Technical Assessment of NordicWay Coop Demonstration

This report presents the findings from a technical assessment made for a proof of concept implementation of a traffic information system within NordicWay project. The NordicWay project pilots cellular Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) services in a road network which extends from Denmark and Norway to Sweden and Finland. The proof of concept demonstration targeted the Finnish implementation of the services. HERE and Infotripla supplied the technology and VTT carried out an assessment. Ten scenario tests were run during a single demonstration day, collecting log data from network servers and mobile phones. These scenarios included sending traffic information simultaneously to eight mobile phone users, warning them e.g. about an obstacle on the roadway and short-term roadworks. The tested system performed well in all tests, providing information to correct users in target areas. The technical assessment reviewed the performance of the information system against a set of quality criteria, raising from project goals as well the European ITS Platform (EIP) quality criteria. The targets addressed by the proof of concept demonstration were met, with technical assessment providing some notes and recommendations for further development of the system in view of upcoming large-scale trials.
