In the transport system of the future, and before the full integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs), mixed traffic conditions involving both AVs and human-driven vehicles will coexist. In these transitional phases, traffic management strategies should be able to adapt to all users’ requirements and their effectiveness will be essential to maintain traffic flow and safety. Such TMS may refer to vehicle platooning—where AVs and human-driven vehicles travel in close, coordinated formations— or dynamic lane reversal strategies – where a specific part of the road changes its use based on the dynamic demand. This need is particularly crucial during non-recurrent events on the network, such as roadworks, accidents, and temporary lane closures.
FRODDO will develop new approaches improving security V2V communications
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications can be extremely useful in improving the safety of all road users. Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility approaches, such as those promoted by the CCAM consortium, allow the data received from on-board vehicle sensors to be complemented with information from vehicles outside the range of the sensors, thus improving the perception of ADAS systems and their ability to react promptly to dangerous conditions and prevent damage.
