Abstract
In the area of smart cities, great emphasis is placed on many different fields such as energetics, information systems, and transportation. All of these should lead to a simplification of life thanks to smart technologies. If we talk about the transportation field, the main issues related to this area are safety, traffic efficiency, or the environment. Another condition is the successful acceptance of any new technology by its users. Cooperative systems prove to be a suitable solution for these issues, especially in urban areas. Today, pilot implementations of cooperative systems in European countries are being carried out. However, before they are put into full operation, they need to be tested, evaluated, and assessed. This article focuses on the latter two points, i.e., evaluation and assessment of the cooperative systems. For this purpose, a methodology was created, which describes the procedure chosen in the evaluation and assessment of cooperative systems in the Czech Republic and a demonstration of its use by example. The methodology is focused on three main areas, which in this case are functional evaluation, user acceptance, and impact assessment. For the area of user acceptance, the main source was questionnaires, impact assessment relied on measured data while functional evaluation was based on discussions with the drivers, evaluating the cooperative systems, the measured data, and the expert observations. All collected and measured data were then processed and some of the results of the evaluation of the selected service are presented at the end of this article.
Highlights
Today, Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) are becoming one of the main new technologies in transport
HMI, and the overall warning system. This can be seen in the example of the Public transport vehicle crossing (PTVC) use-case and its usefulness, and impleThe main objective of the to assess whether notifying the that driver of mentation together
The main benefit of the article is the creation of evaluation methodology including specifics in the Czech Republic that are in line with the Evaluation and Assessment plan and FESTA handbook
Summary
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) are becoming one of the main new technologies in transport Their main goal is to increase traffic safety, traffic flow, and to reduce the negative impact on the environment through the acquisition of real-time targeted traffic information and rapid response to it. C-ITS are based on the exchange of data between two vehicles via OBU (On-board unit) and between vehicles (OBU) and other elements such as RSU (Road-side unit), BO (Back-office), or mobile phones. The basic principle of C-ITS is to send up-to-date information of various kinds such as a warning or a temporary event via C-ITS messages sufficiently in advance. A typical example might be a road works warning, a traffic jam ahead warning, or a weather condition warning
