Description

Auto-translated from German

For connected, highly automated, and in the future autonomous driving, communication between vehicles, but especially between traffic infrastructure and vehicles, plays an essential role. At the international level, cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) with corresponding services have been specified and harmonized for this purpose. Initial applications of these services, such as the prioritization of emergency vehicles and public transport vehicles (ÖPNV), are already being increasingly implemented today. The information exchange in direct communication takes place between so-called On Board Units (OBU) in vehicles and Road Side Units (RSU) on the part of the traffic infrastructure, primarily at traffic light systems (LSA). The intended research project focuses on the information sent by RSUs at LSAs regarding node topology in the form of the MAPEM message (Map extended Message) and signal status in the form of a SPATEM message (Signal Phase and Timing extended Message). The goal of this research project is to support the harmonized use of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) at traffic light systems. To this end, a nationwide overview of implementations already carried out is to be created. Furthermore, despite extensive guidelines, specifications, and standards, there are still numerous topics whose practical implementability can be further supported by additional recommendations and an easily accessible presentation. Within the scope of the project, such gaps are to be closed by concisely prepared, compact, and visually appealing guidelines. These include, for example, aspects of harmonizing the planning and supply process, a collection of best practice examples, recommendations on operational topics and the maintenance of C-ITS messages and components in operation, as well as information on data protection and the European trust space (PKI - usage).
