Abstract

Innovative advanced systems have been proposed for improving the safety and efficiency in the mobility of road users in Europe. Particularly for road transport, new ITS-based Cooperative Services for preventing accidents in critical points and situations are emerging where road users, vehicles and a sensorised integrative infrastructure are the main actors. With this motivation, and taking into account the road infrastructure's capability to incorporate new Cooperative Systems technology, this study aims to provide a first set of guidelines for speeding up the convergence process among a broad set of multi-heterogeneous sensor data fusion, high level situation understanding and assessment, and communications capabilities, all of them necessary for the development of advanced ITS safety-related services previously mentioned. Analysis is focused on vulnerable road users (VRUs) and on how this kind of services will contribute to provide more intelligent and safer urban traffic environments. A typical scenario involving VRU is studied as a preliminary analysis of the impact that these systems have on the safety of a specific group of road users. Some of the underlying principles of the proposed architecture will be validated in a field operational test FP7 European project.
