WE DO IT COOPERATIVE
Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) applications rely on knowledge of the geographical positions of vehicles. Unfortunately, satellite-based positioning systems (e.g., GPS and Galileo) are unable to provide suf� ciently accurate position information for many important applications and in certain challenging but common environments (e.g., urban canyons and tunnels).
HIGHTS will combine traditional
satellite systems with an innovative
use of on-board sensing and cooper-
ative wireless communication technolo-
gies (e.g., Wi-Fi, ITS-G5, UWB tracking,
ZigBee, Bluetooth, LTE...) to produce
advanced, highly-accurate positioning
solutions for C-ITS.
HIGHTS results will be integrated into the facilities layer of ETSI C-ITS architecture and will thereby become available for all C-ITS applications. The project will therefore go beyond ego- and infra-structure-based positioning by incorporating them as building blocks to develop an enhanced European-wide positioning service platform based on enhanced Local Dynamic Maps and built on open European standards.

HIGH PRECISION POSITIONING
FOR COOPERATIVE ITS
Project Coordinator Dr. Stefano Severi Jacobs University Bremen [email protected]
WE DO IT SAFE WE DO IT ACCURATE
Safety is a huge challenge for today’s road scenario and it will be even more challenging in the future, with the progressive introduction of Highly Automa-ted Driving (HAD) applications such as Cooperati-ve-ACC or Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).
HIGHTS platform will be a key enabler to C-ACC and Platooning. In particular C-ACC and Platooning will provide smoother driving conditions, optimization of traf� c � ows and high precision lane detection for more ef� cient guidance in urban and highway environments.
The HIGHTS platform will increase the
safety-level of vulnerable road users
(motorcycles, scooters, pedestrians)
through bi-directional danger detection
and by detecting slight deviations from
driving courses, thus detecting danger
before it occurs.
HIGHTS will enable the localization
of any vehicle on the road with a
positioning precision of 0.25 meters.
