Q-Free demonstrates C-ITS in Australia

Q-Free has demonstrated the vehicle location capabilities of its current range of Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) systems in Australia in tests carried out with Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), the transport authority for News South Wales. Q-Free’s systems gave second-by-second positional information on heavy vehicles manoeuvring at intersections. They demonstrated Q-Free’s C-ITS systems’ ability to provide to-the-lane accuracy and open the way to future C-ITS applications where, for example, drivers need to be w

108 Q-Free has demonstrated the vehicle location capabilities of its current range of Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) systems in Australia in tests carried out with 6722 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), the transport authority for News South Wales.


Q-Free’s systems gave second-by-second positional information on heavy vehicles manoeuvring at intersections. They demonstrated Q-Free’s C-ITS systems’ ability to provide to-the-lane accuracy and open the way to future C-ITS applications where, for example, drivers need to be warned of oncoming vehicles turning into a side road in the face of oncoming traffic.

    Satellite-based tolling opens up new options for authorities and can be integrated with DSRC systems as David Crawford discovers. As the proud custodian of the European Union (EU)’s longest road network covered by a single (truck) charging scheme – and the only one to include all major roads - Slovakia has become the continent’s poster-nation for the virtues of GNSS/CN (Global Navigation Satellite System/Cellular Network)-based tolling. It is also proved to be a very fast implementer. Speaking at the 2014 I
