Whereas successfully introduced active safety systems like ESP consider the vehicle as a physical system which locally interacts with the road, this approach is not sufficient to prevent typical urban accidents. These accidents are usually not caused by a partial or complete loss of physical control, but by wrong decisions which are executed under complete control over the car. In the urban environment there is a plenty of interactions between vehicles and the road infrastructure. Some typical city accidents can be avoided if the driver's situational awareness can be improved by assistance systems. The scope of the Car2x project which resulted from cooperation between automotive safety suppliers and organizations in the Bavarian part of the Region FrankfurtRhineMain was to create a driving assistance system kit which is based on wireless communication between the vehicle and the road infrastructure. It can be extended for future uses. The development started in November of 2005, the first mile stone including the base system and one pilot application was running in the laboratory in February of 2006 and was presented after the integration into a car to the public in April of 2006.
