Abstract
Cooperative systems play a major role in the reduction of road accidents. Among several research initiatives, field trials allow to evaluate cooperative system performance as well as their impact on end-users. Field Operational Tests, such as DRIVE C2X EU Project, are being carried out by major players in several sites across Europe. In this context, an Italian Test Site close Trento city addresses free-flow scenarios on a motorway. Applications based on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure cooperation provide alerts directly on-board. This paper describes the Italian Test Site, including vehicle fleet and infrastructure elements. It outlines a specific application tested and preliminary experimental results.
