UK CITE Project Overview

• Installation and Trialling

• Over 40 km of new infrastructure – creating a globally unique test bed on public roads

• Mixed road types and speeds up to 70mph

• Testing Functionality, Safety and Convenience

- Both DSRC (ITS-G5), LTE and LTE V

- Wi-Fi services on the move

• USE CASES for Testing

• Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL) – V2V

• Emergency Vehicle Warning (EVW) – V2V and V2X

• Traffic Condition Warning (TCW) – V2V and V2X

• Roadworks Warning (RWW) – X2V

• In Vehicle Information (IVI) – X2V

• Floating Card Data (FCD) – V2X and X2V

The Technology Mix

• The method of communication to and from vehicles is dependent upon the installed technology

• The content of the communication depends on BOTH the installed technology BUT also the information type and urgency

Embedded Modem Receivers Data received directly into car

Smartphone Graphicand Audio transfer

Smartphone Audio Transfer

Safety & Autonomous V2X Communications

Connected Corridors must take into account installed technology, information type and urgency to provide near-term

benefits and long-term solutions

The Equipment

• 4 Vehicles fitted with Visteon multipath OBU (3 JLR 1 Ford)

7

• 55 road side units and antenna installed across the public road network, Gaydonand Visteon

• 30 DSRC dongles installed in JLR management and test vehicles

• 25 android phones with CITE app loaded and trialled using 20 different users

What was achieved?

• 55 DSRC RSUs installed and commissioned and interface with vehicles tested

• Successful transmission of signed DENM messages in line with security access and control policy

• Connection of desperate systems – STRATOS, Halogen, vehicle OBU and CAN, App cloud server, LTE

• Multipath vehicle hardware/software developed

• 6 USE CASES tested on bench, track and road

• Android mobile app developed capable of receiving messages for 5 USE CASES

• LTE/DSRC latency and range comparisons

• User interface/behavioural studies

• Cyber security study and testing

• Baseline traffic models developed and tested for CITE route

• Business case for cost benefit analysis, legal and regulatory and cooperative business models

Challenges?

• ETSI standards open to interpretation

• Infrastructure and commissioning

• Maintaining continuous RSU connection – instability of prototype system

• Interface between different systems

• Approval process for road testing

• Understanding and modelling human behaviour

Working with Local Government and Road Authorities

10

• All parties understand the need for

collaborative work to deliver CAV eco

systems

• HE, CCC and TfWM are very progressive,

forward thinking organisations

• Speed of strategic and financial decisions

suprisingly good

• Good links to EU projects (HE)

• Safety case for approval of testing on HE

roads was too slow

• Lack of definition as to how some features

should work eg. IVI/virtual gantry

Future Considerations for LG and Road Authorities

• Standard message formats

• One safety case approval process aligned with CCAV guidelines

• Don’t deploy technology for technology sake – define the problem that you have then look at what technology can solve it

• Soften the ‘not invented in LG’ attitude and embrace collaboration with all parts of the CAV eco system

• Work to realise the value of the USE CASES

• Accurate mapping of assets

Under normal circumstances,

possibly the worst weather for

an on-road demo!!
