TransAID Deliverable 9.5: TransAID Final Conference

The TransAID (Transition Areas for Infrastructure-Assisted Driving) project focuses on development and demonstration of infrastructure-assisted traffic management procedures, protocols, and guidelines for smooth coexistence between automated, connected, and conventional vehicles especially at Transition Areas. Main objectives are: - Evaluation and modelling of current automation prototypes and the behaviour of the drivers. - Assessment of the impact of Transition Areas on traffic safety and efficiency. Generate requirements on enhanced traffic management procedures. - Development of infrastructure-assisted management procedures and protocols to control connected, automated, and conventional vehicles at Transition Areas. - Definition of V2X message sets and communication protocols for the cooperation between connected/automated vehicles and the road infrastructure. - Development of procedures to enhance the detection of conventional vehicles and obstacles on the roads and to inform/influence conventional vehicles. - Integration, testing, and evaluation of the TransAID infrastructure-assisted traffic management protocols and procedures in a simulation environment. Validation and demonstration of them by means of real-world prototypes at test sites. - Provision of a guideline/roadmap to stakeholders regarding the requirements on traffic infrastructure and traffic management in order to cope with Transition Areas considering mixed traffic. This Deliverable describes the organisation and main outcome of the TransAID Final Conference. The event was first planned on 1 July 2020 (one full day), in conjunction with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) FISTS (Forum on Integrated and Sustainable Transportation System) on 30 June to 2 July in Delft, The Netherlands. A Call for Papers was published, and a Special Session on cooperative and automated driving in a transition phase (dedicated for TransAID) was arranged with scientific papers, and invited speakers without papers.
