Organization: Cohda Wireless
Congress Theme: Smart Cities and New Urban Mobility, Vehicle and Network Safety, Cooperative and Automated Vehicles
Category most closely aligns with: Roads and Tunnels, Ports – Air and Sea
Overview Statement: GPSless positioning for V2X
In V2X systems vehicles determine their position using GPS. This information is then shared over 5.9 GHz with surrounding vehicles and infrastructure to deliver safety and mobility applications. In environments such as forests, urban canyons, parking garages and tunnels positioning via GPS is challenged or unavailable. In this Demonstration Cohda shows vehicles being positioned in an underground car park where GPS is not available. The vehicles position themselves and transmit messages containing GPS coordinates as if GPS was available. Only standard V2X hardware deployment and standard messaging over the air are employed. Participants will ride in the vehicles and observe the V2X system performing in GPS occluded environments.
Demo Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
Bookings: This is a bookable demonstration – pre-bookings required. Please refer to the Congress App or the Demonstrations and Technical Tours Lounge located in the exhibition hall.
Organization: Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH
Congress Theme: Smart Cities and New Urban Mobility, Vehicle and Network Safety, Cooperative and Automated Vehicles
Category most closely aligns with: Roads and Tunnels, ICT – Enabling Multi-Modal Transportation
Overview Statement: Real-time Localization and Reference Generation
This demonstration will present real-time localization of a vehicle in challenging urban scenarios where standard GPS localization is not possible. The technology will be mainly based on lidar-based perception that works in combination with digital maps collected a-priori. Online data will be obtained during the drive in addition to the localization results to show the online capabilities of the state-of-the-art perception system. In addition, reference data of the drive will be generated during an offline processing stage for evaluation and assessment purposes. The participants will get on the end of the drive a print out with all relevant information of the drive.
Demo Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
Bookings: This is a bookable demonstration – pre-bookings required. Please refer to the Congress App or the Demonstrations and Technical Tours Lounge located in the exhibition hall.
Organization: Intelematics
Congress Theme: Vehicle and Network Safety
Category most closely aligns with: Roads and Tunnels, Education, Research and Development
Overview Statement: At last, practical Emergency Vehicle Alerts
Safety for all road users is vital when emergency vehicles are attending an emergency. Soundproofing in modern cars, combined with in-car entertainment means a driver’s awareness of approaching emergency vehicles can be limited or non-existent, even when sirens and lights are in use. Emergency Vehicle Alert (EVACast) is the solution to that problem. It requires no special equipment in either the emergency vehicle or the car – a requirement that has hindered many previously proposed solutions. Using standard GPS in the emergency vehicle and a connection to their base station, combined with the EVACast geo-processing platform and an embedded app or smartphone in the car, a clear warning can be provided to road users. For such a system to be successful minimising false warnings is critical while ensuring an appropriate warning is provided when required. EVACast can use a number of sophisticated processing algorithms to ensure high reliability of warning messages.

Organization: Kapsch TrafficCom Australia
Congress Theme: Smart Cities and New Urban Mobility, Cooperative and Automated Vehicles, Mobile Applications
Category most closely aligns with: Roads and Tunnels
Overview Statement: Kapsch V2X, C-ITS and mobile tolling
Kapsch TrafficCom is demonstrating its Mobile Tolling application and V2X capabilities. The V2X showcase, on Melbourne’s roads and Transurban’s Toll Roads, is based on existing ETSI ITS G5 standards including the most recent specifications from the co-operative ITS corridor project ECo-AT (part of the European ITS corridor between Netherland, Germany and Austria). The seamless integration of V2X functionalities in DYNAC ATMS® (Advanced Traffic Management), a proven system environment, shows the easy management of V2I and I2V simultaneously. The demonstration includes the Harbour Esplanade, the CityLink and M1 Freeway). Along this path several Cooperative ITS use cases will be demonstrated, e.g. road works warning (RWW), in-vehicle information – speed limits, weight and dimension warnings, co-existence with 5.8GHz DSRC based Tolling and more.
The Mobile Tolling showcase demonstrates how mobile applications enhance the video toll performance in tolling systems and at the same time improve the journey experience on toll highways by offering an alternative tolling solution that is of particular interest to infrequent users. Along the CityLink toll road, the mobile tolling application informs the road user about entering and exiting the toll road as well as the incurred tolls.
Demo Duration: Approximately 20 minutes

Organization: Aldridge Traffic Controllers
Congress Theme: Smart Cities and New Urban Mobility, Vehicle and Network Safety
Category most closely aligns with: Roads and Tunnels
Overview Statement: GPS Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption
Aldridge Traffic Controllers (ATC) in conjunction with Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) will be providing a field demonstration of the latest technology in Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP). The Opticom GPS EVP system utilizes satellite-derived GPS coordinates combined with a bi-directional radio which allows the vehicle to “handshake” constantly with the intersection to ensure EVP is only activated precisely when required. Legacy Infra-Red (IR) systems using direct line-of-site are subject to aging or degradation and require regular cleaning for optimal performance. All of the factors impacting IR systems are eliminated with GPS. The demonstration will be conducted in a small bus and commence at the intersection of City/Moray/Queensbridge and conclude after the Pedestrian Operated Signals of City near Fanning. The proposed demonstration will involve travelling along City Road twice, once without any Pre-emption activated and then with Pre-emption activated. This will demonstrate the reduced delay and travel time using EVP.
Demo Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
Bookings: This is a bookable demonstration – pre-bookings required. Please refer to the Congress App or the Demonstrations and Technical Tours Lounge located in the exhibition hall.
