What Sort of Communication Is Needed? –
Questions Answered So Far / Done Deals
Results of the various research projects on Car-to-X (C2X) communications:
•
Short-range communication technology (based on ITS-G5A IEEE 802.11 (European
profile) in 5.875 GHz to 5.905 GHz frequency range) can work well in vehicle
environments
•
Low network acquisition time (under 100 msecs)
•
Fast transaction times (on the order of 100 msecs)
•
Priority mechanisms for safety applications installed
•
Spectral crowding/interference minimized through dedicated spectrum
•
Communications range (about 300 m) can support envisioned safety applications
•
Methods for geo-addressing are available
•
Existing infrastructure can be effectively interfaced with roadside units
•
The breadth/applicability of applications based in this technology is better understood

Open Questions / Issues
To test and validate technologies and functions for car-to-infrastructure and
car-to-car communications in a setup that is representative for a realistic
deployment environment.
To evaluate the effectiveness and benefits that can be gained by applications
and services enabled by car-to-infrastructure and car-to-car communications.
To gather sufficient information to support a deployment decision for a
country-wide (if not cross-border-wide in case of Europe) introduction of carto-infrastructure and car-to-car communications technologies.
A large scale field operational trial (FOT) is needed to answer these questions.
SIM-TD provides this FOT and is the next necessary step to prepare for an
informed deployment decision for cooperative systems.

Topics of SIM-TD
1. Demonstration and evaluation of the effectiveness of
applications in three categories
Mobility / traffic management
Safety / hazard warning
Additional / commercial services
2. Further refinement and validation of technologies/systems
for C2X communication developed in recent years.
3. Prototypical setup of a communication network
Integration of traffic management centers / traffic agencies via
car-to-infrastructure communication (RSUs), networking of
RSUs and servers
Setup of a hybrid system: Cellular radio (e.g., GSM/UMTS) as
baseline, short-range communication technology (based on
ITS-G5A IEEE 802.11) to enable real-time operation.
C2I communication
4. Prototype car communication unit (CCU) and roadside
unit (RSU)
5. Assess deployment strategies and models for operation of
C2X communication, economic implications

Summary and Conclusion
SIM-TD is worldwide the first field operational trial that is
large enough to
•
test and validate technologies and systems for C2X
communication in a real-life environment that exceeds
the demonstrator status,
•
to examine the entire spectrum of applications with
regard to the effects on traffic safety and efficiency, and
•
to assess operating models and introduction scenarios.
SIM-TD is the next necessary step to prepare for an
informed deployment decision
