Connected mobility drives traffic safety, efficiency and sustainability

Challenge:
Connectivity is becoming omnipresent in today’s society. Connected mobility leverages this transformation by connecting road users, road infrastructure, road operators, and service providers, enabling the exchange of data between them. This has the potential to significantly improve traffic safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

Our Solution:  
To realize its full potential, alignment and cooperation between diverse stakeholders is essential. TNO combines in-depth expertise in vehicle and communication technologies with the ability to orchestrate innovation, fostering the collaboration needed to unlock the full potential of connected mobility and create a positive societal impact.

To facilitate a gradual and secure transition towards connected mobility, TNO offers interdisciplinary expertise to both industry stakeholders and policymakers. Our expertise is complemented by state-of-the-art proof of concepts building blocks that can be used to design, develop, and validate the future Digital Road Infrastructure. They include secure hybrid communication units, 5G radio & core, a data space, C-ITS/CCAM services, misbehavior detection and a technical validation platform, able to assess the data quality and trust.

·Impact:

• ·Through TNO’s applied research we have gained insight in a future blueprint of a digital road infrastructure

• TNO's earlier projects related to CCAM have provided the substantiation of the necessity of connectivity to reach higher levels of automation.

• Earlier initiatives have investigated, substantiated & demonstrated the added value of (current and future) connectivity technologies and  concepts for 3 zeros

• Recent results have provided insight in the possibilities (and potential threats) of emerging technologies·
