ICT research in Co-operative Systems will deliver advanced, reliable, fast and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication for new functionalities, real-time traffic management and new levels of support to active safety systems in vehicles and to the driver. By combining technologies such as accurate positioning and improved sensor networking, research is expected to lead towards “zero-accident” scenarios. An increasing number of vehicles with ICT-links to the transport infrastructure will make it possible to optimise traffic management at large scale.
