Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems Building a demonstrator for the CVIS-project on the Informatieve Weg

Within the next decades Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will become more cooperative in the sense that vehicles and road-side infrastructure will work together in their task to create a safer, more ecient and more comfortable environment for everybody. The Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure Systems (CVIS) project is one of those initiatives that is making this transition possible. For CVIS it can be (economically) beneficial to re-use existing road-side information systems and put those systems in a cooperative context. The Informatieve Weg (IW) or `Informative Road' is an example of a non-cooperative ITS that has the chance to become truly cooperative. This thesis reports on the process to realize a demonstration of a cooperative ITS concept that could be integrated with the IW's systems, all within the context of the CVIS project.
