Initial deployment of wireless Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication based on the ETSI ITS-G5 standard (IEEE 802.11p) will start next year in Europe. For enabling next innovations towards cooperative automated driving, the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium has established a dedicated working group on functional safety in December 2017. During the CAR 2 CAR Week in March 2018 the new functional safety group aligns its work programme with the other technical…

The deployment of ITS-G5 (a.k.a. IEEE 802.11p and pWLAN) has already started and several vehicle manufacturers are in their commercialization phases, where VW has officially announced its launch of pWLAN in 2019. Renault and PSA will equip 1000 vehicles each with 802.11p technology within the pre-deployment project SCOOP@F already at the end of 2017. Further, PSA’s and Renault’s approach uses two frequency channels out of the three existing ones in the 5.875-5.905 GHz band. In the near term, a…

The CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium and the C-Roads Platform have just signed a Memorandum of Understanding for enabling a close cooperation between the automotive industry, road authorities, and road operators for preparing the deployment of initial cooperative ITS services across Europe by 2019. Short-range wireless communication from Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) – based on the ITS-G5 standard (IEEE 802.11p) – represents together with hybrid communication…

The European Commission has recently published the European Strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) – an important milestone for realising cooperative and automated mobility on European roads. The CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium (C2C-CC) strongly supports this strategy, highlighting a hybrid communication approach for transmitting C-ITS messages using both direct vehicle communication (V2X ITS-G5 technology) as well as mobile radio communication. All research and…

In the light of recent developments in the project landscape for automated driving, the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium seeks to deploy wireless Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication based on the ITS-G5 standard (IEEE 802.11p). The vehicle manufacturers unabatedly see ITS-G5 as essential cornerstone towards safe connected automated driving, and strongly support the recommendation developed by the European Commission’s C-ITS Deployment Platform to use this…

The 16 vehicle manufacturers organised in the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium adhere to their agreement to jointly bring cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems and Services to the European market. In discussion with international stakeholders, the Consortium addresses open issues for the earliest possible production and deployment of Vehicle-to-X communication systems based on the European and US market standards: ETSI ITS-G5 and IEEE 802.11p (WLANp), respectively. Intelligent Transport…

About 2.000 visitors of the ITS World Congress will these days experience a driving demonstration showing mobility of the future. On a 15 kilometres route around Vienna they are invited to find out first-hand how cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (C-ITS) contribute to traffic safety and efficiency. The demonstration is jointly organised by the European automotive industry within the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium and the Austrian Testfeld Telematik Consortium.

Rund 2.000 Besucher des ITS Weltkongresses können in diesen Tagen in einer Fahrdemonstration die Mobilität der Zukunft erfahren. Auf einer 15 Kilometer langen Route rund um Wien erleben sie, wie kooperative Intelligente Transport-Systeme und -Dienste (C-ITS) zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit und -effizienz beitragen. Die Fahrdemonstration wird gemeinschaftlich vom europäischen CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium – einem Zusammenschluss von Automobilher-stellern und Zulieferern – und dem…

The twelve vehicle manufacturers organised in the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium are signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to commonly bring cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (C-ITS) onto European roads. Herewith they approve to follow a joint guideline to make traffic and transport even safer, more sustainable and more comfortable in the near future.

Wie Intelligente Transportsysteme das Fahren auf europäischen Straßen in naher Zukunft sicherer, umweltfreundlicher und effizienter machen, zeigt eine gemeinsame Fahrdemonstration im Rahmen des diesjährigen ITS Weltkongresses vom 22. bis 26. Oktober 2012 in Wien.
