Abstract

The central objective is to use in-vehicle telematics as a breakthrough technology to improve quality of travel and sustainable traffic and to value the potential of in-car telematics (in the context of an intelligent road-vehicle system in terms of safety, throughput, reliability and environment). The project will address: o The role of the driver and his or her needs and wants of in-vehicle intelligence; a simulation environment including adequate driver modeling as an integral element for designing, predicting and evaluating effects and effectiveness of in-vehicle intelligence; o In-vehicle intelligence, comprising integrated autonomous control and driver assistance systems related to the operational driving task at the navigation, maneuvering and control level on one hand, and related to traffic management and transport efficiency on the other; o The context for the relation between intelligent road-vehicle systems and the road users in terms of motive, destinations, routes, and operational driving or supervisory tasks, as well as the control issues involved. The role of the intelligent vehicle both the potential of a future intelligent road-vehicle system as well as the development path toward it; o The need for hands-on experience through on-road testing of concepts for systems with intelligence levels varying from information, actively supporting and automated systems. The on-road testing of concepts are referred to as "pilots" in this proposal; o The needs of all relevant actors in bringing in-vehicle systems closer to implementation, including industry, government and knowledge institutes, so that issues dealing with traffic and transport modeling and with strategy, policy and regulation as well as technological issues, such as sensing issues (technology and interpretation), inter-vehicle and vehicle-roadside communication, system robustness, reliability and fault tolerance; o A business case example for in-vehicle intelligence. Innovative elements of this project are the : o full partnership among the industrial, governmental and knowledge institutes organizations with tripartite knowledge transfer; o on-hands experience in the real-life, physical laboratory-like implementation of in-vehicle systems and their interaction with advanced traffic monitoring and management applications; o addressing of transition issues of mixing old and new technologies and the confrontation of various - sometimes conflicting- interests of actors; o synergies achieved with existing projects nationally and internationally; o explicitly focusing on implementation issues. Work in intelligent vehicles is of international scope. A large investment project aimed at strengthening the knowledge on the topic of intelligent vehicles in the area of traffic management must be internationally oriented. Dissemination activities will therefore be both national and international. Likewise, the need for international participation, particularly by industrial partners, is crucial to success of laboratories and eventual implementations and thus of the project. Therefore, we expect that international parties will participate in this project. |
