About GCDC

"The paradigm shift goes from a car receiving information only to a car communicating bi-directionally with its environment. The car will become an open system and the car industry will see a change in much the same way that mainframe computer vendors and incumbent telecom operators saw their world change within a decade. We invite all the bright minds to create the best solution and to test them in an open challenge. Who will become the Microsoft of the car operating system? It will take decades, five system generations of evolution, but the automobile will become a real auto (auto) mobile."

The proving ground
High Tech Automotive Systems (HTAS) and TNO are the initiators of the challenge. In the Netherlands, as in many densely populated regions whose infrastructure is being stretched to full capacity and beyond, congestion is a national problem; traffic jams are a regular feature all over the country. Not surprisingly, therefore, the Dutch government actively supports the introduction of intelligent vehicle technology through its traffic policies. The energetic cooperation of industry, research institutes, road operators and government is vital to tackling traffic problems successfully. And as an international frontrunner in cooperative driving technologies, the Netherlands is the appropriate proving ground for making this challenge a success for all.
Cooperative driving state-of-the-art technology
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.
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.

The biggest inefficiency that you’ll find on the highway has to do with the acceleration and deceleration of the cars around you. This creates all these empty pockets of road and it has a weird domino effect on traffic.
