The CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium and the C-Roads Platform have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which enables a close cooperation between the automotive industry, road authorities and road operators for preparing the deployment of initial cooperative ITS services across Europe by 2019.

Short-range wireless communication from vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), based on the ITS-G5 standard represents, together with hybrid communication technologies an essential cornerstone towards safe connected automated driving.

Both partners support the recommendation developed by the 1690 European Commission’s C-ITS Deployment Platform to utilise short range communication in the 5.9 GHz frequency band. In accordance with the European C-ITS strategy  adopted in November 2016, the hybrid communication approach builds on combining short-range ITS-G5 and wide area cellular and broadcast communication.

Interoperability of C-ITS services is a pre-requisite for enabling seamless driver experience while travelling cross-border on European roads, enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and road operators to provide the best support for all traffic situations. Initiatives to achieve this are broadly facilitated by the European Commission and gain additional importance with increasing automation of the vehicles.

    A series of 'driver clinics' is under way across five states, as vehicle manufacturers and the US Government pin their hopes on connected vehicles becoming the next big advance in road safety. Pete Goldin reports. What would a car say if it could talk? Its first words might be: "Here I am". Many vehicles are communicating that very message to each other right now. Admittedly, this is in controlled environments of US Department of Transportation (USDoT) tests, but within the next few years 'connected vehicle
