COOPERS plans to connect vehicles on the motorway to the road infrastructure via continuous wireless data communication. It will provide vehicles and drivers with real-time safety related information of the current traffic infrastructure status which is location-based. COOPERS develops vehicle to infrastructure communication (V2I) with vehicles used as floating sensors to collect traffic or/and road condition data to enable Co-operative Traffic Management. The information and messages provided to the driver are safety relevant for his way ahead. Within the COOPERS project the following safety relevant Information Services are defined : Accident/Incident Warning (drivers are warned on an accident/incident ahead). Weather Condition Warning (drivers are made aware of environmental related problems ahead e.g. black-ice, fog, heavy rain, storm). Roadwork Information Lane Utilization Information (drivers are made aware of the lane control policy applied and the lane utilisation information). In-Vehicle Variable Speed Limit Information Traffic Congestion Warning. Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) with Infrastructure Link (in comparison to the In- Vehicle Variable Speed Limit Information the motorway-operator-provided information must be very accurate and a continuous communication between infrastructure and vehicle must be provided). The objective of COOPERS is to reduce the development gap between the vehicles and the infrastructure side of cooperative systems by dealing with the infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) communication to achieve cooperative traffic management of motorways. In autumn 2008 COOPERS goes on the road - the system will be tested across European motorways. The selected test sites are heavily used TREN motorway corridors. The test distance will be around a minimum of 30 km or/and equipped with bidirectional communication link covering all lanes and with a minimum of 10 gantries. The demonstration will show real events (e.g. speed profile, road works) and during the demonstration each single gantry along the test-track will be addressed.
