Demo vehicles Page5 Total 22 vehicles participate in the Demo with passengers. 20 Passenger cars (10 for C2C and 10 for TT) 1 Motorcycle 1 Truck TT-C BMW Honda CTAG Volvo Ford BMW FOKUS Daimler Passenger cars: C2C-C Motorcycle: Truck : BMW x 2 CTAG Daimler FOKUS Ford Honda Opel Volvo x 2 Honda Volvo TT-C ASFiNAG x 2 AudioMobil AustriaTech BMT Efkon Kapsh Siemens Swarco TomTom Honda Motorcycle Volvo Truck
Use Cases Page6 EEBL (Emergency Electronic Brake Light) and MAI (Motorcycle Approaching Indication) are based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication and demonstrated at closed parking named as Safety Area.

Connection between C2C and TT Page8 On public road, all use cased are based on road side information ( i.e. V2I based use cases) Road side infrastructure is provided by TT. Messages for C2C are translated from TPEG format which is used by TT. Message adaptation (translation) was key of this collaboration demo, and lot of time was spent. Finally, TT road side units and C2C vehicles were connected well.
Demo Route at Safety Area After the public road demo, C2C vehicles move to the Safety Area and show V2V based safety use cases. - EEBL : Emergency Electronic Brake Light - MAI : Motorcycle Approaching Indication Page9 Movement of target motorcycle Movement of demo vehicles Waiting point of target motorcycle
Demo Scenario at Safety Area Page10 MAI demo EEBL demo-1 Area for order change EEBL demo-2 Target vehicles wait here. Demo vehicles enter to the Safety Area and re-organize platoon. Hidden motorcycle approaches oppositely. After EEBL demo-1, the platoon changes its order and re-try to EEBL demo-2.
Demo pictures at Safety Area Page11 Target motorcycle approaches oppositely but hidden by.a SUV (orange CR-V). MAI indicates existence of the motorcycle which is bit hard to see. EEBL warning on the demo motorcycle
Passengers Page12 Excepting VIP/Press day, the total number of passengers were 931 (registration base). In early morning and just after lunch, we had less passengers than other time slots. date time 9:00-10:00-11:00-13:00-14:00-15:00-16:00- sub-total Mon. 23-Oct. Mon. 23-Oct. Mon. 23-Oct.

Passenger s Feedback Page13 On the whole, there are no negative comment V2V based safety use cases got more favorable reception than public road, because these tell them invisible (hard to see) information in advance. - When get explanation for MAI, I thought no need for me. However, I change my mind after the demo to see invisible situation. Situations to get passengers sympathize : - Information of changing time of traffic signal from red to green - Traffic signal information according turn lever operation - Toll road information before approaching the road - Speed over warning before to change limitation
Some results from the Demo Page14 Standard proved: - Interoperability between different projects, suppliers and OEMs. - Different vehicles and RSUs can speak same language. Good appeal of valuable ITS features: - Demonstration of system in real traffic condition - Demonstration of system in aiming situation Gather stability issues of system under difficult conditions: - Under congested communication
Some results from the Demo Page15 Position accuracy is affecting the result of the applications running on top of the system. Congestion control become essential when number of vehicles increases high channel load! Recognized importance of priority control for both of application and message dealing Recognized difficulty of RSU layout arrangement: - Compatibility of effectiveness and connectivity
