The EU-funded InterCor project, which involves France, Netherlands, UK and Belgium, is upgrading existing and new Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) services and testing them along specific ‘corridors’ to ensure interoperability across borders.

Over the next few months, testing will be carried out across all four countries, with the first open Testfest set to take place in the Netherlands from 3-6 July, focusing on ITS-G5 services.

Testfest participants will test state-of-the-art ITS services in real-world conditions on the A16 motorway near Dordrecht. The motorway is equipped with roadside units broadcasting safety -relevant information related to road-works, allowing the on-board units installed in the participants’ cars to alert the drivers of potentially hazardous traffic situations.

The main objective of this event is to validate the international interoperability of ITS equipment from different countries and vendors with the aim of enhancing road safety in Europe.
