C-ROADS Hungary

It was a great honour that our colleagues Róbert Péter Tóth and András Selmeczy made it possible and participated in this test. Similar initiatives are very important to learn how to prepare the infrastructure and the services for the autonomous vehicles. Are we ready for CCAM?

Start of the one-week C-Roads experience of a Turkish delegation in ZalaZone Proving Ground - APZ Kft. A big THANK YOU to Máté Verdes András Selmeczy and their team to make it happen). Next steps will be Graz, having a look on urban installations (thanks to Elisabeth Burghard and Bernd Cagran-Hohl) and Vienna. In Vienna we will visit the ASFINAG Traffic Control Centre (Manfred Harrer, Peter Meckel ) and Kapsch TrafficCom AG (R. Tugrul Güner). Thursday and Friday again Hungarian C-ITS installations are in the focus. We are looking forward to the first C-ITS services operative in Istanbul! #croads #cits #saferoadstoday #itsdirective Elif Ergin, thank you for the good cooperation!

Do you remember the Chuck Norris jokes back in the early '00s ? 🤠 🤸♂️ Well, some of them is not fiction anymore! 😮 C-ITS actually makes some of them possible! 🏋♂️ For example in Zalaegerszeg, the Emergency services and busses can enjoy the benefits as if Chuck Norris himself would travel on the vehicle, and the traffic lights turn green in the designated intersection as soon as they are in reach 🚦 providing the priority for these vehicles to ensure the uninterrupted and flawless travel. 🚑 🚒 🚓 🚌 💨 Jokes aside, Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt. - Hungarian Public Roads together with Commsignia did manage to implement the first fully operational SI-EVP / TSP intersection using only ITS-G5 technology in Zalaegerszeg.

A C-Roads nemzetközi webinár sorozatot indít. Minden érdeklődőt szeretettel várunk!

A C-ITS most már kézzel fogható valóság! Európa-szerte több mint 1,5 millió jármű tud élni a közútkezelők, üzemeltetők által biztosított C-ITS-szolgáltatások előnyeivel. A nemzetközi C-Roads platform ezért egy webinárium-sorozatot indít, hogy értékes betekintést nyújtson a C-ITS telepítések jelenlegi eredményeiről és fejlesztési tervekről. Az első webinár időpontja: június 26. (11:00-12:00 CET) Link: Zoom (https://shorturl.at/ImGos) A webináriumon bárki részt vehet, regisztráció sem szüksége! Az előadásokat rögzítjük, és később a C-Roads weboldalán is elérhetővé tesszük.

C-ITS deployments across Europe are a reality! More than 1.5 million of vehicles are benefiting from C-ITS services provided by infrastructure operators all across Europe. C-Roads is therefore launching a series of webinars to provide valuable insights about current achievements and future steps in C-ITS deployment.   These webinars offer you a deep dive into the functionality, effectiveness, and real-world impact of C-ITS. The first webinar provides exclusive insights from members of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium, ASFINAG, Die Autobahn, and C-Roads as they explore the implementations of C-ITS on the primary road network.   Join us to explore how C-ITS is being successfully implemented to tackle current mobility challenges, improve road safety, and enhance traffic efficiency. Listen to success stories, practical applications, and the benefits that C-ITS brings to multiple domains.   Date: 26th of June Time: 11:00-12:00 CET Location: Zoom (https://shorturl.at/ImGos)   The webinar is open for anyone interested! The session will be recorded and subsequently made available on the C-Roads website for convenient access. Registration is not required.

Another important Milestone was achived during the C-Roads project in Zalaegerszeg! ✅ Together with the service provider Volánbusz Zrt. few vehicles were equipped with a Commsignia C-ITS OBU 🚌 📶 and the first tests were very promising. Public transport is a crucial segment where C-ITS has a very important role. Having an OBU in such vehicle can have several benefits, and collecting the feedback from the busdrivers is important in the further development of the system and services. 🚍 🚦 Meanwhile negotiations have been started with the local Firedepartment 🚒 and Emergency services 🚑, together we have started investigating how they could benefit from the deployments. C-ITS is a not a dream anymore, it IS reality. #saferoadstoday #croads

Two projects, similar goals #SafeRoadsTODAY

👨🔧 Minor adjustments were made and finally 8 maintenance vehicles 🚚 in the region are equipped with mobile roadside units. We aimed to create a user-friendly control HMI, where the driver can select various C-ITS messages in any combination, without time consuming procedure or any prior IT knowledge. 📲 With these vehicles we can cover a huge area of rural roads with standardised ITS-G5 messages. Fun fact; one of the vehicles’ licence plate is, hence the name, RSU-255 😅 The VRU use case in Zalaegerszeg is also up and running! Installed on a crossing right before a school serves as a safeguard for students where unfortunately a lot of accidents have happened. 🏃♂️ 🚴♂️ The detection of pedestrians and cyclists is achieved with two different technologies, a Lidar sensor 🔊 and camera recognition system. 🎥 Those will be also compared with each other and evaluated for latency, recognition reliability in different weather conditions. One VW ID4 supported our test, of course not on purpose, but we did received the front collision warning 💥 , blind spot warning 🙈 and an emergency brake warning ✋ when a pedestrian crossed the road unexpected in front of our new test companion. Special thanks to Commsignia and Sagemcom Magyarország Kft. for their efforts on the implementation and ofcourse for the support of the local maintenance center of Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt. - Hungarian Public Roads. Stay tuned, as we still have some surprises in the upcoming months 😉 Do you want to test the equipment yourself? Then visit us at booth 21 and register for one of the free tours 🚌 at the Greentech Conference https://lnkd.in/eXvMbcEP in one month time! Looking forward seeing you there. #croads #cits #saferoadstoday

What do you see on this picture? 🖼 Well, it looks like a colorful slipknot at first, but it is so much more... We took a random 15 min timewindow ⏰ of a busy morning in 2024 March, and within this timeframe we have recorded a few C-ITS equipped vehicles passing by a busy highway intersection near Budapest. 🚗 💨 These vehicles, left a trace, like snails 🐌, containing hundreds of datasets per second, from the beginning the contact was established between the OBU and the RSU until they were out of reach. The CAM Messages are broadcasted with a freqency of 1-10Hz, so we recieved enough points from each vehicle, to put them on a map and color the dots according to current speed in this very example. Maybe it is surprising, but this procedure is GDPR compliant 😱 as defined in the ETSI standard, these messages are totally anonym and encrypted, these cannot be traced back to any specific vehicle.✔ The amount of data, what we still have to analyse and visualise is enourmus but as a road operator the possible ways of using the data is literally endless so we better get working on it. 👷♂️ What is your take? What would be first thing you would use the data for? Happy to hear your thoughs in the comments below. 👇 As our colleague András Selmeczy stated in the #CRoads C-ITS contest in Porto, in order to improve C-ITS services further and to create futureproof solutions we have to look in to the data more in depth, to understand better the patterns. This is the path what Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt. - Hungarian Public Roads believes in and is devoted to do in the upcoming years. Special thanks to Tamás Biró for the visualisation!
