ETSI is launching its 5th ETSI ITS Plugtest, a two week testing event for co-operative transport systems focusing on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, an event which contributes to ITS deployment, tests interoperability of ITS equipment from all key vendors and demonstrates the convergence between ITS and Internet of Things.
Testing will take place from 7 to 17 November around the port of Livorno in Italy. In addition the Sea Port Innovation Conference Day will be held on 1
ETSI is launching its 5th ETSI ITS Plugtest, a two week testing event for co-operative transport systems focusing on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, an event which contributes to ITS deployment, tests interoperability of ITS equipment from all key vendors and demonstrates the convergence between ITS and Internet of Things.
Testing will take place from 7 to 17 November around the port of Livorno in Italy. In addition the Sea Port Innovation Conference Day will be held on 16 and 17 November and attendees will be able to take a demo tour on the test track.
ETSI has worked for several months with its partners374 ERTICO, CNIT, Livorno Port Authority, Regione Toscana (Tuscan Regional Government), AVR (Livorno/Florence highway), 1813 Autostrade Tech (motorway network) and 1983 Telecom Italia to put the test bed in place.
This event will trial the ITS network under real life conditions from infrastructure to applications in vehicles, demonstrating conformance to ETSI ITS Release 1 standard and interoperability of ITS G5 radio equipment. Companies from Asia, Europe and North America will have the opportunity to connect their equipment to the test infrastructure, providing an opportunity for solution providers to maximise the effectiveness of their ITS solutions in urban environments.
A test-drive path will be set up in Livorno, to be used for quick setup of testing equipment in the field. The infrastructure will include a ten-minute test drive on the Livorno-Florence highway, an IoT test bed enabling a set of specialised test cases on large-scale distributed sensing and actuation, which can be seen as a vertical realisation of M2M communications in the context of intelligent transport, according to ETSI.
The test site includes variable message signs, traffic lights, IoT sensors and cameras as well as connectivity with the highway control centre. A range of scenarios will be addressed, including road hazard signalling, traffic sign violation, intersection collision risk warning and loading zone management.
