Unlocking the future of interchange networks

[Project]

Cross-border collaboration for a connected world

This initiative enables C-ITS service providers to seamlessly connect to a vast network by linking with just one interchange, marking a significant advancement in smart mobility.

 

Demonstrating the essence of international cooperation, Telecom Italia (TIM S.p.A.) has established connections to the Sweden Interchange, harnessing data from Norway. This venture paves the way for Spain’s Centro Tecnológico de Automoción de Galicia (CTAG) to integrate into this expansive mobility network, further extending our collaborative horizons.

Global standards for empowered mobility

In a statement from CTAG, they emphasise their mission: “One of the main objectives for CTAG as manager of the SISCOGA CCAM corridor located in Spain is to ensure the best performances for the V2X services available for road users and testers. With this in mind, reliability and interoperability are and should be observed, as well as whatever kind of communication technology (short or long-range) supports the provision of such services. We firmly believe that services should be technology agnostic, using what is available or fitting better in every situation.”

Commitment to seamless mobility

CTAG continues, “To this extent, we see participation in C-Roads test activities as key to meeting such commitment due to the different characteristics of the European road transport system and different national strategies for deploying V2X services. To cater specifically to long-range communication and associated issues, participation in C-Roads TF4 “Hybrid communication” test sessions was established and kept beyond the end of our funded C-ROADS project activities. In our view, collaborating with the process to jointly create a harmonised, interoperable and sustainable large-scale network for data exchange between countries coexisting with the provision of short-range based communication is key to exploit all the potential of V2X services to improve levels of safety, efficiency and pollution reduction along European roads.”

The essence of interchanges

C-ITS services rely on the seamless interaction between various mobility stakeholders’ systems. This complex ecosystem benefits greatly from interchanges, akin to telephone exchanges in smart mobility, enabling efficient service matchmaking and data exchange across different domains.

Why embrace interchange federations?

Interchange federations are crucial, providing a unified access point for service providers to explore and utilise data across the network. This not only fosters innovation but also streamlines the development of mobility solutions, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of smart mobility services.

Benefits across the mobility ecosystem

The interchange federation system offers widespread benefits:

  • Service Providers: Discover and access comprehensive data, enabling the creation of optimal mobility solutions.
  • Road Users: Receive accurate and timely traffic updates, improving safety and travel efficiency.
  • Road Authorities: Gain insights from expanded data sets, facilitating better decision-making for infrastructure improvements.
