Evaluation C-ITS
18041
From 2019 to 2023
TML evaluated cooperative intelligent transport systems within three domains: functional technical, impact on traffic, and user acceptance, with a specific focus on pilot projects such as InterCor, C-Roads, and CITRUS. TML analysed the added value of C-ITS services such as traffic information and alerts as well as the results of the TESTFEST in Antwerp and studied truck parking occupancy rates along the E17 to France.
The aim of this project was to evaluate C-ITS projects. C-ITS or cooperative intelligent transport systems are systems where information is exchanged between the roadside (or traffic centre) and the vehicle via 4G and G5. We conducted these evaluations within three evaluation domains: functional technical (who sent/received what message?), impact (on congestion, emissions, etc.), and user acceptance (both before and after using the technology). We evaluated both the InterCor pilot project and three C-ITS pilot projects within Flanders (InterCor, C-Roads, and Citrus). In the overarching analysis, we tried to find a general answer to the question about the added value of C-ITS and did a comparative study between different technologies and approaches. Here we looked at services such as roadworks alerts, in-vehicle roadside information, and time-to-red-and-green at traffic lights. In this project, we also analysed the results of the TESTFEST in Antwerp, evaluating the previous services on 4G, G5, and interoperability.
Subsequently, a study on the occupancy rates at truck parking sites along the E17 towards France was also conducted within this framework contract.

More info on the three C-ITS pilot projects:
- InterCor was an international partnership between Flanders, the Netherlands, France, and the UK, aiming to form a corridor where different C-ITS services operate interoperably across national borders.
- C-Roads is an international partnership on a larger scale (16 countries) and has similar objectives.
- CITRUS was a Flemish project (with European support) with a focus on trucks: read more in the project fiche.
