| "Until now, information communications technology (ICT) driven safety systems for car drivers and other road users have been predominantly autonomous or stand-alone devices. However, a recently-launched EU project has set itself the task of developing a 'smart' system to allow vehicles and road infrastructure to communicate, which promises not only to improve traffic flow, safety and the environmental impact of road traffic, but also to enhance driver comfort." (Cordis News, 2006-04-25)
Following the project's launch, the first CVIS press_release was included in several publications: The Intelligent Highway; ITS International; IST Results (DG INFSO e-bulletin); Transport Times; Infrasite (Dutch indepedent information platform for infrastructure, road, rail, water, construction, traffic, safety, projects, news, innovation and mobility); World Highways; ITS Solutions (Traffic Engineering & Control magazine); Transport News Network; Ireland's Technology News Service; Road & Rail Technology.
Other related EC-funded projects gave CVIS some publicity in their own publications: eSafetySupport, COMeSafety.
Project information has also been disseminated through several CVIS partners' websites: TNO, FEHRL, THETIS, MAPFLOW and ERTICO
