iTETRIS: Scenarios for Simulation of Real-Time Road Traffic Management Solutions over Integrated Wireless Communication and Traffic Platforms

Wireless vehicular cooperative systems are an attractive solution to improveroad traffic management. V2V-V2I communication technologies can improve traffic management through real-time exchange of data among vehicles and with road infrastructure. Field Operational Tests will get first insights into the benefits and problems faced by such cooperative traffic management strategies; there is yet the need to evaluate in long term and large dimension the traffic efficiency improvements. iTETRIS will be the first tool capable of addressing such dimensions. The aim of this paper is to present in detail the traffic management scenarios and strategies that will be supported by iTETRIS.
