In the domain of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems), automated road transport has received high attention from industry, authorities and the general public. The perspective is that infrastructure-based cooperative, connected and automated driving is an option for enhancing traffic safety, traffic efficiency and energy efficiency, and for increasing comfort. The project TransAID (Transition Areas for Infrastructure-Assisted Driving) targets the transition phases between different levels of automation, and, more specifically, investigates the areas (called "Transition Areas") where this will happen (Transition Areas). The project will develop and demonstrate traffic management procedures and protocols to enable smooth coexistence of automated, cooperative, connected (equipped) vehicles and conventional (non-equipped) vehicles, especially in Transition Areas, in an urban environment. The paper will present the TransAID concept, research method and an initial architecture for addressing this specific issue.
