SCOOP@IdF: Implementation of Cooperative Systems for a Road Operator

M.-C. Esposito    

Resumen

In recent years, connected objects have started to invade our daily lives. In terms of transport, connected cars have been studied through research projects for more than ten years. Car manufacturers are now in a pilot deployment phase of the cooperative systems technologies (C-ITS). The SCOOP@F project is the French national C-ITS pilot deployment project started in March 2014 and being financially supported but the European Commission. Five pilot sites have been identified, amongst them, the national road network of Ile-de-France. This project is lead by the general direction of infrastructure of the French Ministry in charge of Transport and involves car manufacturers, academic institutes and road operators (public or private). In the second part of the project (2016-2018), cross road tests should be undertaken with other countries, such as Spain, Portugal or Austria. A telecom operator will also join the project to test the hybridation of technologies between ITS-G5 and cellular technologies. The SCOOP@IdF project will implement over 300 km of roads (out of 800 km), with about one road side unit every 3 km. A road side unit is the interface between the traffic management system and the vehicles to exchange information using ITS-G5 technology. Given the need to develop specific applications for road operators, it was decided to develop a second-handed ?road operators on-board unit?: about 150 operating vehicles will be equipped as well. Sirius, DiRIF's traffic management system will be adapted to accept the new information from road users and to provide them with in-vehicle information. Many use cases will be implemented in the project SCOOP@F, and consequently in the SCOOP@IdF project: ?data collection: average speeds, automatically or manually declared events from user equipped vehicles; ?road works warnings: operating vehicles will send their position to users around to alert them of their interventions (planned or unplanned); ?road hazard signalling: slippery roads, end of queue, persons/animals/obstacles on the roads, etc. In a second phase of the project (2016-2018), other use cases will be implemented such as, on-board signalling, traffic information (such as travel time or POI information), multimodal information (park and ride availability for example). The first results of this study have underlined that the existing standards usually lack the point of view of the road operator. New versions of the standards need to be published soon for a proper implementation on sites. By spring 2016, prototypes of road side units and on-board units should have been tested and deployments should be imminent. The implementation of cooperative systems needs an important implication of road operators. RSU, as light or small as they can be, need to have energy and need to be connected to the network. There will be operators using the system, affecting their missions. This new technology will bring new information, more precise information, but also new systems and new procedures to deal with them. The article will focus on the impacts on DiRIF organisations and systems, and the implemented methods to deal with them, and evaluate them.
