COMeSafety2
COMeSafety2 is a 36-month support action helping to coordinate a number of activities towards the deployment of cooperative ITS in Europe, including:
- Update of the European ITS communications architecture, taking into account the findings of European, US and Japanese FOTs, but also going one step further by developing a concept for a cooperative multimodal ITS architecture
- Platform for exchanging tools and methodologies, experiences and test results from FOT initiatives worldwide to allow for informed deployment decisions and a common understanding on the most effective systems for each region
- Needs analysis for further research on cooperative systems as strategic input for the planning of the foreseen European large scale actions in Transport and the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation
- Definition of common EU-US compatible applications for cooperative safety and sustainability, achieved by coordinated FOT testing and targeted towards standardisation
- Support and advance of the European standardisation process, namely on outstanding issues such as homologation and road side station licensing, and also strengthening the links to international standardisation bodies
- Raising awareness among the relevant stakeholders by disseminating information in collaboration with the iMobility Forum, iCar Support and FOT-NET2 initiatives
COMeSafety2 contributes to the CooperativeMobility sector objectives "Vehicle-to-Vehicle, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication" and "Cooperative safety applications".
