DITCM roadside facilities for cooperative systems testing and evaluation

Cooperative systems are being developed for large scale deployment in the near future. Validation of the performance of cooperative systems, and evaluation of the impact of cooperative applications is crucial before large scale deployment can proceed. The DITCM test site facilitates testing, evaluation, and validation of cooperative systems in normal traffic. The test site spans the urban roads in two cities and the connecting motorway. This paper presents the architecture of the road side facilities and its compliance to standards. It also shows the flexibility to configure the facilities to a wide range of validation and evaluation setups in a series of international and national projects.
