Transport Infrastructure Ireland launches C-ITS road safety pilot study

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has launched a pilot programme for on-road connected vehicle technology, also known as cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). Part of a €10m investment to roll out C-ITS technology on Irish roads, half the funding is provided by the EU and half by the state. C-ITS enables vehicles to 'talk' to other connected vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and traffic management control centres to share relevant safety-related alerts and advisory messages with drivers.
