Abstract:
Automated driving expected benefits, such as enhanced traffic safety, are only
fully realized in the future when the vehicles are able to maneuver in all
weather conditions. Finnish transport agencies and EU CEF-funded projects aim to
study automated driving in icy and snowy conditions. The four studies on digital
and physical infrastructures to support automated driving included post and
poles, Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) hybrid communication,
accurate positioning of vehicles, and vehicle remote control using cellular
communication. The results present a prototype of passive radar reflector, a
C-ITS hybrid communication solution, and a reliable positioning system for an
automated vehicle in Arctic north extreme weather conditions. During the tests,
ITS-G5 provided more stable Infrastructure to Vehicle (I2V) communication than
commercial 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) but had more limited geographic
coverage.
