Co-operative systems research through public-private-partnership

Co-operative systems in transport can bring new intelligence for vehicles, roadside systems, operators and individuals, by creating a universally understood communications language, allowing vehicles and infrastructure to share information and co-operate in an unlimited range of new applications and services. Expected benefits include increased road network capacity, reduced congestion and pollution, shorter journey times, extendedand more accurate traffic information, improved traffic safety, lower vehicle operating costs and more efficient logistics. The successful implementation of co-operative systems relies on an open relationship between public authorities and the private transport sector. Volvo and the Swedish Road Administration (SRA) have a long tradition of public-private-partnership within ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) research, both on the national and international arena. In this presentation, Volvo and SRA will describe past and on-going joint projects regarding co-operative systems. Some key success factors for public-private-partnership research will also be discussed. Projects presented are from the Swedish national research program Green Car (OPTIS - OPtimised Traffic In Sweden) as well as the European Sixth Framework Programme (CVIS - Co-operative Vehicle-Infrastructure Systems and SAFESPOT) (A).
