Score@F : French Field Operational Test for Cooperative Systems

SCORE@F (French experimental and cooperative road system) is a collaborative research project. Its goals are experiments of Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) within an European framework. This project prepares the deployment of C-ITS across Europe, including all kinds of road infrastructures. It belongs to the French work-programme “FUI”, and is composed of 21 partners, with a global budget of 6 million Euros. C-ITS are based on a local wireless communication (WAVE for Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment at 5,9 GHz bandwith allocated by CEPT/ECC), between vehicles (V2V) and vehicle-roadside infrastructure (V2I and I2V). The deployment of C-ITS will really be influenced by the European Commission ITS Directive which was adopted in 2010. The objective of this paper is to take stock of the first use cases experiments of the SCORE@F project..
