In the US, the Vehicle to Infrastructure initiative is called IntelliDrive. In Europe, a similar project is underway called DIAMANT. This project involves dynamic information and applications for retaining mobility by using adaptive networks and telematics infrastrucure.TIC is used in the DIAMANT project, to collect traffic events, link speed, variable message signs and roadwork from the road network.
From the vehicle, TIC collects GPS position plus heading, speed and status of brakes, lights, and other systems.
The DIAMANT project is sponsored by the German Federal State Hesse.
Besides this project, TIC has been used in other research projects dealing with vehicle and infrastructure communications, including GST – Global System for Telematics, Coopers – Cooperative Systems for Intelligent Road Safety and CVIS – Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure systems.
