PRE-DRIVE C2X final event - September 10, 2010

The PRE-DRIVE C2X European project team organised the project´s final event on September 10th, 2010 at Daimler Group Research and Advanced Engineering in Ulm.

Since July 2008, PRE-DRIVE C2X worked on an integrated approach to cooperative systems to prepare for a Europe-wide implementation of vehicular communication technology.

PRE-DRIVE C2X has specified and prototyped a common European C2X communication system. Together withCOMeSafety it transferred the common Europeanarchitecture description into a mutually agreed specification. Based on this specification, a system prototype was realised and validated, which is now ready to be used in field operational trials to assess the impacts of cooperative driving systems.

PRE-DRIVE C2X has analysed all use cases realised by the various known projects in the area of cooperative systems worldwide for their suitability for Europe-wide deployment. The most promising use cases in the areas of road safety, traffic efficiency, infotainment, and business and deployment were set up for live demonstrations. They can be experienced at the event in real traffic scenarios in a number of demonstration vehicles of different brands equipped with the prototype system.

In addition, PRE-DRIVE C2X has developed the necessary tools and methods for evaluating cooperative systems in field operational trials. Those methods and tools were presented together with the results of their initial application to the PRE-DRIVE C2X use cases:

10.30 Key components for field operational tests with cooperative systems

• Integration of hardware and software: a cooperative platform; Massimiliano Lenardi, HITACHI
• Test management tools and test bench; Ilja Radusch, Fraunhofer FOKUS
• Vehicle-to-business communication; Markus Miche, SAP
• Test site selection process and results; Joachim Dehn, Renesas
