The STIC (Science and Technology) Research Centre (CReSTIC, EA 3804) undertakes two new projects financed by the European Commission Directorate-General for Transport: C-ROADS and InterCor.

C-ROADS

After an initial promising project on connected vehicles, SCOOP@F, the collaboration between CReSTIC and the DG Transport continues with the C-ROADS European platform project. This platform brings together a set of projects relating to automatic, connected and cooperative driving in 12 European countries. This new five-year project aims to create a cooperative and intelligent transport system (C-ITS) that can work securely between countries.

The French platform project is coordinated by the Ministry of Ecology, Energy and the Sea (MEEM) and brings together a wide range of actors from the transport and ICT sectors: major automotive groups (PSA, Renault), public authorities (MEEM, IFSTTAR), major urban areas (Lyon, Bordeaux) and research structures (University of Auvergne, Institut Mines Télecom).

InterCor

CReSTIC is continuing its work on connected vehicles with the fourth project financed by the DG Transport, in close collaboration with C-ROADS and SCOOP@F.

The project focuses on specific aspects of cooperative and intelligent transport systems, in particular collecting and sharing information on roadworks, lorry parking and tunnel logistics.

Over three years, the 16 partners, based in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, will work on the implementation of pilot experiments on road in each country, for example between Paris and Lille for France.
