C-ROADS Spain

The C-Roads Spain project is part of the European C-Roads project. The aim of this European project is to deploy cross-border and operable Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for all users using European roads. These intelligent systems encompass a group of wireless technologies and communication between different actors, vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-infrastructures.

C-Roads Spain, includes the deployment of intelligent transport systems in five pilot projects throughout the entire Spanish geography: Galicia, Madrid, the Cantabrian and Mediterranean coasts and the DGT 3.0 project that covers the entire Spanish territory.

In all these pilot projects, warning services to drivers will be tested from the outset on the potential risks that can be found on the roads such as roadworks, stopped vehicles, adverse weather conditions, etc. And subsequently evaluate the effectiveness of these services.

The pilots that will be carried out are:

• DGT. 3.0. This pilot will analyze the implementation of C-ITS services through an Internet of Things (IOT) platform allowing the interconnection of all the actors involved in the traffic and mobility ecosystem. One of its main advantages is that it covers the national territory.
• SISCOGA Extended. This pilot will use a hybrid architecture that includes ITS-G5, LTE and LTE / V communications technology. It is developed on 130 kilometers of intercity roads and 30 km of urban roads.
• Madrid.This pilot takes place in Madrid Carrer 30. It will include a solution to inform users of a car park in the city and a management system capable of connecting to different sources of information to process it and make it available to users of mobile applications.
• Cantabrian Corridor This project is mainly located along the A-8 / E-70 highway that connects the provinces of the northern area of Spain (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country).
• Mediterranean Corridor. The pilot will run along the Mediterranean Corridor in several sections of the AP-7 highway. Its main interest is to check C-ITS services on toll roads.

The FIB inLab will participate in the Madrid and Mediterranean Corridor pilots, in tasks related to cyber security and PVD (Probe Vehicle Data) services for the collection and subsequent analysis of the data.
