CVIS Sub-projects
The CVIS project has broken down the many complex issues that need to be addressed to realise its vision by structuring its activities into four blocks of related sub-projects, three of which represent the "building blocks" for cooperative systems, i.e. the major scientific and technology research and development blocks:
The first two blocks work in parallel developing basic specifications for real working software and hardware, and then come together in a series of increasingly integrated test-beds, or reference implementations, that are then taken up and integrated for field trials at the CVIS test sites.
A distinction is made between coordination-oriented, technology-oriented, application-oriented and demonstration-oriented sub-projects:
-
Coordination-oriented sub-projects:
SP 1.1 - IP Management
The management of the consortium activities is shared between the IP Management and the CAG sub-projects: the technical management is carried out by the Core Architecture Group while the IP Management activities that operate under the guidance of the project Co-ordinator are the administrative support, financial management and dissemination. It is also within this sub-project's responsibilities to ensure the appropriate co-operation between all the sub-projects and with other related projects.
SP 1.2 - Core Architecture Group (CAG)
SP 1.3 - Deployment Enablers (DEPN)
SP 2.1 - Communications and networking (COMM)
SP 2.2 – Framework for Open Application Management (FOAM)
SP 2.3 – Positioning, Mapping and Location Referencing (POMA)
SP 3.1 - Urban cooperative system applications (CURB)
SP 3.2 - Interurban cooperative system applications (CINT)
SP 3.3 – Cooperative Fleet and Freight applications (CF&F)
SP 3.4 – Cooperative Monitoring (COMO)
A second important organisational entity within CVIS is that of the test site. Test sites are focused on testing the specifications that have been developed by the technology and application sub-projects. There are six test sites:
- France
- Germany
- Italy
- Netherlands-Belgium
- Sweden
- United Kingdom
In general, each application is trialled at several test sites, and each test site hosts several applications. This is deliberate and is intended to provide a more robust validation of the applications and a clear demonstration of the interoperability of technologies, vehicles and infrastructure installations.
The link between test sites and sub-projects is shown in the table below:
