CVIS How the Connected Vehicle helps Safety,
Mobility and Economic Development

• Knut Evensen
• Connected Vehicle Summit
• 16 April 2009

2
The Question

• Can the connected vehicle support the new schemes
  for road pricing, air quality, fuel use and
  economic recovery?
• Answer lies in flexibility and service level
• End users require their own mix of services no
  standard mix (similar to home Internet access)
• Service suppliers/operators need a flexible and
  rich service scheme with secure business tools
• Authorities and system owners need a reliable
  system that scales and maintain lifecycles 20
  years
• Any solution that fall short of these points is
  likely to fail

EU Co-operative ITS RD

• Some results from CVIS and SAFESPOT
• Connectivity Always on, both locally and
  globally
• Facilities layer Rich set of standard functions
  for lifetime operation
• Local Dynamic Map Location and status awareness
  database of surroundings
• Together they form the technical basis to answer
  the stakeholder requirements

Conclusion

• Innovations for deployable platform
• CALM communications
• Local Dynamic Map
• Common ITS Facilities function set (API)
• Standardisation is paramount
• Avoid fragmentation and non-interoperability
• Global standardisation cooperation from the top
  level and grass-root level is needed

Road site Equipment
DLR operates appr. 1.2 km of an Urban Road
Research Laboratory (Test Track) with sensors,
two gantries and high data rate access via
control cabinets
Control cabinets with air condition, power
supply, data lines and free space for further
equipment
DLR owned gantries with any time access for
mounting sensors
19
Demonstration Vehicles
CVIS rented two transporters with 8 seats for the
M5 demonstrations. Installation effort 2 hours
per car

CVIS Reference Platform

• The reference execution platform in CVIS
  consisting of a CVIS host and a CVIS router.
• The Router platform is controlling the 3G and M5
  communication modules.
• The Host platform hosts the CVIS middleware and
  service provisioning application.

21
Service Provisioning

• Automatic service application provisioning
• Triggered by CALM M5 communication.
• Different provisioning concepts, i.e.. automatic,
  operator driven, and end-user driven, and
  operator driven

M5 Vehicle Antenna

• 5 individual antennas
• 1 DSRC system
• 1 GPS antenna
• 1 2G/3G antenna
• 2 802.11p antennas
• Antenna aluminium base
• Specifications are met
• Vehicle Rooftop Antenna Unit has been designed,
  manufactured, electrically tested and delivered
  to CVIS and Safespot partners

Measured results for 5,9 GHz antenna

CVIS Platform Performance M5/802.11p

• Ranges
• V2V with omni-antenna on 5.9GHz up to 400 meters
• R2V with omni-antenna on 5.9GHz up to 400 meters
  
• R2V with directional antenna on 5.9 GHz up to
  600 meters
• Caveats
• 5.9GHz has a line-of-sight limitation, i.e.
  communication will NOT work around corners unless
  stations are very near each other (lt20meters)
• The values above are best cases. 30-50 less
  performance nominal
• When using the 5.4GHz WLAN band for high-capacity
  file transfer, 30-50 extra nominal reduction due
  to legal power limitations
• More Access Routers may be used to extend range
  of RSU
