Resumen
Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (also known as V2X) can augment vehicle perception, which is a key factor in Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) as well as in the future scenario of Automated Driving. The European project AutoNet2030 demonstrates how the combination of V2X and on-board sensors makes vehicle control, manoeuvring negotiations and interaction between vehicles more efficient and reliable. The target driving scenario involves a group of vehicles moving in a coordinated way, thanks to vehicle-to-vehicle communication. This requires a novel set of messages, to transmit vehicle status, trajectories and manoeuver intentions, such as lane change, within the group. Another research topic is the interaction between the on-board system and the driver (Human Machine Interaction, HMI), considering both the novel manoeuvre coordination concepts, and the gradual introduction of automated functions from an end user perspective. These concepts are integrated into prototype vehicles, which are going to be experimented in the next future to understand the full system potential.
