What makes ADVANCE unique?

GSM

•Private stand alone multi cell voice & data telecoms

•Replicates specification & functionality of a GSM network

•12 Base stations giving dynamic power control & GSM blanket coverage over the site

•Directional antennae enables precise coverage which can be enhanced or degraded in a controlled fashion

•Allows priority routing & communications denial to replicate urban scenarios

Wi-Fi

•Secure wireless data transfer from infrastructure / Vehicles / test track to the Control Lab…& Control Centre•6 WAP giving unilateral 802.11b/g/n•Each WAP can be precisely controlled via a control interface

•Supports GSM1800, upgrade to GSM 900

•Full contention based comms for testing under limited resource conditions

•Required settings can be pre-defined

•Seamless cell to cell handover – voice and data

•Fixed mobile convergence •Hard & soft SIM – 20 plus handsets per cell

•3G upgrade path

Putting you in complete control

On Track Plug & play Control Centre allows repeat, interruption and continuation testing of network and operational effects and situations

Functionality allows pre-definable site operational characteristics and milestone benchmarks or fully customisable real time adaptation

Linked Control Centre for ‘off site’ data generation, authentication and analysis of stationary and moving artefacts (V2V & V2I)

Multiple data access points featuring a ‘user friendly’ customisable graphical interface via http for setting and viewing communications parameters

Advanced scripting interface with lightweight viewer and heavyweight extensible framework options

Private access to all data for client own visualisation

Communication Technology

Use Case: Real world improvements

Communications provide information

• Beyond autonomous sensor range• Beyond the driver´s visual range• With enriched details and quality

Creation of an information horizon

• Pertinent to the driver• Extending safety time margin• Extending beyond the physical horizon• Non observable attributes

Communication technology: Improvements through foresighted driving

Communications - better than the driver

Complex sensors - as good as the driver

Simple sensors – worse than the driver

Use Case: Validating solutions

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications

Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications

1. Demonstration and impact assessment of vehicular communication technology applications for:• Traffic efficiency / mobility• Safety / driver information and warnings• Services2. Validation of C2X communication systems andtechnologies developed in the various national, European and ad hoc projects3. Prototypical realisation of an integrated communicationnetwork for vehicular applications• Involvement of traffic authorities through vehicle infrastructurecommunication (RSUs) and suitable back endsystems• Hybrid system: GSM/UMTS and WLAN for basiccommunication purposes, DSRC also add-on communicationfor real time data4. Prototype components for vehicle and infrastructureequipment5. Implementation strategies, business models, businesseconomics and political and economic calculations

Connecting vehicles, highways and telecommunications

Automotive (OEM & Suppliers) • New product development & testing• Demonstration & showcasing• Verification & certification - homologation• Partnership & Collaboration

Telecommunications• Access & application testing• Blue sky testing / new sectors of demand• Ad hoc networks, DSRC networks & Wi-Fi connectivity • Mesh compatibility & validation

Infrastructure• UTMC• Technology compatibility & effectiveness• Concept design, testing and validation • Driver behaviour studies
