Research/Project Description

COVER Semantic driven cooperative vehicle infrastructure systems for advanced eSafety applications:
The project’s main focus will be on cooperation between the infrastructure and vehicles in order to support the driver and the vehicle to perform certain traffic related actions and increase infrastructure efficiency. In particular, the project will be engaged in the development of applications such as intelligent speed adaptation, including static, temporary and dynamic speed limits and cooperative early information that are shared in real time among vehicles and infrastructures.

COVER will demonstrate different use cases of its vehicle – infrastructure cooperation platform through the organisation of two project field trials. These trials will be carried out in one Finnish corridor over E18 mainly devoted to professional (truck) drivers, and one motorway segment (Turin-Florence) in Italy, addressing non-professional drivers.
