UK CITE Project Overview: Trialling Mixed Road Types and Speeds up to 70mph
The UK CITE Project aims to trial mixed road types and speeds up to 70mph, focusing on functionality, safety, and convenience. The project involves stakeholders like vehicle manufacturers, highways authorities, and communication companies to enhance road network efficiency. Work packages include project management, infrastructure development, vehicle systems, cybersecurity, and more. The project utilizes embedded modem receivers and V2X communications for data transfer and autonomous capabilities, addressing challenges such as consortium complexity and funding requirements while achieving successes in defining architecture and completing prototype testing.

UK CITE Project Overview The project will be trialling Mixed road types and speeds up to 70mph Functionality, Safety and Convenience - Both DSRC 802.11p and LTE V - Wi-Fi services on the move Road network efficiency and modelling Multipath broadcasting using multiple communications methods Whole journey experience - Interlink between the urban and Strategic Road Network Local and National Highways Authorities The Vehicle Manufacturers & Suppliers Stakeholders The consumer/ businesses and their journey experience Communications Companies and Infrastructure Providers Co Project Leads
Work Packages and Leads WP1 Project Management Visteon WP2 Back Office Siemens WP3 Infrastructure Highways England WP4 Vehicle Systems JLR WP5 Cyber Security University of Warwick (WMG) WP6 Trialling and Testing JLR WP7 VRSM and Mobility App Visteon WP8 Driver Interface Testing WP9 Simulation and Modelling Horiba MIRA WP10 Business Case University of Warwick (WMG) WP11 Exploitation, Dissemination and Comms Horiba MIRA
The Technology Mix Embedded Modem Receivers Data received directly into car Smartphone Graphic and Audio transfer Smartphone Audio Transfer Safety & Autonomous V2X Communications The method of communication to and from vehicles is dependent upon the installed technology The content of the communication depends on BOTH the installed technology BUT also the information type and urgency Connected Corridors must take into account installed technology, information type and urgency to provide near- term benefits and long-term solutions
Challenges and Successes Challenges Large consortium complex WP interactions - takes time to agree direction Infrastructure power constraints Ensuring project continues to be aligned with changes to protocol, standards and technology during the project life how to keep the research up to date and relevant funding required scope changes File sharing Successes USE CASES defined Vehicle architecture frozen High level architecture defined Infrastructure design completed Bench testing complete Prototype android app complete (virtual gantry) Cyber Security SoA report issued 1st UK LTE-V vehicle demo for CACC High visibility
High Level System Architecture RCC Regional Control Centre, CCC Coventry City Council, NRTS - National Road Telecommunication system, DSRC Dedicated Short Range Communications
Test Route Road and Track Five different road types 1. Smart Motorway (M42) 2. Motorway (M40) 3. Expressway(A46) 4. A-road (A45) 5. Urban (A4114/A4035) A45 M42 A4114 Coventry Solihull A4053 M42 A46 J3A Mixture of Urban and Interurban SRN M40 DSRC V2V (802.11p) Cellular V2V (LTE-V) Cellular & DSRC V2I Cellular V2N Royal Leamington Spa A46 M40 DSRC only sites No V2X sites JLR Co-sited DSRC and LTE-V (Gaydon) Existing LTE (M42 coverage indicated only)
Vehicles 100+ vehicles Stage 1 - 3 fully kitted vehicles OBU s, embedded displays Stage 2 20 vehicles per month for 5 months with mobile apps Stage 3 20-30 vehicles with data connection via OBDII port
