Purpose and goal
This project has served to increase the knowledge and skillset of AstaZero in the area of connectivity in general and WLAN-based communication to and from vehicles in particular. The purpose was to prepare AstaZero to better serve both its clients and researchers within the field of the connected transport system.
Expected results and effects
The project has completed demonstrations of information exchange with short-range communication technology and cellular technology. A VRU warning app for cellular phones was developed, and this may be a permanent feature in the future for protecting humans at AstaZero’s test track. The network control functionality developed is expected to be very useful in both future research and client projects.
Planned approach and implementation
number of roadside units and onboard units have been procured and used in experiments, both at the AstaZero test track and in open traffic, in the city of Gothenburg, rural roads, and on the E4 highway. In collaboration with Halmstad University, a system was developed for tracking vulnerable road users (VRUs) and sending warnings to equipped vehicles. Furthermore, the project has developed interfaces for steering specific features of the networks, both 802.11p and cellular, with the intention of facilitating interesting future connectivity tests, both for research and clients.
