Gröchenig, S., & Rehrl, K. (2021). Towards C-ITS-based communication between bicycles and automated vehicles. In A. Basiri, G. Gartner, & H. Huang (Eds.), LBS 2021: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Location Based Services (pp. 88–95). https://doi.org/10.34726/1753
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) technologies
will play a significant role in the communication of automated vehicles. So
far, vulnerable road users such as cyclists or pedestrians are often excluded
from the communication and therefore are not able to actively create awareness
for themselves. The Austrian research project Bike2CAV aims at improving
bicyclists’ safety via Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (CITS)
technologies. The work introduces the implemented prototype of a CITS-
enabled helmet consisting of a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
device (XSens MTi 680G) to determine the current location and two
additional IMUs (MetamotionR by Mbientlab) mounted on the left and right
hand to recognize turn intentions indicated by hand signals. The overall goal
is to evaluate the C-ITS-prototype in real-world situations, especially
whether localization accuracies (0.1 m accuracy at 95% confidence) can be
achieved. For the LBS 2021 conference, first results will be available.
