Inschrijving internationale GCDC2011 geopend (NL)

March 24th, 2010

Op dinsdag 23 maart opent de inschrijving voor de Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge (GCDC) 2011, een unieke wedstrijd tussen kennisinstellingen, universiteiten en bedrijven met als doel de ontwikkeling en invoering van coöperatief rijden te versnellen.

Coöperatief rijden leidt tot betere verkeersdoorstroming, veiligheid, minder milieubelasting en meer comfort in het verkeer doordat de voertuigen onderling en met de infrastructuur langs de weg communiceren. In maart 2011 organiseren TNO en HTAS tussen Eindhoven en Helmond voor de eerste keer de GCDC om de reeds ontwikkelde innovaties en technologische oplossingen op het gebied van cooperatief rijden te presenteren. De deelnemende teams kunnen zich daarvoor online en op de GCDC-stand in hal 9 – 305 tijdens de InterTraffic inschrijven.

TNO stimuleert innovatieve ontwikkelingen op het gebied van coöperatief rijden, die toepasbaar zijn op alle soorten voertuigen op de weg. Met de GCDC nodigt TNO ’s werelds slimste brains uit om in een open samenwerking de beste oplossingen te bedenken en deze te testen in een open competitie. Dit alles vindt plaats in een realistische setting namelijk op de rijksweg A270 tussen Eindhoven en Helmond.

 

Opzet

 

 

De GCDC-organisatie laat de deelnemende teams een zogenaamde schokgolf-test uitvoeren. Tijdens de test rijden de voertuigen zelfstandig, met behulp van zelfontwikkelde innovatieve technologie, op korte afstand van elkaar met als doel brandstofbesparing en verbeterde verkeersdoorstroming. Om praktijksituaties zoveel mogelijk te simuleren wordt tevens getest hoe de voertuigen reageren op moment dat het voorste voertuig plotseling veel snelheid vermindert. De teams krijgen de kans hun Car-to-Car (C2C) en Car-to-Infrastructure (C2I) technologie te testen. Op de website GCDC.net kunnen deelnemende teams alle documenten vinden voor hun deelname aan de GCDC2011. Met deze reglementen kunnen de deelnemende teams gericht en concreet aan de slag.

 

Verwachtingen

 

Egbert-Jan Sol, CTO van TNO Industrie en Techniek, verwacht dat “het merendeel van de belangrijkste bedrijven, instituten en universiteiten op het gebied van coöperatief rijden zich zullen inschrijven voor de GCDC2011.” Al eind 2009 namen gerenommeerde organisaties als Toyota en Renault, onderzoeksinstituten DLR, Fraunhofer en NICTA en de universiteiten van Berlijn, Illinois Chicago, Genua, Eindhoven, Delft en Twente deel aan workshops ter voorbereiding op de GCDC.

About cooperative driving

Cooperative driving is a promising technology for reducing traffic jams, limiting CO2 emissions and preventing traffic accidents. Cooperative systems offer the drivers, road authorities and the infrastructure more information about the vehicles, their location, their intention and the road conditions – there is connectivity between vehicles, and between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. This enables more efficient and safer traffic as well as early warnings for upcoming traffic situations (like incidents and hazards).

 

About GCDC

The Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge, GCDC, aims to accelerate the introduction of cooperative vehicle technologies to contribute significantly to the alleviation of traffic problems and improved traffic safety. Teams from all over the world will be competing to deliver the most effective cooperative driving system. HTAS and TNO, two leading Dutch automotive research institutes are organizing the challenge. The challenge will consist of several scenarios in which vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications and cooperative behaviours will be evaluated to demonstrate improved

safety on the road and a reduction in travel time over congested highways. A prize pool of approximately 500.000 euro’s has been established. The challenge begins in 2009 and the finals are scheduled for 2011. In March 2010, a GCDC demonstration will be conducted as part of an intelligent vehicles exposition in Amsterdam. The finals will take place on a specially-equipped public road network (on the A270 between the cities of Eindhoven and Helmond).

 

About HTAS

High Tech Automotive Systems is a Dutch automotive innovation program empowered by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs together with industry, knowledge institutes and university partners. The focus areas of HTAS are Driving Guidance and Efficient Vehicles.

In addition HTAS has an ‘Enablers’ program for automotive education, knowledge transfer and business development.

 

About TNO

Developing, integrating and applying knowledge: it is this combination that differentiates  TNO from other knowledge institutions. By encouraging the effective interplay of knowledge areas, TNO generates creative and practicable innovations: new products, services and  processes, fully customized for business and government.
