ITS Platform North Denmark: idea, content, and status

摘要

This paper presents the project entitled “ITS Platform North Denmark” which is used as a test platform for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solutions. The platform consists of a newly developed GNSS/GPRS On Board Unit (OBU) to be installed in 500 cars, a backend server and a specially designed digital road map for ITS applications. The platform is freely accessible, which means that third part applications could be run on the platform. It is estimated that using this platform enables the ITS applications to be developed for 20% of the normal cost, hence third party are invited to test their applications in the platform. This paper presents the platform’s potentials and explains a series of test applications which are under development on the platform. Moreover, a number of new projects planned for the platform are demonstrated.
