ITS Station Experimentations in Real Test Tracks

Automated road or highway and advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) are two important issues on transport research. The goal is to prevent accidents by developing safety applications and also to make available services such as information dissemination about points of interest. An essential part of these Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) researches is vehicular communications including Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications. IFSTTAR (French institute of science and technology for transport, development and networks), dedicated for vehicles and roads of the future, has the ambition to create an international testbed to evaluate driving assistance devices and roadside equipment.
