Real-time, Safety-related Traffic Telematics

01.04.2008 - 30.09.2009

Research funding project

The aim of the Real-time Safety-related Traffic Telematics (REALSAFE) project is to tackle the key scientific challenges for scalable, real-time, and dependable Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) telematic system. These challenges are: To estimate the true performance of the V2I wireless link based on WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments), including the non-WSSUS (Wide Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering) behavior of the wireless channel as shown in recent measurements. To develop a distributed service architecture based on autonomous Road-Side Units (RSUs) and evaluate its performance based on realistic telematic data. To investigate effective in-car user interfaces, to derive maximum benefit from the offered V2I services. The structure of the project reflects closely the structure of the V2I system itself. The overall result of the project will be a solid and broad foundation of know-how, necessary for the deployment of future V2I systems. A further goal is to provide a tangible impression of how future real-time safety-related V2I systems will operate and what benefit they will offer in realistic scenarios. Hence, a real-world measurement campaign will be carried out on Austrian motorways, and an interactive driving demonstrator will be designed and implemented within the project.
