Research/Project Description

REPOSIT
RElative POSitioning for collision avoidance sysTems REPOSIT develops a novel concept to prevent accidents through collision avoidance based on Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication. REPOSIT addresses usage of V2V communications and Relative GPS (RGPS) algorithms with existing Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) on Intersection and Longitudinal cases by:

• Enabling RADAR concept as a Warning System in a vehicle
• Modelling and designing V2V communications algorithms, RGPS algorithms and CAS algorithms
• Integrating V2V+RGPS+CAS and extracting simulation results
• Analysing In-Car integration and Product Certification and Standardisation aspects.
  Description of work

The objective of Collision Warning and Avoidances Systems is to help drivers by warning or intervening when the car is on a collision course with another vehicle or with an obstacle. The main aim of these systems is improving traffic safety by preventing mainly collisions but a secondary effect may be also improving efficiency by allowing higher density and increasing road capacity by that. In support to the eSafety initiative for the development, deployment and use of Intelligent Integrated Safety Systems in Europe, REPOSIT has the objective of demonstrating the feasibility of a new technology for CAS: the integration of Relative GPS (RGPS) and wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (v2v) communications with existing Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS). RGPS is based on advanced positioning algorithms allowing a significant relative positioning accuracy enhancement. The use of RGPS involves using wireless v2v communication for data exchange between vehicles.

The performance of these technologies is to be such that the overall combination is translated into an enhancement of CAS performance. REPOSIT will concentrate on Intersection and longitudinal Collisions, where it could provide the most noticeable performance improvements.
