RAMSS analysis for a co-operative integrated traffic management system

The European Project COOPERS aims at developing co-operative systems based on innovative telematics solutions to increase road safety. Co-operative traffic management is implemented by intelligent services interfacing vehicles, drivers, road infrastructure and operators. These services involve various types of smart systems and wireless communications and have different impact on safety. Therefore, a RAMSS analysis has been carried out in the initial phase of the project. One of the major problems faced was the lack of knowledge regarding the implementation of the system. Consequently, a holistic approach to identify the most critical parts of COOPERS had to be considered. The methods used and the results found by applying a RAMSS analysis to the specific case of co-operative road traffic management services are presented.
