CyberInfra: Cybersecure Traffic Infrastructure for the digitized transport system

Purpose and goal

The overall goal of the project is to develop, integrate, verify, validate, and refine a prototype of connected traffic infrastructure, as well as measure the beneficial effect of its use in combination with other connected traffic infrastructure. The project aims to investigate the beneficial effect of interoperable, digital, and connected traffic infrastructure linked to open data systems made available using the combination of 5G connectivity and, for example, digital road signs or TMA signs to reduce the risk of accidents during roadworks.

Expected effects and result

The project has great potential to significantly reduce the number of accidents and incidents, both from vehicles hitting TMA trucks, as well as in chain collisions between other vehicles before the roadwork. The project will provide input on how the digital infrastructure for the future connected transport system should look, in the form of requirements and specific use cases. During the course of the project, requirements will be defined, a digital infrastructure will be implemented, a prototype will be built, demonstrated, and the effectiveness of the solution will be evaluated.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is divided into seven work packages: WP 1: Project management and Dissemination, WP 2: Requirements analysis, WP 3: Connected traffic infrastructure, WP 4: 5G Data transfer, WP 5: Verification & demonstration, WP 6: Method development impact analysis, and WP 7: Impact analysis and validation. WP 1 runs throughout the project duration, WP 2-5 aims to create, test, and verify connected traffic infrastructure, while WP 6-7 aims to develop a methodology for, and investigate the effects of the introduction of connected traffic infrastructure in simulations and reality.
