Public attitudes are a key factor shaping the demand and market for autonomous vehicles. Previous studies are limited to a priori attitudes since such vehicles are not yet fully accessible to the public. A survey among 200 passengers of autonomous mini buses in real operation in the city of Trikala shows that they were well accepted and integrated in the people's everyday life and that there were...
DATEX II has been developed to provide a standardized way of communication and exchange of traffic information and it plays an important role for implementing integrated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Europe. This standard is suggested for providing information services for safe and secure truck parking places which is considered one of the priority in the ITS Action Plan. The novelty...
The current study discusses the results of a survey on the topic of “GNSS applications: user preferences”. The aim is to understand user preferences of GNSS applications in order to develop competitive research projects, new GNSS products / services and further increases in global GNSS market shares. The questionnaire was conducted during September – October 2015. The results of the questionnaire...
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) enable the communication between vehicles, roadside infrastructure and traffic control centers. Except of the radio link between the vehicles and between vehicles and roadside infrastructure the system specifications are not finalized now. In this paper the C-ITS concept in context of the European Cooperative ITS corridor is described. The focus is...
Insuring long term stability of power supply is the reason why planning of technological development in the energy sector has become a question of great importance for governments worldwide. This is also the reason why the number of national and international energy foresight exercises, based on combining forward-looking, policy-making and participative approaches to bringing long-term considerations...
Nowadays the lack of interaction between vehicles and their control systems is the primary concern in modern cities when it comes the time to improve the road use and vehicular security. To solve this problem it's necessary a fast and proper deployment of intelligent transport systems in vehicular environments. These systems were designed to improve the security systems and optimize the management...
This study presents a set of security and emergency services derived from different satellite missions. Areas of application cover pre-frontier intelligence, critical assets monitoring and emergency mapping for emergency response. Security is a novel sphere for remote sensing: the launching of commercial sub-metric multispectral and radar missions has open operative horizons for satellite security...
There have been increasing calls for a ldquoclean slaterdquo approach to developing a new architecture for the Internet, with research underway in many countries. The challenge is to identify the circumstances in which such a new design might be deployed. Historical precedents for significant network changes suggest that a tipping point would not easily be reached and might not be sustainable.
Currently there are various major research and technological development (RTD) initiatives running in parallel on road transport telematics in Europe. The national public authorities and administrations are looking for solutions to meet their demands in providing road users better information in order to promote cleaner, safer and more efficient traffic and transport environment. The industrial and...
