14:00 – 17:00 Workshop: Cooperative ITS: The Developing Paradigm for Transport Management

Vehicle to vehicle infrastructure communication is an emerging technological framework that aims for direct data transmission between vehicles and road infrastructure using wireless communication. Data from vehicles may include speed, position, destination and occupancy and data from infrastructure may encompass congestion, controller status and routing information

Discussion Points:

• Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Using Vehicle to Vehicle Infrastructure Communication
• Safety: Collision mitigation, Intelligent speed adaptation
• Freeway management: congestion mitigation
• Dynamic road pricing
• An insight into V2I technologies available for traffic management systems
