Use Case:
Remote monitoring and supervision of AVs fleet for safe and efficient operations and real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure
The Trikala LL will showcase the operation of an automated shuttles fleet of Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) service to connect a suburban area with the city centre, facilitating the mobility of workers who live in this peripheral area and other vulnerable groups.
Objectives
- Encourage more sustainable urban mobility, contributing to climate neutrality through the modal split in mobility.
- Integrate CCAM services into the Public Transport and traffic management system, seeking user acceptance and advocating for new business models.
- Improve traffic efficiency and, consequently, user safety through an intelligent eco-system underpinned by CCAM.
Users’ perspectives
Traffic-based Green Wave
By optimising traffic signal phases, the service delivered smoother rides with shorter travel times and fewer interruptions. Users experienced a more seamless and efficient journey across the city.
GLOSA (Green Light Optimised Speed Advisory)
Real-time speed advice reduced delays at intersections, allowing vehicles to move more fluidly through traffic and improving overall travel efficiency.
VRU Detection & Warning
The system added an extra layer of safety for both passengers and pedestrians. While passengers occasionally noticed brief stops or decelerations at intersections, pedestrians benefited from greater protection in busy areas.
