C-its pilot hessen/kassel

Within the scope of C-Roads Germany – Urban Nodes the Hessian and the City of Kassel Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS)-infrastructure will be developed and improved by extending the existing services and by implementing new C-ITS services in the urban and interurban area.

For the Hessian transport network, the services Emergency Vehicle Approaching (EVA) and Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) will be extended. The following three new services will be implemented:

Connected and Cooperative Navigation into and out of the city (route advice),
Traffic Signal Priority (TSP),
Vulnerable Road User protection, e.g. bicyclists (VRU).

For the transport network of the city of Kassel the services GLOSA and TSP will be extended. Additionally the following three services will be implemented:
