Implementation and Testing of V2X-Applications for Near Future Urban Traffic in Berlin

Abstract

With the emergence of automated vehicles in future urban traffic, the aim is to achieve enhanced connectivity and cooperation among these vehicles themselves, as well as with traffic control systems, to ensure increased traffic safety, even within a mixed operational system. In the project KIS'M, an AI-based system for connected mobility is being tested, aimed at addressing the challenges of autonomous, driverless, and on- demand operations in dynamically expanding service areas. In this paper we focus on the importance of interaction between vehicles and cooperative infrastructure for automated and connected driving. In particular, the implementation and testing of cooperative applications in the KIS'M project in Berlin, Germany is presented. The expansion of cooperative infrastructure and related approval processes are addressed, as were various use cases and recommendations for future expansion. The paper emphasizes the need for standardization and technical feasibility to achieve widespread use and improve traffic flow.
