ROADART :: Geonetworking Mode

In ROADART, one of the developed and demonstrated diversity operation modes is the Geo-tracking, Geo-networking scheme. According to that, the patterns are selected based on the geometry of vehicles in a given time instance. This information is achieved through the ROADART localization engine, where each vehicle is aware of its position and additionally through the received ITS messages, which reveals the position of the cooperating vehicles. The engine calculates the relative heading angle between the vehicles and each vehicle decides on the combination of patterns that best fits the geometry of the vehicle. In this video, the behavior of the algorithm during an overtake maneuver that took place in the A55 Highway in Germany is presented.
