with a high precision location system based on the fusion of different information sources as GPS, inertial sensors and Ultra Wide Band ranging and finally communication between C-ITS stations is provided by a network that supports low delay C-V2X communications with a Multi-access Edge Computing which takes routing decisions.

5G-enabled V2X communications for vulnerable road users safety applications: a review

“…Kalman filter has been used in [70] to estimate vehicles trajectory to predict future collision and in [81] for pedestrians' motion prediction. In [54], the bikes send periodically CAM messages that will be exploited to estimate high localization accuracy. They developed a hybrid pilot to perform a high-precision localization system based on the fusion of different information sources.…”

Impact of Safety Message Generation Rules on the Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users

“…Nevertheless, the need for line-of-sight (LoS) restricts the proper operation of the sensing devices in the passive approach. Moreover, because the LoS condition cannot be ensured in all situations, the passive approach is unsuitable for several safety use cases, as previously pointed out by many authors [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Consequently, cooperative communication-based approaches, called cooperative intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS), have emerged as a suitable alternative.…”

Am Ende der Straße: totale Sicherheit

“…der Routenplanung berücksichtigt werden. Zudem lernen automatisierte und vernetzte Fahrsysteme voneinander(Casademont et al 2019). So wäre es möglich, dass automatisierte und vernetzte Fahrzeuge eines Herstellers, eines Verkehrsträgers oder das Verkehrssystem als Ganzes Schritt für Schritt optimiert werden würden.…”
