SOCRATES: System Of Cellular RAdio for Traffic Efficiency and Safety

SOCRATES is a multinational research project investigating the use of cellular radio for a complete system of RTI, including dynamic route guidance and many other applications. It is developing techniques for using cellular radio as the basic communication medium. Many RTI applications will depend upon the widespread availability of two-way communication between vehicles and control centres; cellular radio offers a potential pan-European infrastructure which should provide an economically efficient basis for the Integrated Road Transport Environment
