CACC Field Operational Test 2018 Noord Holland; cooperative and automated driving for intelligent traffic signal corridors

A Field-Operational-Test (FOT) with CACC vehicles and wireless communication with intelligent intersections on arterial roads was performed in autumn 2018, initiated by the Province of Noord-Holland in The Netherlands. The goal of the pilot was to demonstrate the feasibility of CACC platooning and V2I/I2V (infrastructure-to-vehicle) communication and investigate the potential effects on traffic flow and safety in such an urban environment. During the pilot, seven CACC-enabled vehicles traversed a provincial road corridor, crossing five intelligent intersections, sending Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) and receiving time-to-green information from Intelligent Traffic Signals (iTS).

2018年秋季，荷兰北荷兰省发起了一项在主干道上开展的现场运行试验（Field-Operational-Test, FOT），试验涉及搭载协同自适应巡航控制（Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, CACC）的车辆，且车辆可与智能交叉口开展无线通信。该试点项目旨在验证CACC车队编队以及V2I（车到基础设施，Vehicle-to-Infrastructure）/I2V（基础设施到车辆，Infrastructure-to-Vehicle）通信的可行性，并探究此类城市环境中该技术对交通流与交通安全的潜在影响。试点期间，7辆搭载CACC系统的车辆行经一条省级道路走廊，途经5个智能交叉口，可发送协同感知消息（Cooperative Awareness Message, CAM），并从智能交通信号机（Intelligent Traffic Signals, iTS）获取绿灯倒计时信息。
