In September, Asist managed to successfully complete the V2I Smart Highway project, which offers a deployable real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure, a new addition to the world of intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

We are among the first in the world to implement a real-time communication system between vehicles and infrastructure  (V2I, also V2X) into the real environment. The system keeps drivers informed of the state of the road in real time and allows reactions that lead to less congestion, less accidents, less stops and spinning, faster travel times and cleaner air; therefore, a comfortable, safe and economical driving experience. The project was co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund.

Within 24 months of intensive work we have developed:

  • RSU (Road Side Unit) unit,
  • OBU (On Board Unit) unit for use in vehicles,
  • Simulators of other highway systems, needed to test the developed systems

 

In addition to this, we have developed a working communication between:

  • V2I traffic process server and V2I unit
  • V2I unit and V2I traffic process server
  • V2I traffic process server and administrative control centre
  • V2I units and V2X devices in vehicles

The testings of the product / system were first carried out in a testing laboratory, where we established the entire infrastructure for simulating the real environment. When the operation of the individually developed components of the system was appropriate, the components were embedded into the real environment, on the highway just outside Ljubljana, Slovenia, at the south entrance of the Šentvid Tunnel, where we then performed continuous tests in terms of the proper functioning of the communication and responsiveness of the system in real time.

In Asist's Youtube channel you can also check our videos that represent the V2I Smart Highway project. 

In September 2018 Asist has successfully completed the tests and confirmed the completion of the V2I Smart Highway project. We are extremely pleased with results and we look forward to future presentations to the wider circle of interested public and marketing activities; hoping for responsible stakeholders to the widest extent to recognize the advantages of the system.

With development and production of devices and system for communication between road infrastructure and the vehicles (V2I communication devices) we accomplished the main goals of the project:

  • Development of V2I smart system equipment for highways/motorways
  • Positioning of Asist company and country of Slovenia as one of the leaders in the field of development of V2I technologies in EU
  • Development of new technological solutions and preparing all corresponding dissemination and marketing materials.

The project V2I Smart Highway was funded in the sum of 305.505,26 eur by the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology of Slovenia and by European Union from European regional development fund. More info about this: www.eu-skladi.si
