CVIS + CERES collaboration report

For the past few years the Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure Systems (CVIS) project has been working to enable vehicles to talk to each other and to infrastructure in order to enable safer, greener and more fun transportation. In parallel our lab at Halmstad University has been working towards the same goals within the Vehicle Alert System (VAS) project. As CVIS nears its end we summarized our work together in a report which is now available from the CVIS website.

"Parallel activities bring CVIS results closer to deployment

We have received the final report on the collaboration activities between CERES/VAS and CVIS, one of the 14 projects we are cooperating (or currently discussing cooperation) with: CVIS grants use of CVIS Reference Execution Platform, Core Software and CVIS Software Developers’ Kit in exchange for external testing and evaluation (see Third Party Cooperation section of this website).

In March 2007, an agreement was made for interchange of experiences between CVIS and the Centre for Research on Embedded Systems (CERES) at Halmstad University in Sweden. The majority of the work relating to this collaboration has been conducted within the CERES project Vehicle Alert System (VAS), aiming to use vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications to provide different types of warning messages. The main focus of the VAS project is on communication and in particular the lower layers of the communication stack are investigated."
