ACCELERATING COOPERATIVE SYSTEMS’ DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE GRAND COOPERATIVE DRIVING CHALLENGE

摘要

Cooperative driving systems comprise an important research area. They are considered a promising solution for reducing traffic congestion, reducing environmental impact and improving traffic safety and driver comfort. The key to these systems is the communication and interaction between vehicles and between vehicles and road side infrastructure. The Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge aims to accelerate the development and implementation of cooperative driving systems. The international challenge is an innovative competitive demonstration of cooperative technologies by participants. This paper presents the Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge which includes workshops with stakeholders, a demonstration in 2010 and the first challenge in 2011.
