On Tuesday 9 – Wednesday 10 October, we held a Consortium Meeting at Dynniq in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. Discussions centred around traffic management, V2X communications, dealing with adaptive cruise control, using the iTETRIS+SUMO+NS-3 integrated simulation platform, setting up feasibility test with real vehicles, and much more. Stay tuned for more updates!
We are happy to announce that Deliverable D4.1 (Overview of Existing and Enhanced Traffic Management Procedures) is available for download in the Deliverables section!
Deliverable D4.1 describes the creation of the next generation of traffic management procedures and protocols that address the presence of autonomous vehicles, as to be deployed in TransAID. We highlight the state-of-the-art of traffic management procedures, focusing on general approaches, the coordination of CAVs, and the impact of machine learning techniques and artificial intelligence. We then outline TransAID’s traffic management framework, positioning ourselves as an intermediary service provider. This encompasses high- and low-level traffic management operations, as well as raising some concerns on the compliance of automated vehicles to traffic laws. Next, the bulk of the report discusses in detail the five selected services and use cases, each time highlighting when, where, and how traffic measures should be applied. In conclusion, we give some further approaches to integrated traffic management, and sketch several general communications requirements for traffic management systems, focusing on the types of messages to be transceived.
Today we published our third newsletter, containing very interesting information related to modelling vehicle automation, driver behaviour, and the definition of V2X message sets.

On 16 May 2018, CERTH presented its assessment of TransAID driver models (ACC and CACC systems) using the microscopic traffic simulation software SUMO (see this post as well); the accompanying paper is now available. Grab your copy here!
TransAID was presented at the Joint Workshop “Transport planning, traffic control and traffic safety – challenges and opportunities”, on 12 July 2018 in Zagreb, Croatia. Dr. Meng Lu from Dynniq talked about “Cooperative & automated road transport for enhanced traffic management“. There were 38 people attending the workshop.
Today we published our second newsletter, containing very interesting information related to the definition of use cases, scenarios, and modelling requirements.

Our colleagues from Hyundai, UMH, and DLR attended the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium (C2C-CC) WG Roadmap Meeting. There, they presented TransAID’s scope and development, with a special emphasis on the different services that TransAID is researching.
Our colleagues from MAPtm and CERTH were present at the 2nd Symposium on Management of Future motorway and urban Traffic Systems (MFTS) in Ispra, Italy. There they presented the current state of the MAVEN project’s use cases, with the broader context of transition of control areas from TransAID. The focus lay on operational design domains, and the reasons for AVs’ disengagements, along with an outlook on planned V2X extensions.
