HERE completes successful demo of C-ITS system ahead of Finland pilot
October 06 2015 - 6:49AM
HERE has completed a successful initial technology demonstration of
the traffic information system it will pilot in Finland over the
next two years. In a small-scale test conducted on roads in the
Greater Helsinki area, the system performed well in distributing
targeted notifications about road hazards and conditions to
relevant vehicles at low latencies, according to VTT, the Technical
Research Centre of Finland, which carried out a technical
assessment. HERE is now moving onto the next phase of the pilot,
which from Spring 2016 will cover three major highways in southern
Finland. The pilot will be the first C-ITS (cooperative Intelligent
Transportation Systems) deployment based on 4G/LTE mobile networks.
It utilizes standard and commercial networks as well as location
cloud and data analytics from HERE to connect vehicles and traffic
management centers in an intelligent system. The aim is that
drivers can report road hazards and have an increased awareness of
the road, such as where specifically there might be black ice or an
animal on the road, sudden traffic build-up, or an accident. HERE,
which announced in June its selection by the Finnish traffic
agencies to lead the pilot, is working with traffic information
management service company Infotripla in the implementation. This
particular pilot does not require the deployment of any additional
roadside infrastructure, such as DSRC (Dedicated Short Range
Communications) equipment. HERE's approach instead centres on how
standard and commercial mobile networks can underpin C-ITS systems
where data from vehicles and connected road infrastructure could be
gathered, analyzed, enriched and distributed back to vehicles and
infrastructure at sub-second rates. HERE is currently discussing
potential similar solutions in other countries, with potential
adopters also attracted by the easy scalability of the system
across large areas, its interoperability across borders and its
affordability in comparison to many alternative ITS designs. VTT's
technology assessment report can be found on the website of
NordicWay, a public-private collaboration that is exploring how
such technologies could lead to the creation of a C-ITS corridor
across Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

scientist at VTT, on HERE 360.
