DIRECTS TRIALS OF UNUSUAL MANOEUVRES: ATTEMPTS TO EVADE DSRC DETECTION IN ROAD CHARGING

The DIRECTS project (Demonstration of Interoperable Road user End-to-end Charging and Telematics Systems) is a Road User Charging (RUC) trial funded by the UK Department for Transport, and implemented by the Fareway Consortium (Kellog, Brown & Root, Thales and Atkins). One objective was to demonstrate that DSRC roadside equipment cannot be evaded by an equipped vehicle carrying out "unusual but legal" road manoeuvres. Trials were carried out at the UK TRL test track and on an urban road in the city of Leeds. These manoeuvres were not successful in evading detection and charging.
