INFRAMIX tests

ASFINAG, along with AustriaTech, Siemens Mobility and Virtual Vehicle, conducted very successful testing days on the Austrian test site on 9th and 10th May 2019. The goal was to test already further future generations of these Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) messages and to ensure that these can be received and understood by vehicles on the road that are equipped with the right receiver.

INFRAMIX installed new equipment for connected highways

Autopistas installed new technological equipment on the Spanish Inframix test site in Girona on 12th June 2019.

What is INFRAMIX new road equipment?

Autopistas installed several new technological innovations on the Spanish test site of the project in Aiguaviva, near Girona. The highway AP-7 test site is part of the TEN-TMediterranean corridor connecting France and Spain. Among other things, the new road equipment includes several sensors to monitor the vehicles passing through this specific piece of highway and tools to enable the communication between the road infrastructure and the automated vehicles (AVs), in other words, I2V and V2I.

Furthermore, Autopistas elaborated new Variable Message Signs (VMSs), showing a light blue car connecting to the outer environment. Consequently, the Inframix VMSs have been installed in the Spanish highway in order to allow the demonstrations of the Inframix scenarios.

INFRAMIX participation during the 13th ITS European Congress in Brainport

The INFRAMIX project was part of the 13th ITS European Congress, the most important congress on Europe, regarding smart mobility and digitalisation of transport. The event, organised by ERTICO,  took place from 3 to 6 of June at the Evoluon Congress Centre, in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

About ITS European Congress 2019

The ITS European Congress is part of a bigger cluster of ITS Congresses. It is organised in a European city in the years where there is no ITS World Congress in Europe. The ITS World Congress rotates between Europe, the Asia Pacific region and the Americas. For all European Congresses, ERTICO and its Partners work closely with the European Commission and the host city to deliver an outstanding event built around three pillars:

• International Programme sessions and presentations with top speakers from the industry
• Demonstrations of the current transport technologies developed and deployed throughout the world
• Exhibition of cutting-edge companies

These events are a strategic opportunity for the transport industry to come together and show the latest innovations, with a slightly different focus for each year. The Congresses display the host city’s latest achievements in the field of intelligent mobility services, supporting the hosts in increasing the awareness of the importance of new solutions and investments in the host region and country.

During the Congress, ERTICO Partners, sponsors and exhibitors have the opportunity to arrange more focused events before, during and after the Congress, as well as having access to meeting rooms, lounge areas and hospitality rooms.

INFRAMIX participation

INFRAMIX was represented from ICCS,etc, etc. In particular, INFRAMIX participate in SIS 38, Infrastructure-assited vehicles from security requirements and software architectures to implementation solutions, in collaboration with SAFERTEC as well as on SIS 14 Track automation and platooning, in collaboration with ICT4CART and interACT.

INFRAMIX at ASECAP Days 2019

The Inframix team took part in several sessions at ASECAP Days 2019. Stamatis Manganiaris from ICCS presented Inframix infrastructure categorisation (ISAD) in a session on asset preservation for enhanced road safety. In particular, he focused on the contribution ISAD is giving to the circulation of autonomous vehicles though C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems). You can find his presentation here.
