Title: Cooperative Vehicle Highway Systems: Implications for the Highways Agency
Abstract: Cooperative vehicle-highway systems are designed to exchange information between vehicles (also known as vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (also known as vehicle-to-roadside communication). This 2010 report provides an overview of the developments in cooperative vehicle systems, with an eye to describing how these developments can help the UK Highways Agency assess the benefits and drawbacks of implementing these systems into the road network. The authors note that these cooperative systems not only feature innovative technologies but also require modifications in the strategies that stakeholders (such as road operators, vehicle manufacturers, and service suppliers) use to provide traveler services. Many of the features discussed are gleaned from experiences gained while participating in the European CVIS (Co-operative Vehicle Infrastructure Systems) project. The authors also summarize recent projects and developments in Europe, the USA, and Japan, with a focus on applications and priorities for implementation that may be appropriate for the Highways Agency.
